Bush: "Fetuses deserve more protection than persons with disabilities"

[Proud2BAmurkin]

"These principles call us to defend the sick and the dying, persons with disabilities and birth defects, all who are weak and vulnerable, especially unborn children," the president said.


"ESPECIALLY unborn children"

There you have it. FUCK THE DISABLED, THE SICK AND THE DYING. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FETUSES"

[Lerkfish]

1. I also note that disablities is in there with death and dying people.

I will say it again: Bush is a compassionless sociopath.

[babylonsister]

2. And injured and ignored soldiers and vets aren't even a part

of this equation. :grr:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

3. Pandering fuck

Utterly without a brain, nothing but a pandering, soulless fuck.

Just when I think I can't possibly despise him any more, I find new depths of my disgust.

[dogday]

4. My Son used to be a fetus, does that count?

Now they don't care if he lives or dies in Iraq... How can they value life just to deflate it as you get older and sicker?????

[Virginian]

5. So if a disabled woman finds herself pregnant, and can't physically carry

a pregnancy, she has to die because the unborn are more important?

If an otherwise healthy woman becomes pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy, she has to die or face permant infertility because the unborn are more important, even if they can't survive once the host body has died?

Oh, better spy on all women so that any abortions can be prevented. Require monthly pregnancy tests. False positive tests will be prosecuted just as real positive tests if the woman fails to produce offspring.

[f-bush]

6. What a fucking hypocrit

Bush and his asshole friends specially the fundies are! Yeah lets make godamn sure the fetus is born, but fuck the person once he/she is among us. My wife used to teach at a Catholic school, St. Patrick's in Tacoma, Washington and they used to allow the Right to Life to bring fetus' into the classroom.

They would go on and on about the sanctity of life, but wouldn't give a shit about a homeless person, hungary person one that is marginalized or was different than their upper, upper middle class sensibilities.

[Ezlivin]

7. I was a civilian fetus, now I'm a disabled veteran

Should I try to reapply to the birth canal?

"Uh, Mom, I've got a request..."

I hate to say this, but I just wish Bush or his daughters were paralyzed from the neck down. Maybe then King George could muster some fucking sympathy.

[stoneisland]

19. That's...

A pretty ugly sentiment. Shouldn't we be above that kind of thing?

[Ezlivin]

28. Dude, it may be "ugly" to you, but it's life as usual for millions of

taxpaying Americans.

Many people (and I'm counting Bush and his family among them) have absolutely no sympathy or empathy unless they or someone they know suffers from a disability.

Blacks used to complain about riding at the back of the bus. Most buses can't even carry a disabled citizen.

Next time you're out, count the number of people you see enjoying life from a wheelchair. For every one you see, there are probably a few hundred that remain unseen.

Until Bush or someone in his family suffers a life-changing disability, it will be business as usual.

8. fetuses & the 2nd Amendment

That's how they convince their minions that they're the god and patriot party.

I wonder what our founding fathers would think if they knew their sacrifices had been whittled down to brandishing a gun in defense of glob of cells.

[Ian David]

12. Don't forget gay marriage. Gay marriage destroys societies

Unlike war, poverty, pollution, and global warming which promote healthy families.

[sandnsea]

17. No, it's just fetuses and guns

They convince their voters they care about the needs of people by fighting for the "unborn". And they convince their voters they care about the country and constitution by fighting for the 2nd Amendment. It's really only those two issues that has millions of Americans voting R, either outright because of abortion or guns; or to mask the fact that all they really want is their tax cut.

[Ian David]

9. There were sick and dying AND FETUSES in New Orleans!

There are fetuses dying every day in Iraq!

[Deb]

10. Oh my freaking gawd

bush can shove that self rightous pity where the sun don't shine. I'll bet the ignorant ass doesn't realize how insulting his statement is. Why, oh, why do I let him get to me.... ahhhhhhh!:mad:

Where was George Bush this time? Where was right to life?

What the story doesn't tell is she was (unlike Terry Schiavo) was conscious and responsive when the ventilator was turned off.

http://dailykos.com/tag/Tirhas%20Habtegiris


"Baylor Regional Medical Center, gave her family 10 days notice and then pulled the respirator themselves. They pulled it, without asking her, while Tirhas was still conscious and perfectly aware that she was being deliberately suffocated. They pulled it while her family was there to watch the process, even though the family disagreed with decision. Tirhas suffocated consciously and knowingly for about 15 minutes."

http://shotofpolitics.blogspot.com/2005/12/if-you-dont-have-money-in-this-country.html



Why no Republican intervention?
1) She wasn't white.
2) She had no insurance.
3) She was an immigrant, legal, but an immigrant.
Don't think it doesn't happen? I saw one patient denied the cath lab on Christmas eve because he had no insurance.

Where profits kill people is where I become enraged.

15 minutes to die. Fifteen minutes to slowly suffocate. Tookie Williams had a more merciful death. Someone justify that to me.

Where were all the media warriors that carried signs for Terry? Where was Frist? Where was Dobson? Where was Robertson? Where was Bush?

Fifteen minutes to choke like a lynching.

21. Damn.

Yet I am in no way surprised.

[WinkyDink]

13. He just says words. They are meaningless ways to get through his day.

PERIOD.
Tomorrow he won't remember them.

[KitchenWitch]

14. I am so glad to hear that the unborn are afforded more rights

than I am as a disabled US citizen. :eyes:

[EFerrari]

15. Yeah. People are very valuable until they're born.

After that, they won't get you one thin dime in campaign donations.

This M@THERF#CKER.

[elehhhhna]

16. That makes pregnant disabled women a major priority. Yeah. Okay.

:nuke:

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Like he gives a rat's ass about any of the above!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Pandering POS!

[PWRinNY]

24. That's right

They're such hypocrites - sure - protect the unborn fetus, until the time it's born, and then abandon them just like the rest of us. If only they stopped at abandonment, but oh NO, they go out of their way to make life MISERABLE for those of us who are no longer unborn fetuses. Assholes.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Well after one is born, it's one's responsibility to pull oneself up by

one's bootstraps! Or something like that. :eyes: Anyway, the good life is only for the well connected or republicans. Everyone else can go pound sand.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. They ARE NOT pro-life. They are pro-birth.

If they were pro-life, they would not start wars for oil, and they'd actually give a damn when a city drowns.

:grr::grr:

[agates]

29. Or like in my state

The legislature would care about school funding and medicaid rather than trying, once again, to ban abortion.

DU the poll at www.keloland.com. Scroll down, on the left side.

[Mutley]

26. He's a lovely fellow, isn't he?

:(

[MoonRiver]

30. Truth is, he doesn't care about any of them.

Just more political grandstanding. :puke:

[DanCa]

33. Well if I see him in Feb. I'll call him on it.

Believe you me. I will defy this administration everyday of my disabled life.
