What kind of sweet ass shit could we get if we compromised on reproductive rights?

[VMI Dem]

After all, our country was founded on compromise.

1. I laugh mockingly, then I laugh in agreement, then I stop laughing altogether and become concerned.

Point taken.

2. LOL - let's see, if we give up all forms of contraception and outlaw them....hmmmm....

maybe we could get another two weeks of unemployment extensions!

[Demeter]

3. or maybe lethal injection, instead of starvation.

After all, can't let all those harvestable organs go to waste....

[LiberalLoner]

5. So true. Starvation or exposure damages those precious organs! After all, Cheney needs some of

them I've heard. Must think of the billionaires.

[Tesha]

20. "Ethical Suicide Parlors" in re-made Howard Johnson's restaurants? (NT)

[DURHAM D]

4. Dems/Obama have already compromised on reproductive rights.

Remember the Stupak amendment?

What did we get?

15. Remembering the Stupak Amendment

takes more memory than most compulsive amnesiacs here can maintain. So does remembering this:

7. Go Bigger: how about we sacrifice some American blood by invading Iran in exchange

for an 18 month something or another. Think there are any Chickenhawks out there who would want to wheel and deal for that slice of Texas Tea. Imagine the bargains that might be achieved by putting Bomb-bomb-bomb Iran on the table.

8. Well, you know us D's, we'd complain if you hung us with a new rope...n/t

[RainDog]

9. oh, I dunno, poor women who are forced to bear children b/c they're poor? n/t

[Starry Messenger]

10. Don't give them any more ideas. {shudder}

HCR debate here over the Stupak amendment already tore the lid off the ugly sentiment about reproductions rights. There are several people who think it's a woman's lot to beg private charity and drive 800 miles to get an abortion if she shamelessly gets herself knocked up.

[VMI Dem]

21. You obviously don't care about whatever we can get for it.

[Starry Messenger]

22. Another war if we're lucky!

Just think of the possibilities!

[Rectangle]

11. Hey, Obama and the Reptilians could undo Slavery, and womens right to vote while we're

at it!! Huh??
Wow let's comprimise!!
Why stop at just Taxes???????

[LiberalLoner]

16. The right-wingers are actually already working on that, they have those as

talking points. Ann Coulter said the D's would never win again if we took the vote away from women, the tea party guy said only landowners (male and white, we assume) should vote, and there has been a lot of talk about how some people are "just born to be slaves."

Odious. And I honestly would not be too surprised to see those things signed into law in the next decade or two. Things are getting mighty crazy in our country if you ask me.

[gratuitous]

12. Nuclear waste facilities in all 50 states?

"Temporary" holiday for enforcement of labor laws? Free DVDs for every citizen featuring Alan Simpson scolding you for being so greedy (certain citizens will be exempt, naturally)? That's a toughie.

[gratuitous]

13. Dang. Dupe

Disregard stutterpost.

[Jamastiene]

14. The Republicans might let us have a gallon of gas...

to split between everyone in the whole country. They are not exactly the most generous people in the world.

Compromise, pfft. Compromise means getting a little something in return.

Obama needs at least a T-shirt out of this deal, "I gave the Republicans' rich buddies billions of dollars and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

[LiberalLoner]

17. Awesome idea - if we sent one to the White House do you think he'd see it? n/t

[The Doctor.]

18. Nothing.

Republicans don't actually want to ever breach that issue. It would take red meat from their pantry and feed it to their constituents. Then, their constituents would feel sated, and they'd have less to whip them up with.

[walldude]

19. Maybe we could get DADT half repealed...

Maybe we could ask but not tell.
