694 Anti-Choice Bills In Just 3 Months, Republicans Continue To Attack Women’s Rights

[ismnotwasm]

694! No, no that’s not the number of miles from my house to the wonderfully overpriced world of Disney or even the number of dollars in my sad bank account. The Guttmacher Institute released a report on Thursday that states 694 bills focusing on women’s bodies, how they get pregnant or if she chooses to terminate the pregnancy have been introduced in state legislatures. Just in 2013.

A new report released on Thursday by the Guttmacher Institute takes a comprehensive look at how the War on Women has continued past the election cycle and into 2013. It shows that the new legislatures across the country are still very much dedicated to restricting sex education, availability of medication, and abortion access for women. Indeed, 47 percent of the 694 provisions were directly related to abortion.

You heard that right, 694 times in three months, states have sought to pass unconstitutional pro-life pro-fetus, anti-woman laws.

2. Exercising power over another

Demands that one take responsibility for that use of power.

Authority without responsibility is tyranny.

It is my experience that women in complete control of their bodies tend to make good choices about their bodies. People who make good, informed choices tend to be happier, more empowered people, with happier, more empowered children. It is such a wonderfully virtuous circle. Why would any good person want to break that circle?

Why does anyone listen to or submit to the will of someone who wants to make people smaller?

3. "Authority without responsibility is tyranny."

They have neither.

By the way, welcome!

4. Who said

this is an unproductive legislation session?

They appear to be very busy with anything sex-related. Anything surrounding their wiener, anything their weiner surrounds.

Busy busy.

5. We need a lot more women in congress. *sigh*
