GOP views of what makes life sacred ends when the ob/gyn says, “Okay, one last push!”
I’m going to ask what I think is a perfectly sensible question, right off the bat, to start this conversation.
Why don’t Republicans just put cameras in all our pee holes and get it over with?
It’s becoming painfully clear that we really do live in two completely different countries on this continent. Or maybe it’s just more a case of use living in one country but in two totally different versions of reality. I feel like the conservatives in our country live in some alternate universe from “Back to the Future: Part II.” You know — they live in the universe where Biff still has his Sport’s Almanac*.
While most of us live in a world where 2012 proved how the majority of people don’t actually care about their 1850?s Southern Baptist social agenda they’ve been hell bent on for the last thirty years. But apparently in their version of reality, none of that is the case and they need to get down the business of locking down the nation’s vaginae inventory. Oh, and while they’re at it they might as well keep those pesky, uppity gays from feeling quite so smug and equal and shit.
It’s just creepy at this point, is it not? Congress has been in session this year all of a week, and one of the highest priorities the House GOP has shown thus far has been job creation. No wait. Infrastructure repair. No wait, I remember now: abortion. That’s right, in 2014 the most important thing facing this nation is whether or not we trust a woman with her own vagina. Yesterday an all-male Congressional panel held a hearing on whether or not a woman or small business that purchases health insurance that covers abortions should be denied a tax credit. But hey, at least they provide an exception for rape and incest, or the life of the mother being threatened. Of course this means the IRS — you know, the agency that the conservatives hate the most — would have the power to audit women who claim one of these exceptions.

Can anyone out there explain to me why in this day and age we’re still fighting a culture war in our bedrooms? I happen to think that anyone who finds themselves giving all that large a fuck about who someone else is fucking needs to find themselves a new hobby. That being said, I’d be content to let them stew in their own bigotry were there not so goddamned many of them swimming in the muck and mire of elected office. If there weren’t so many of these backwards, wrong-side-of-history dwelling sociopaths I’d probably not care so much who, behind closed doors, says some nasty, vile or just plain stupid and wrong thing about my LGBT friends. But since they insist on trying to cram their theocratic horseshit down our throats, I think we, the American people who are ready to recognize what century we live in, have an obligation to keep reminding them that the separation of church exists as much to protect us from them, as it does to protect them from being persecuted for their own beliefs.
