Help with an idea: GOP/SC vs women - Need an Artist.

The actions of the SCOTUS has again made me very angry, to have people's rights stomped on by not just conservative Judges, but Judges that suck Koch balls.

The thing is, many people - especially the younger generation, work best with visuals. To tell a story in seconds. WE MUST get the YOUNG and the WOMEN to vote. I speak to 17~22 year olds who don't know ANYTHING about politics and that it effects their life, their rights and our future.

I can't draw, much less a political cartoon, but I am an IDEA man. Is this the place to post my ideas?
The concept below maybe extreme, but it is nothing compared to what is happening to our rights, especially women!

So here is my cartoon idea concerning the SCOTUS and Hobby Lobby:
1 - Single panel. Color or B&W. rectangle 1920x1080.
2 - Action people moving is left to right.
3 - On right side is a dark shadow of men (3 obvious ones). One has a "Don't Trend~" flag. Another an Elephant and last has a Confederate flag. The word GOP is on their chest (each one). Have smiles (Think: Chester cat from Alice in Wonderland). NO eyes!

4 - Drawing of Scalia, fixing his robe and bare buttocks shown as he's walking towards the GOP group. He is walking away from the Statue of Liberty... Who is in the middle of this drawing. On his butt cheek is a tattoo: "Property of the Kochs"

5 - On a court type bench (Not sitting type) is the Statue of Liberty, she is bent over. Being sexually assaulted by Alito (from behind). Judge Roberts is waiting his turn. Then Kennedy with Thomas bringing up the rear.

( VISUALS per person )

6 - We don't see any part of Lady Liberty's “body” - but bare legs is is okay. She is angled (more font view than side). No penis is shown of any one.
Her face should be a bit sad from her usual expression. A single tear. She has her crown. Her torch is on the ground, its flame is gone... smoke rises. (Death of liberty). Her tablet is to the right, on the ground. Scalia rear foot is on top of it as he walks towards the GOP men - the tablet is cracked from his weight. (Tablet = Nation of Laws, for which these judges have no respect for).
Her own “broken" chains are used to bond her to the bench. She must be barefoot (which means, she is NOT free, but a slave)

(Justices from right to left)
7 – Scalia says to the GOP men “Law and women... You are right, it never gets old!”. (refer to his real quote) (The description above still apply) : he’s expression should be a smirk. A halo is above his head (He considers himself so holy).

8 – Alto = Says nothing, (he’s busy). His facial expression should be a big smile with tongue hanging out.
9 – Roberts = “Condom? Or no Condom this time?” – his usual stone face. Option (An erection poking outward from his robe)
10 – Kennedy = looking down. Says “My Viagra hasn’t kicked in yet...”
11 – Thomas = Says NOTHING (as usual), but thinking “Palm Springs with the Kochs on the 4th, bring my knee pads and sparklers.” (It’s a few days before the 4th of July) He is very close to the Koch brothers in real life.

(Final touches)

12 – The date of June 30, 2014 somewhere. A Hobby Lobby sign somewhere, on a wall or person.
13 – I think the Date should be the TITLE of this drawing.
14 - Each Judge should have a name-tag (For those who don't know who they are, specifically)
15 - Use GOTP instead of GOP? (Great Old Tea Party)
16 - Adjustments are allowed to convey the thought better. I'm trying to state that the GOP went first, raping America. I'm not happy with my quote for Scalia, I'm open to improving it. I want to reference one of his many quotes putting women down, while being part of the GOP.

I can picture this IN MY MIND… but I am not an artist.
I am sick of this court and the GOP taking away the rights of women. ITS WRONG, period.

We NEED to SHOCK people… then share this drawing on Twitter, fb and more. This is how I feel that the SCOTUS is doing to us as Americans and of course to the women. It is not to glorify rape… but to show what THEY are doing to women, looking down on them, re-victimizing them. It should be disturbing, but it doesn't compare to what THEY are doing to us.

An optional version of this cartoon is a list of actions the GOP and SC has done to women.

Who can draw this?

Sorry if it seems too much. I guess its more like something Hustler would publish.

But I think its a way to make people, who know nothing. THINK, why do some people feel that the SCOTUS has just screwed America?

The Statue of Liberty is one of our most important symbols of freedom. It was a gift to the USA, that started 1870 after the Civil war. A symbol of peace and freedom, and I think it was also a symbol to women who did not have right to vote. Only some instances for short periods of time where Women allowed to vote in the USA in the 1800s. New Zealand was the first independent country (surviving today) that gave women the right to vote in 1893. Australia in 1915 (whole country), as well as Norway and Denmark.

American women won the vote August 26, 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

And if you THINK that can't be taken away, look no further than a Woman's right to an abortion. In many states, it is almost impossible to get an abortion because of STATE laws made by religious nut-job men. In 1990, there used to be about 2200 clinics for the USA. Today, they are below 600. The Anti-Choice crowd are rejoicing and stepping up their efforts to finish the job. Since 2011, hundreds of new laws in half the states and effectively shut down womens health. Many of these same clinics provided other important services which are needed for a healthy pregnancy or overall health.

In some states, the men in govt. passed laws to REQUIRE vaginal ultra-sound before the abortion is performed. Be it a 12 year old rape victim or a 35 year old woman. Can you imagine, a child who has been through horrible experiences, will have a stranger, who could be male, insert a probe into their body?!

Think about how damn perverted this is, to shove an instrument INTO a woman's vagina for no other reason than to humiliate them!!

When my wife was pregnant, she was high-risk to lose the baby due to past medical operations. So every 2 weeks, she got the vaginal ultra-sound. Its used to check her cervix and see the baby from different angles, make sure he was okay. The clinic had two men who performed this. Both seemed nice, but one of them was either an asshole or simply not that skilled, as he HURT her pretty much every single time. We *DID* complain about that. This is a medical device that is used to ABUSE and HURT women. "You want your abortion, then THERE... feel that?!" I get the feeling that Republicans who came up with this shit were laughing in the meetings to make this law. I *wish* they'd get probed.

If abortions are legal in the USA, then why and how are states enabled to make them illegal? Many of these same assholes shit bricks if any gun-control bills are brought up to keep crazy people from buying guns in Walmart to kill our children.

If states are able to END abortion, control the ability of "certain" people to vote... then how long before women lose more rights? Laws by stupid men, voted in by stupid people.

They are our sisters, our mothers, our wives and OUR DAUGHTERS!

They need our support and we need theirs to remove the GOP/Teabaggers/flat-earthers from govt. offices.

Shock and Awe is needed !! People, especially the younger generation need to talk about this, share it with their friends. Look at the Same Sex marriage movement, one of the things that helped is that straight people have loved ones and friends who need OUR support to fight for their rights. We need their support too. We are American.
