Dear GOP and Religious Right:

[babylonsister]

Dear GOP and Religious Right:

I AM WOMAN -- When it comes to your Conservative War on Women, all rational and freedom loving individuals, no matter what gender, stand strong in opposition to your oppressive and theocratic efforts.

Have you lost your mind!? Does your hate for this President, his policies, or his ethnicity blind you so much? Have you become so comfortable in assuming that the majority of Americans are complacent to the point where we would allow you to continue waging a one-sided cultural war?

DO NOT underestimate us. When you propose to limit a woman's freedom then you propose to limit everyone's freedom. And we will not allow that under any religious or political banner.

--VeracityStew.com

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong
I am invincible
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

1. Ah yes.. Those lyrics resonate anew. Hello to the new generations

of women who have lived their whole lives post Roe v Wade. . .for whom the pill was always there.. This is the fight we fought for you way back then. Now we need you to mount the barricades for YOUR daughters.

2. they are the party of men. men who rule women.

they shame my gender.

[gratuitous]

3. The GOP can do nothing else

They have welded their future to the nutballs, and they cannot, dare not, change their tune now. Even Fox News is feeling the heat from the Nitwit Brigade for being too liberal. We all know these zealots are on a course for oblivion (both politically and literally), and they are blowing past warning signs, pushing full throttle, convinced that they are nearing their destination. They are, but they're not going where they think they're going.

The question is really to be addressed to GOP women and the men who love them: Is this what you want? Is this really your goal in life? Are you so beholden to a political position that you will destroy yourselves and those you love? You can jump off. It's not too late, even yet. But it soon will be.

4. Dear religious right: go fuck yourselves. Or is that forbidden?

5. Attention Ladies

It does not matter what you want ladies. The GOP Chastity Gestapo will drag you kicking and screaming to jail if you protest.
What part of STFU do you not understand coming from the GOP and religious right. In their eyes questioning their policy agenda is unAmerican, unpatriotic and treason against the "fatherland". It is also a war on religion.

Their Stalinist code is all over this agenda. They are counting on the gamble that you will not fight back. They will steal the election and proceed forward. You are facing a REAL war on women and the are SERIOUS about pursuing it to the bitter end. The blitzkrieg is just the first salvo.

6. it feels like we're back in the 1800's

not even the 1900's the way these nutters act.

There was a time I would not believe the GOP was so desperate to get or keep power that they would sink to the lowest of the low in society.

extremists have always been shunned by power and society, in general. the middle is where humans progress and evolve. granted being a liberal i feel humans evolve faster on the left, and devolve on the right, but this....

What they're doing now is unthinkable, had hard for me to grasp they're seriously trying to do.

what worries me more... is with how spineless the Dems in power are, they might pull it off!

7. forcing women into gender segregated roles

calling for investigations of miscarriages -

using for-profit prisons to incarcerate more people than any other nation in the world - 25% of the world's prison population, 5% of the world's population.

yeah, this is like the 1800s - or the 1900s - forced labor based upon trumped up claims and laws passed by racists and misogynists.

8. I can't tell how much is agreement or snark... but it does worry me

that so much going on NOW is like it was back then

all we need is segregation and the reversion would be complete =[

9. Didn't we have to deal with this bullshit some 40 years ago?

I've already got that t-shirt, thank you very much. Didn't think I'd ever have to make the same damn arguments all over again as an old person.

11. Almost Exactly what my mom said tonight

And she'll be 82 this year. She sighed and noted the difference now being the amount of coverage given to the crazies due to the proliferation of media formats. She concluded that in the past, there were editors who would never even allow a fraction of this insane crap to be legitimized as the norm.

10. I've always loved that song. My, those were heady days.

It was an exciting time to be a woman,hope to see it again for those younger women who missed it the first time around. Edited to add it was actually the 2nd time around.
