Arizona Woman Emails Representative Jack Harper; Harper Calls Her "Baby-Killer"
bylisakerr
Below is the text of an email written by a woman (she gave us permission to reprint here but we have removed her name) who responded to her local State Representative, Jack Harper about the recent Arizona anti-abortion bills and suggestions from Terri Proud that women should have to watch a video of abortions being performed before having the procedure.

In response to this email, a member of NOW (National Organization for Women) and feminist blogger, Lisa Blank called to verify that Jack Harper had personally sent the message telling a constituent her reproductive rights message is a 'baby killer message.' His office confirmed with, "Rep. Harper does respond to his own emails and if you saw the email on the Internet it is most likely correct."
Wow.

(16,093 posts)And it was scum that got him elected, and some of that scum were women...so you see it isn't just the politician, it's also his supporters.
To remove scum like this, you have to remove the scum that votes...I don't see that happening!

If you can help fear-based, easily propagandized, anti-intellectual, neo-conservative people understand how much their mendacious 'leaders' disrespect them, perhaps they will open their minds. Note that I recommend an appeal to their emotions, since they likely cling vociferously to "you'll pry my belief system from my cold, dead brain."
