Congress prepares to debate the "Let Women Die" Act...

[elehhhhna]

...

The bill has been lovingly nicknamed the "Let Women Die" act, as it would allow hospitals that receive federal funds but are opposed to abortions turn a woman seeking an abortion away in all circumstances, even if an abortion would save her life. It also proposes to outlaw any federal funds from going to health plans that cover any abortion services. Finally, it would make it impossible to block federal funds from going to health organizations that don't support abortion rights, hence the hospitals' freedom to "Protect Life" by refusing to perform a procedure that might save a woman's life. HR 358 was penned Joe Pitts, a Pennsylvania Republican and a vocal member of the House's Pro-Life Caucus. For those of you keeping score at home, Joe Pitts does not have a uterus.

Any woman, and I mean ANY woman, that votes for the republican party needs their head examined...

6. I'll expand on your last line

Not just any woman, but anyone who knows a woman or was birthed by a woman who votes for the Republican party needs to have his or her head examined. The Republican Party: Caring more about fertilized eggs than actual human beings since 1973!

8. From the fourteen points of fascism...

5. Rampant sexism

Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.


Yup

9. Mr. Pitts is a pig.

I get so sick of these slimy little fucks who go around on their high horses about how pro life they are but don't give a shit about human life once it has been born - especially poor and/or female human life.
