Missouri guv forms "Task Force" on how abortion harms women. WTF?

[Faygo Kid]

This country is collapsing faster by the day. What a sham. How can even a GOP dung like Blunt call this a "Task Force?" Where is the outrage in the Show Me state? I feel it here, and I have visited Missouri once. And the illiterate headline just solidifies the absurdity of this assault on women:

Blunt task force examining abortion affects on women

The Governor's Task Force on the Impact of Abortion on Women convened last week in Blunt's Capitol office without any of the publicity and promotion that usually accompanies groups on gubernatorial missions.

Its members - all opposed to abortion - were recruited not directly by Blunt's staff, but rather by a pair of anti-abortion activists.

"This is a very informal group of good people who believe in advancing the cause of life and believe that we should minimize the impact of abortion on society," Blunt said when asked about his new task force during a Capitol news conference called for a different purpose.

Lest there be any confusion: The effect of abortion is not a wide-open question to Blunt. There's no likelihood, for example, that his new task force will conclude abortion is positive. . .

1. I don't understand why Women get so upset about Men telling them ...

...what to do.
We men don't mind when a Woman tells us what to do.

[BlueIris]

11. Ew.

[BlueJazz]

14. I figured the post (or at least the first sentence) was so Ridiculous,

...that I didn't need the Sarcasm quote. :)

2. Isn't he the one that wanted a database of all women who have had an abortion?

:scared:

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Wow I hadn't heard about that

But it wouldn't surprise me.

He is really awful.

And folks make fun of Kansas. :shrug:

19. my friend's best friend lived and taught in Hannibal for years and

she said you never scheduled teacher conferences on Wednesday because it conflicted with some parent's Klan meetings. Nuff said?

RV, who had family from Missouri, Johnson County to be exact.

3. are you saying

that having an abortion does NOT effect the woman physically, mentally, or emotionally?

[Elspeth]

4. No, but NOT having access to safe and legal abortion produces far worse effects

physically, mentally and emotionally

[Lars39]

5. Is he going to set up a task force to study how vasectomies affect men?

Or Viagra? Thought not. It's all about control.

[gollygee]

6. The assumption is that it effects them only negatively

and that forced pregnancy effects them positively, I imagine.

It seems obvious they aren't going into it with open minds.

[prole_for_peace]

10. it did not affect me in any of those ways.

unless a profound sense of relief is a mental or emotional effect.

[OKNancy]

16. LOL - I agree. A lot of women aren't an emotional

wreck about it. Some are darn happy.

[Richard Steele]

15. Are you saying there's a chance in hell this "task force" is interested in facts?

:rofl:

[mondo joe]

17. I'd suggest this is a matter for healthcare - not politics.

What do you think?

[NashVegas]

7. Propaganda Gathering

for info.

[Solly Mack]

8. to put it bluntly

Fuck Blunt and everyone like him

[Elspeth]

9. Hey, I want a task force on castration. Neuter Republican males, I say!

Their insecurity about their balls is just getting them into massive trouble in the Middle East anyway. Cut'm off and let decent people live in peace.

[BlueIris]

12. Ew. What ugly pigs.

[Wiley50]

13. It's a crime. Governing with a Blunt Object

I'm sure most of us here object

[Whisp]

23. Blunt isn't very nuanced, is he?

the war between the Peni and the Vags rages on. The Peni (like Blunt) have this thing about Vags - they fight like hell to get out of there at birth, then spend the rest of their lives trying not only to get back in, but to take ownership as well. The Vags are always on the defensive to keep their land - squatters are certainly welcome, by invitation only but they refuse to give up their real estate.

20. Use of State Tax funds for a one sided report which will

untimately end up being used as a basis for the argument against Roe V Wade.
Taxation w/o Representation?

[catmandu57]

21. He's pandering to his base

This is all he's got, they've used the same sex marriage amendment in 04 to get the jesus voters fired up and out to the polls. Even they are disillusioned at the incompetence baby blunt has shown, I highly doubt they'll turn out again. Jay Nixon is going to trounce this fool, this just reeks of desperation and flop sweat.

22. "Abort Blunt 2008"

Fine bumper sticker.
