Women Have A Duty To Die

According to the fundienutzie avangelicals and the Catholic Church women have a duty to die if they get pregnant and their life is threatened by that pregnancy. And they are duty bound to die even if the fetus will not survive. That is what Santorum believes. In his mind you have to make the best of a bad deal even if you are a victim of incest or rape. How long are we going to let such a fool put out this crap before we backlash him every where he goes.

What is worse is that he is against ALL federal programs that will help women feed and clothe their children. And he is part of the same party that will end child labor laws. We need the kids to pick beans I guess.

Where in the H is the outrage, women should be following him and every Republican everywhere they go. And they should be in the face of their supporters as well. We should tea bag them like they did progressives over health care.

he brought a miscarried fetus from one of his wife's pregnancies for his children to hold and cuddle. It makes me sick to even think of it. If he became President, I think I would be wishing for Bush back.

What this fight is finally all about is the criminalization of family planning. The push for personhood exposes them for who they are. Personhood, which is what the fundamentalist and the Church believe, ends almost all forms of birth control. It makes any use or possession of family planning criminal because personhood legally makes any interference or harm to pregnancy equal to murder. If you define a fertilized egg as a full person it changes the legal system almost completely. It unleashes a pandoras box that potentially puts women in jail because of a failed pregnancy.

This belief is NOT in the bible anywhere. It is manufactured dogma going back to the Roman era.

that if I ever got pregnant there's a very good chance that it would kill me. So I guess to him, and others like him, I should just die.
