Abortion Bill
I've been trying for some time to come up with the energy to do a post on the horrendously stupid and insulting (and unconstitutional) abortion bill that's in both the House and the Senate right now.  (HB1831/SB1058).  Rather than doing a summary myself, I've found a pretty good summary of the legislation and its impact here.  It's worth checking out the NARAL legal analysis as well if you're interested in some of the technical aspects and their implications as well.

The Reader's Digest version is this:  Some Missouri lawmakers think that women (esp. pregnant women, with all those hormones flying around, ONOZ!) are incompetent to make decisions, and shouldn't be allowed to make them if they've ever had a conversation with anyone that involved the word "abortion."  *rolls eyes*

Really, if you don't read anything else on here, read this.  Many of us take our rights for granted.  At very least, be aware that people are actively trying to take them away.

tangent: My father and I actually got into an argument last night over McCaine. Apparently, it's not politically conscionable to believe that a fundamental basis for a good political candidate is somebody who believes that 51% of the population is equal.

?

back on point:
Where do these people get off? SERIOUSLY?

I just can't believe that anyone thinks thought-crimes are good ideas.

Oh, wait.

THEY DID IN 1984, DIDN'T THEY.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA, WHAT?

...

The fever, it makes me loopy.

I'm so proud you're out there fighting this bs, girlfriend! ♥

er...I mean the BOOK 1984. Not the year. Um. Possibly that isn't clear?

Well, you'll be happy to know I called Aunt Norma Champion and yelled at her about this bill. (I doubt it will do much good, given her district, but I'm still hoping.)

Hahaha! Awesome. Oh Norma Champion. *rolls eyes* Even if you don't think you'll change their minds, they still need to hear it, esp. from constituents. After all, they tend to sermonize us all the time, so it's only fair ;-)
