"What if the baby you abort could have cured cancer?"

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:52:34 -0600

"What if the baby you abort could have cured cancer?":

jenerally:

What if the trans* person beaten to death could have cured cancer?

What if the gay teen who committed suicide from bullying could have cured cancer?

What if that young girl sold into the sex trade and died from untreated STIs could have cured cancer?

What if one of those hundreds of thousands of civilians that have been killed in the war could have cured cancer?

What if that African-Canadian woman who was raped and later died from internal complications could have cured cancer?

What if all the people on the planet who can’t afford to go to post-secondary education, and will live and die in poverty could have cured cancer?

THANK YOU.

As a Capricorn, I’m resisting the urge to get all grammar-nazi up in here. Instead, I’m going to take a deep breath and concentrate on this very important message.

Herman Cain on Abortion: No Exceptions for Rape, Incest (by TheYoungTurks)

Anyone who thinks Herman Cain is a “likable” guy, just watch this shit. This kind of stuff makes me sick.

I love their commentary and how they addressed this.

That being said, stay the FUCK out of my uterus, Herman Cain.

Right there with you, sister.

wearethe99percent:

I am 25 years old.

Very lucky to have a college degree and no debt.

But my career is in progressive politics — working for labor unions, campaigns and nonprofits — and I can’t afford to make ends meet in a Big City, on the $30,000 average salaries these jobs pay. Now I’m 1000s in credit card debt.

How can young people like me change the world, stand up for what we believe in, and still get ahead?

I am the 99%. #occupywallstreet

I hate this comment. I hate it because it’s condescending. I hate it because it’s dismissive. I hate it because it’s an attempt at control. Mostly I hate it because it puts me in a corner. If I don’t “calm down”, I’m a batshit feminazi. If I do “calm down”, I’m a doormat. The former makes people stop listening. The latter makes me stop talking.

heroes-and-cons:

Hickory smoked lady and I know that if we give your daughters and granddaughters access to birth control, they will instantly turn into wanton harlots with an insatiable sexual appetite. Because you know women, they’re always on the edge of nymphomaniacal, orgiastic abandon. They’ll pick up the prescription, pop a pill, then bone the pharmacist, the stockboy, and everybody in line for the bus. Why? Because the birth control was paid for by the government.

“One of the great things about our nation is that we are each entitled to have strong personal beliefs, and we encourage other people to do the same. But as a nation, we recognize the right of all people to believe as they want and not to impose our beliefs on other people. I believe that abortion should be “safe and legal” in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it. And I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice. And my personal beliefs, like the personal beliefs of other people, should not be brought into a political campaign. “

- Mitt Romney, 1994

No, really. I'm asking.

How do you stay vocal without alienating the people around you? I’m a feminist and an activist. My impending debt and my future career(s) are a result of that and I wouldn’t have it any other way. As frustrated and angry I get about a, b, or c cause, I am equally encouraged and driven by the humanity and compassion people show in the darkest of times. Yes, I’m angry, but more than that I have a sense of urgency about things. Because I care, because I know things matter and they matter NOW, I often come off as The Angry Feminist. I don’t want that. That’s not the part of me I want to share with people. I want to share my enthusiasm for the good in people, for quality of life, and for hope and for change and for real freedom. I believe in those things with every fiber of my being and I believe they are attainable. Apart from putting that on a t-shirt, I’m at a loss. How do you stay engaged and engaging?

It's about the having of the sex.

This is what I’ve been saying! The conservatives don’t give two shits about their own moral behavior, they only care about YOUR moral behavior. Taking care of people is irrelevant when we have the obligation to punish all those Godless fiends who have the sex that makes the baby Jesus cry. It’s not the Republicans, it’s GOD’S WRATH that leaves STI’s untreated and forces women into motherhood or cancer or poverty. STI’s? More like STI-told-ya-so’s. Hey-oh!! Am I right, gentlemen?? Let’s legislate for Jesus!

This guy isn’t my representative, but he definitely represents me. In fact, he is more representative of me, of people I know and of people I don’t know but listen to and respect than any politician I’ve been subjected to since this episode of the abortion debate began. More, please.

Agreed. I have seen it before but I will re-post it again (there’s a link to a transcript at that earlier post).

Thanks for submitting it!

So jealous of New York. I love this guy.

I fucking hate how women are accused of being overly emotional as if being emotional is some kind of weakness. What Veena Malik showed was pure power. It’s easy to spout off religious shoulda-woulda’s when you don’t feel anything. It’s obvious she was hurt by everything they said. Not just hurt, enraged by, and she didn’t back down. She came at them with emotion, reason and objectivity. No wonder women are taught to hide their strength. If I were a zealous tool, I’d be scared too. Women are fucking powerful and Ms. Malik makes me proud to be a woman.
