seriously, why must it be made into such a sexist thing?





Edit: Whoa! I thought I added the Sarcasm tag!!! Sorry.

[boston bean]

4. Because those who don't respect a woman's autonomy over their own bodies are

Being sexist. Men an women both. There is a different standard being applied based on sex.

[Orrex]

13. How is it sexist?

I'm sure that the proposed law would have equally prevented both men and women from obtaining abortions after 20 weeks.


It's so obvious!

[Stinky The Clown]

5. Because sexism is at the very CORE of what she was filibustering.

At stake was a WOman's right to choose.

WOman.

[amuse bouche]

6. You are joking

I'm sure of that

[nadinbrzezinski]

[TM99]

21. Well in my defense,

I have been distracted at work all morning by clients and my sister in particular calling me to ask if I had heard the good news!

Hopefully soon my little sister (who ain't that little but always will be to me) will be marrying her soon to be wife.

[Skittles]

23. oh I hear you

believe me, I know how it goes; I just like kicking ass

[Myrina]

7. Hmm. I was expecting to see vid of the late Senator Byrd filibustering the Iraq War funding ....

Guess I've been around here too long.

[rainy]

12. I cried over watching Robert Byrd filibuster the war.

I cried over all of his speeches. He was a shining light in a very dark time.

[RudynJack]

Harry Reid filibustered for 9 hours.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

Small enough to fit in a vagina, apparently...

[Tom Ripley]

28. Strom Thurmond holds the record at 24 hours 18 minutes filibustering against the Civil Rights Act...

in 1957.
No surprise there. Crazy ass cracker.

[angrychair]

29. Don't forget...

while during the same time frame he was taking advantage of the black help and then spent the next 40+ years pretending the child that resulted from those actions didn't exist. He was a complete asshat of the highest order.

37. The last time a man filibustered for 10+ hours,

it was to stand up for the American War Machine. It was Rand Paul filibustering the confirmation of the CIA director. Ha.
