"Thank you for cutting off funding to cancer screening programs in order to prove you are pro-life"

Hammer meet nail.

1. du rec. nt

[Frances]

2. First they came for

Acorn

Then they came for women's health

What next?

[BumRushDaShow]

3. What's next? They took out NPR. n/t

[tech_smythe]

21. they started with NPR so no one would know

that's how they did the rest.
the M$M is owned by them, so easy to hide the truth.
but NPR is by definition independent.

personally i'd make sure something like NPR's funds are guaranteed so that they can be unbiased, even against the government.

but there I go, me and my liberal thinking, wanting freedom of the press and a balanced media!

[a simple pattern]

7. The library.

[Blue_Tires]

30. They are still working on OWS

[Blue Owl]

4. There's a fucking Hallmark moment for your favorite Republican

n/t

[Skinner]

5. Perfect.

[WilliamPitt]

8. Thanks!

Nice new shop you've got here. I find the Jury System thing to be empowering.

[Initech]

6. I hate "pro lifers" more and more every day.

To me this is the last straw. They are absolute psychopaths.

[IcyPeas]

10. so do I, Initech

this absolutely infuriates me

[Initech]

15. What I seriously fear with a Gingrich or Romney admin:

Is that the pukes will appoint a far right successor to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tipping the court permanently right for the next several decades and overturn Roe v. Wade. I fear this act will be enough to spark a civil war.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into this- am I?

[flygal]

17. I truly believe that'll never happen!

It's their golden ticket to lead their flock. As long as they have this enemy they'll have their sheep falling in line.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. I think you are correct on this.

[usrname]

39. That's correct

Roe v Wade is their bait for money and votes. They can't let it overturn. That doesn't mean they won't do things like not fund women's reproductive health care, make life miserable for OB-GYN doctors, force rates to go up on medical malpractice premiums on OB-GYN doctors and a whole host of other nefarious ways to make abortion difficult to obtain or provide.

R v W is their golden goose, so they're not going to kill it, just make the issue irrelevant in real life, but keep screaming "But Roe v Wade!"

[Raffi Ella]

11. +1

20. I have met one pro-life person in my 65 years, and

I was pretty impressed. She and I agreed on a vast number of issues, including you cannot stop abortion by merely making it illegal. She felt you had to go after the root causes.

Now, the anti-abortion crowd that wants to carry out a genocidal war against the Persians, they are absolutely psychopaths.

[glowing]

34. They aren't pro-lifer's.. They are anti-choicers..

Pro-life would mean they actually would approve of more funding to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place, and once a baby is born, that the baby will grow up and thrive in a nourishing, loving home; not live out its life in a home of poverty...

[LostinRed]

35. Thank you. I was going to say the same thing

I hate the term pro-life because they arent' just as you stated. These people want to refuse a woman's right to choose but yet I would bet most (except for the Catholic contingency) are pro-death penalty, and are usually the first cheerleaders for going to war a-la Rick Santorum.

[Initech]

45. That's why I used "pro life" in quotations.

George Carlin had a great bit about these douchebags:

[MH1]

51. They are PRO-DEATH. They believe a woman should DIE rather than have an abortion. Even if RAPED.

They are sick fucks who are not even remotely pro life. It's all about controlling women.

[WilliamPitt]

9. Kick for awesomeness

[Lightning_McQueen]

12. I've known Susan G. Komen Breast charity is nothing but a scam

Since it's run by a Republican.

The CEO of Susan G. Komen is a Republican. And a woman. They are known to spend lavishly and foolishly.

That's why I haven't given one single penny to them.

It all goes to Planned Parenthood.

As it should.

This is all you need to know about Susan G. Komen:

[lyonn]

40. Send dollars to Planned Parenthood, simple

The arrogance of the Koman group (republicans personified). Save the baby but starve it?? Deprive women of birth control options, health care in general for women that are in need which includes many college students. It's unbelievable this mentality. PP is getting a check from me and it seems others have contributed over $400,000.!!

Edit dollar amt., oops

[Lightning_McQueen]

42. I'm pretty positive that Komen won't survive this fatal mistake.

As PP is defunded, then the donations to Komen will rapidly dry up, except for the usual misguided anti-choicers.

The BoD will then fire Brinker and Handel and bring in competent leadership.

[MzNov]

13. they are not pro-life in any respect

just anti abortion since it's one of those poor liberal women things (until the rich need an abortion, then it's quite different.)

To hell with Komen.

[dmr]

41. Yes, that's the distinction.

I don't know anyone who isn't pro-life.

I am pro-life.

But the distinction between them and us, is we are also pro-women, also known as, pro-choice.

Rich women get D&Cs, poor women get coat hangers.

[11 Bravo]

14. Oh, man! That is as good as it gets. I will be sharing this far and wide. (K&R)

[WilliamPitt]

16. Up

[ProfessionalLeftist]

18. It's so incredibly Republican, isn't it? n/t

[Withywindle]

19. The Komen Foundation is a perfect example

of a charity that started out with the best of intentions--and the further it gets from its source, the weaker its mission-commitment becomes.

[WilliamPitt]

22. Kick

[ZenLefty]

23. Where did this quote come from? Who said it?

I'd google it but that would waste a good opportunity to kick this thread.

[WilliamPitt]

25. I don't know.

Found it on facebook. There's a credit in the corner of the pic.

Whoever came up with it needs a job with the DNC.

[ZenLefty]

27. Ah, I'm guessing you posted a graphic I can't see.

Work blocks a lot of that and all I see is white space. I don't even see the little red X's like we used to have.

[WilliamPitt]

32. The text of my OP title is the message you're missing

The pic is of a nurse looking at a sheet of paper.

[ZenLefty]

47. I'm home now. I can see it.

Awesome.

[WilliamPitt]

49. Hee.

[Rex]

24. It makes you wonder

how reason works inside their minds. 'Reason and rational thought' to a GOPer, is complete anarchy to a normal person. Why is that? How did such a large sector of the populace go so wrong?

[arthritisR_US]

26. They may be pro-embryo BUT they are NOT pro-life! n/t

[PRETZEL]

29. +1

[justiceischeap]

28. And none of them are pro-life, they're all anti-choice

Just saying...

[City Lights]

33. Excellent!

[appleannie1]

36. They cut off their nipple to spite their breast. Now it is biting their ass

[magical thyme]

37. they're not pro-life. they're anti-abortion. that's why they hate

contraception, too.

[Arkana]

44. Not anti-abortion: anti-choice.

Every move they make, every shit piece of legislation they attempt to pass, every poor woman who gets harassed on her way to get a pap smear at Planned Parenthood, every gruesome picture of dead fetuses they use to try and shame scared women into not exercising their right to choose is designed to make women suffer consequences from having sex.

They are anti-choice. They want to regulate women's reproductive organs because they believe women are incapable of doing it themselves.

[Cali_Democrat]

38. Nice!

[Arkana]

43. Because malignant tumors are people too, dammit!

[countryjake]

46. Kick!

[11 Bravo]

48. Can't rec it again, but I can sure as Hell keep kicking it!

[maryellen99]

50. Now that SGK has defunded PP

Where will they send low income women for breast screenings-Crisis Pregnancy Centers?
