Which century is this again?

As the political season slouches forward, and the gop candidate-picking contest continues to devolve into something more closely resembling 'Swamp People' rather than an attempt to find a bona fide contender to go up against the President, the relentless republican War on Women continues.

In Virginia they are on the verge of mandating 'State Rape' in the form of forced ultrasounds for any women wanting an abortion, regardless of the reason.

In Oklahoma they are ready to officially call a fertilized human egg a 'person', and bestow upon it all manner of constitutional rights. This would immediately make the destruction of a fertilized human egg a crime. So you know, if you were a pregnant woman that mis-carried, you would technically be a criminal and could face investigation and prosecution.

In the Senate there are various bills being put forth to try and allow employers to 'opt out' of paying for birth control, because you know, a woman's sole purpose is to pro-create here in the twenty-first century.

This all comes on the heels of the American Catholic Bishops getting all ginned up about being forced to pay for contraception by President Obama's health care bill, something they say that goes against their fundamental principles, although covering up the rape of thousands of children by pedophile priests in their midst apparently doesn't...

I have said it before, and I'll say it again, if you have a vagina and you vote Republican you need to have your head examined. What will it take for you to understand they HATE you? They don't want you to have access to affordable health care (see the outrage when Susan G. Komen walked back their ill-fated decision to fuck with Planned Parenthood), they don't want you to have control over your own reproductive cycle, and if you get pregnant and don't want to take it to full-term, well you are well and truly fucked aren't you?

Folks, politicians in the USA like to attach the word 'war' alot to things they want to get funding and support for, the 'war' on drugs, the 'war' on cancer, the 'war' on terror (how do you fight a noun exactly?), so make no mistake about it, the republican party has declared 'war' on women....oh they may try and wrap it up as some sort of benevolent "we're only trying to protect generations of future women from being harmed", but when their anti-abortion legislation is so strict it would prevent pregnant victims of incest and rape from aborting the fetus, I think you truly get what they are after, total control over women's bodies.

This issue has nothing to do with protecting cute, cuddly babies, and EVERYTHING to do with MEN telling WOMEN what they can do with their bodies, and bugger-all else.

So ladies, this fall, in State and Federal elections wherever you are, get out there and vote for candidates that will support women's rights, and fight to keep angry old white men out of your vaginas...
