What is it with conservatives and their unending desire to control women’s lady-parts?

It’s creepy, among other things.

Boy, Republicans really work hard to express every little last bit of hate and oppression they can, don’t they?

At some point I expect a Journalist will ask one of these idiots how you twist forcing your religious beliefs on others as religious freedom. But I am not going to hold my breath.

Freedom of religion = freedom to discriminate.

Did I get that right?

Why do Republicans love discrimination so much?

It’s towards a good cause: encouraging the maximum possible voting age women to vote in November 2016.

Envision if you will, one of the 3 debates between the nominees in the fall of 2016 …

  • This is for both candidates. In 2015 President Obama indicated that if the Republican-controlled House bill to block DCs anti-discrimination law covering employment of women who have abortions were to reach his desk, he’d veto it immediately. If you were to be elected president and a similar bill were to reach your desk, would you veto it, or sign it?

Thank you, House GOP Majority. Keep 'em coming.

How would do these fools think verifiable proof of an abortion would get to an employer? There would likely be a violation of HIPAA … but of course they would see that as an ‘OK’ violation - as long as it was done to support their point of view.

Oh, that’s right, they don’t HAVE any since they are the Property of their Fathers and Husbands.

Actual Christian martyrs would be appalled to see what these people are calling “persecution.”

I’d call it a fair effort, with the merit of being concise, sound-bitey, and bumper sticker-sized.

My take is a bit more wordy. Something like:

Freedom of Religion == the freedom to obey, under penalty of law, the religious insanity imposed upon you by the ruling cabal

It’s what the Founding Fathers intended. I know. Bill O’Reilly was there and suffered actual papercuts during the battle to sign the constitution. I understand it was a brutal fight, and he bears the PTSD scars of it to this day.

Well, I would agree that some of them, for certain. However, quite a number of “actual martyrs” of Christianity were every bit as insane as this, and many quite a bit moreso. It’s from that well of insanity that this insanity springs eternal.

Religious belief is the poison that contaminates spiritual enlightenment. It’s always a good idea to keep the difference between the two in mind. Just my personal observation.

If they can’t make use of them themselves they at least want to be able to run them.

The Rethugs continuing War on Women .

That would be a Scarlet “S.”
