[div class="excerpt"Inside the Senate building, as Marshall began to answer questions from reporters, several dozen abortion rights supporters began to drown him out, chanting, "Shame, shame" repeatedly. Capital Police officers restrained two protesters, and all were quickly escorted out of the General Assembly building.

Emotions were similarly intense over the ultrasound mandate.

This is starting to look like all out war on women in America. When will America say; "Enough!"

They had some snipets on the local news here in VA. Very powerful image of women screaming and crying as the shameless vagina invaders lit their celebratory cigars.

Just disgusting.

1. But I thought

The conservatives wanted government out of health care?

7. This isn't health care, and they know it

This is raping women because of their "sinning" against a radically reactionary set of moral standards promulgated by RW monsters.

2. What the fuck is happening to this country?

6. This is some seriously scary shit. n/t

11. I completely agree - they're treading dangerous territory here.

3. do you mean the personhood bill?

What's wrong with DU? My post box is running into the menu on the left.

5. Fixed it

I was so mad I couldn't see straight when I initially posted this. It is the Personhood Bill.

When are they going to outlaw male masturbation? Every time you jizz into your "happy sock" Ricky Santorum cries!

Sorry, but "happy sock" was a term we used in the Navy.

[ohheckyeah]

8. I figured that was what you were talking about....

but I have a cold so I wanted to make sure there wasn't some other stupid bill out there.

I'm so sick of this shit going on in Virginia.

9. I like that! And I like your OP. But just a little change would be good...

I think you meant that tempers "flare" instead of "flair." I say this as one who does this kind of thing all the time and it is a pain in the ass when I see my mistake and do a facepalm. In fact, I'll bet I do it MORE often...judging by some of the mistakes I have made...

4. I smell a tremendous backlash

Isn't better than 50% of the population female? Most of the women I've known in my life were were very smart and primarily very independent. I honestly don't think they'll stand for it.

10. I sincerely hope some men will join in too!

These issues affect everyone one way or another.

And there is no way this crap/nightmare legislation will stand.
