To white male conservatives, women are essentially chattel.
Breeding stock. The "weaker" sex.
Too, uh, emotional, to control their own reproductive systems.
So men must control them.
And since the right to a safe abortion takes some of that control away, abortions must be outlawed.
That has been the sole thrust of large segments of the Republican Party for the last 40 years or so.
All those slobbering evangelicals screaming their fool heads off about Roe v. Wade.
They care, oh they care so deeply, about those fetuses.
Doctors are murdered, clinics are bombed, women are terrorized--all for those magic fetuses.
(Of course, once the child is born, unless he or she is white and rich, the good folks over at the GOP couldn't care less about them. Day care, family leave, Head Start, good public schools, health care, subsidized lunches, after school programs? Nah. That's all handouts. That's all socialism.)
Since 99.9% of this vileness comes from the Republican Right, it raises the question asked in the title of this post; "Gee, I guess no Republican woman has ever gotten an abortion, huh?"
And if you believe that, well...
Fortunately, there is a solution and it's really pretty simple: if you are a female, and are against abortion--don't have one.
And if you are male, and against abortion--shut the fuck up. Mind your own goddamn business.
See. Simple.
Don and David. Just two guys from Arizona who tend to get a bit ticked off about all sorts of things. So we've decided we need somewhere to vent -- and we will vent about anything. Mostly politics, but we'll talk about books, music, movies and anything else that strikes our fancy. We're also pretty big Springsteen fans (especially Don) so you're likely to see some videos here.. We hope you will let us know your thoughts about our rants -- but we promise to treat you fairly.
