These freaks can have my IUD when they pull it from my cold, dead uterus!
...So anyone giving odds on that happening to me? 1:3?

You have to admire the fundies’ determination to remain masters of the English language.  Anything they don’t like = abortion. Did you know that Harry Potter books are abortions, and therefore ought to be banned?

`I don’t know what you mean by “glory”,’ Alice said.

`The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master—that’s all.’

The sad thing is that Humpty Dumpty was supposed to be a ridiculous character, not a model for how to run a country.

What does “proposal” mean?  Is it in effect, or is it a proposed regulation?

Heaven forbid we let science dictate what is an abortion.

According to the Planned Parenthood action e-mail I received this morning, the proposal would allow federal funding to go to those anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy centers” that try to persuade women with unwanted pregnancies to carry to term, and federally funded Planned Parenthood would not be able to refuse to hire an anti-contraception nurse. Both so wrong!

To write to President Bush, you can use Planned Parenthood’s online form. (They’ve also got a donation link.)

In other news, impeachment is still “off the table.”

One of the big things President Obama is going to have to do is root out the anti-american conspirators who have been seeded throughout the career personnel of the executive branch during the past 8 years. Whee.

the proposal would allow federal funding to go to those anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy centers”

Ah.  That’s the point.  That’s why they’re making this proposal. 

Funneling money to Bush cronies and away from doing anything productive at all.  Supporting his Theo-World Order.

Cutting off funding to PP and sending it to CPC—>works perfectly in a world that accepts abstinence as the best form of birth control.  Such a shame that poor women won’t be able to get pap smears anymore, but ya gotta prioritize.

Hello Gilead!

Oh, and just for an additional filip, given the research that says that eggs fertilized later after ovulation or by sperm that have been hanging around too long before ovulation are less likely to survive and implant, “any other action — that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation” could apply to the rhythm method as well as EC, the pill, or an IUD.

(Assuming, of course, that you buy into the completely false argument that an unimplanted clump of cells is a human being…)

Some medical authorities, like the American Medical Association and the British Medical Association, have defined the term “established pregnancy” as occurring after implantation. Other medical authorities present different definitions. Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, for example…

They’re citing the dictionary.  If that isn’t a sign that they know they’ve got nothing tangible to back up their proposal, but are going for it anyway out of blind, grasping arrogance, I don’t know what is.

If a tree should fall

You might here a motion

Whoa

Though love has a potion

Don’t rock sick

You might wake the cavy

Tock the hick

He might fight the scary

Wack the duck

Don’t mock the boat over

Kick the bust ward

In rail cove

Lock the bits

Sir, I’d like to know where

You got the notion

Don’t cock the boat

Don’t top the boat over

Don’t wreck the boat

Don’t tip the wile crazy

Aaaaa

Yes, I’d like to know

Where you got the potion

Hey, isn’t it time for Amy Sullivan to give another clueless lecture about the need for the Democratic Party to roll over for vicious theocrats to win their votes?

Cheer up, Auguste.  At least two Senators <a href=“http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/07/clinton-and-murray-hell-no.html#disqus_thread”>get it.</i>

Meanwhile, our presumptive Democratic nominee? *crickets*

Bleagh! Preview is our friend.

Cheer up, Auguste.  At least two Dem Senators get it.

Meanwhile, our presumptive Democratic nominee? *crickets*
