Well…to all of the people who said that our alarm that the destruction of Roe was not warranted…I say F-you…everyone who cares at all about women’s rights was screaming that letting the states decide would mean that many states would let women die for pregnancy complications that could be safely dealt with when abortion was legal…and now Idaho, or the repub men of Idaho, have codified that in the state constitution as they made sure there was no exemption to save the life of the mother if complications arose…so, if a women has an ectopic pregnancy? Tough shit woman…you die…if you have an incomplete miscarriage?Tough shit, you are sentenced to death by bleeding out when the simple DandC would have saved your life….and this new christofascist cult just doesn’t care at all….and this crap is already happening in Texas when a woman was left to die with a failed pregnancy since Texas has made any and all reproductive health care illegal and doctors can do nothing but sit and watch their patients die…pro life, my ass…when will the women of this country rise up and throw these assholes out? I’ll be there when they do….geez…

Now they care about kids?
Well…was just reading an article about the repub governor of Idaho and their futile efforts to overturn the court decision that said that the 14th amendment protects gay people and allows them to get married…and their primary argument (that they are still making despite numerous studies debunking their claims) is that children fare better when they are raised in heterosexual families. Since when have the repubs given a damn about kids? Not when they cut children’s health programs….not when they cut back on food stamps that help feed them…not when they oppose raising the minimum wage that would help their parents send them to school with a good breakfast….and not when they oppose everything that would give workers a voice and higher pay that would take the economic uncertainty away that causes so much stress in both parents and kids….this is just religious nonsense cloaked in fake caring for children that they have used for years to deny gays their rights…if they cared so damn much, they would have used the half million dollars they have spent on these suits to fund a school lunch program or health care for kids…but they don’t…geez…
This is how far the republicans are willing to go…
Well…I think I will have to keep reading the twitter feeds…lots of good topics to write about…and this last one for the day is about a woman in Idaho who went online and bought RU-486 to perform her own abortion since the repubs have driven all of the abortion providers out of Idaho with their draconian laws….well, the repub prosecutor there charged this woman with a crime for this act of taking control of her own body….and doing something that would have been legal if she would have taken the pills after driving across the border into Washington…this is the America you have to look forward to if you keep electing these idiots, and especially if you elect Romney…geez…
