Oh gawd, they have O'Donnell people campaigning outside the local Planned Parenthood
I about puked.

Normally I don't take that way into work but I was running a few minutes behind and was taking a short cut to work and ended up on the street that goes past Planned Parenthood in downtown Wilmington. Mind you, that Planned Parenthood is one of the few places where the women of Wilmington can get affordable healthcare and birth control. And there is a giant truck covered with O'Donnell stickers along with campaigners and pro-lifers.

Does O'Donnell realize that abortion services for that planned parenthood run less than 1% of the overall service that office provides. Does she and her supporters think she'll gain support by standing outside and harassing people.

It's bad enough she wants to repeal Obama's health care plan including programs that can help low income families but to attack Planned Parenthood is just wrong.

4. So you think the news trucks will come down from Philly to cover it?
We get our local news out of Philadelphia.

And the News Journal paper can't stand O'Donnell.

5. Many right wing fundies oppose birth control too, not just abortion
Several years ago socializing with some neighbors that I didn't realize were fundies, I was shocked to discover that they demonize Margaret Sanger for empowering women because they believe women should not try to interfere with God's plans for promoting life. I told them I couldn't believe they thought women should have no control whatsoever over their own reproduction. Even Sarah Palin has made remarks favoring sex education and birth control.

6. media loves the Democratic men aren't man enough angle
but why isn't anyone asking if these Republican women women enough? These Republican women candidates don't respect a woman's right to chose what happen to their body. If that doesn't creep you out they are running to remove Obama's policies like equal pay for women! These women don't believe they should be paid the same as a male Senator. Think about it.

7. Female R candidates don't "respect" a woman's right to chose!?
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 10:15 AM by DaveinJapan
WTF are you talking about!?

They want to downright criminalize it!

Respect is totally off the table for these whackjobs. Don't you see that!?

Let a rape victim give birth to the rapist's kid??? Sure! No problem!

Fuck respect, they are looking for outright female servitude in service to their government (or male master, whichever is convenient), plain and simple.

And these are the FEMALE "R's" we're talking about!

Why the fuck this doesn't scare EACH AND EVERY woman (men aside for now) in America is beyond me.

EDIT - my reply was a general, all-hands-on-deck rant, and NOT intended to be an attack on the guy I was replying to! Sorry I wrote it as such, that was wrong of me...my "WTF are you talking about!?" is meant in a general sense, and on that point I stand very firm.

9. I doubt she cares at all what the rate of abortion services are.
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 10:32 AM by Jim__
This is a way to try to get votes. That's all that matters to her and hers.
