"We have anti-choice women in for abortions all the time. Many of them are just naive and ignorant until they find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Many of them are not malicious. They just haven’t given it the proper amount of thought until it completely affects them. They can be judgmental about their friends, family, and other women. Then suddenly they become pregnant. Suddenly they see the truth. That it should only be their own choice. Unfortunately, many also think that somehow they are different than everyone else and they deserve to have an abortion, while no one else does."

There’s a really great article about this exact phenomenon: The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion

The Siege of Planned Parenthood

Our legislative slogan for 2011: Let Them Use Leeches.

“What is more fiscally responsible than denying any and all funding to Planned Parenthood of America?” demanded Representative Mike Pence of Indiana, the chief sponsor of a bill to bar the government from directing any money to any organization that provides abortion services.

New Law Would Allow Hospitals to Deny Abortion Care To Women

This could affect women who have had miscarriages, because often the treatment post-miscarriage is the same procedure as an abortion, and who could be in danger of serious infections or other complications without the intervention. It could affect women who fully intended to carry their pregnancies to term, but who had life-threatening complications. They could be refused a life-saving procedure. In some jurisdictions, that would probably be considered negligent homicide. But since a pregnant woman somehow magically loses her personhood and becomes nothing more than the vessel holding the sacred fetus in the minds of these “pro-life” monsters, they don’t see it that way.

JESUS SHITTING CHRIST, DON’T THESE PEOPLE HAVE AN ECONOMY TO FIX?  UNEMPLOYMENT RATES TO REDUCE?  WARS TO LIE TO US ABOUT?  ISN’T EGYPT CURRENTLY FUCKED UP? 

SO WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THIS “PUNISHING PEOPLE WITH A UTERUS” SHIT?  Is this REALLY where Congress believes they are most needed right now?! 

And for the people who voted for these assholes: are you getting your money’s worth?  Are they really “restoring” America?  Or are they wasting their fucking time worrying about abortion issues when they could be doing what they fucking promised you they’d do?
