12. It's just simply a non-starter. A NON-NEGOTIABLE. My body is MINE, and MINE ALONE!

And so is YOURS - it's YOURS ALONE. And so are the decisions that affect YOUR body. This is an ABSOLUTE. Case CLOSED. This is NOT open for discussion. This is NOT negotiable. This is an ABSOLUTE! Don't even bother bringing it up! I don't demand control over my husband's body, his ears, his balls, his knees, whatever. I don't demand control over my kids' bodies especially now that they're over 21. I don't demand control over the priest's body in church, or Henry Waxman's body - my Congressman. I don't demand control over Barbara Boxer's body or Dianne Feinstein's, or Jerry Brown's, or Eric Garcetti's or his wife's, or ANYBODY in the Obama family. WHY should ANY of them have the last word over MY body? Heck, even the Pope is backing off of it. Actually said the church should no longer be so obsesses with issues like abortion or homosexuality either, for that matter.

But... perhaps we should change that. I think some of the women in Congress and the Senate, EVERY TIME there's some abortion bill put forward, EVERY DAMN TIME, should tack on amendments dictating, regulating, and restricting what can be done to the scrotum and penis as well. Tit for tat, as it were. That should be automatic. ANY bill that comes up to screw with a woman's right to choose should have amendments PILED ONTO IT that legislate the scrotum. Like - NO you can't get your damn Viagra pills so easily anymore! We're gonna be putting all kinds of religious shit on there to complicate YOU life and mess with YOUR privacy and get in YOUR way, too! And we're gonna be in YOUR proctologists' and urologists' offices too with all our bedroom-busybody legislative agendas, too. As long you're doing this, SO ARE WE!!!!!!!

And if you santorums and cucinellis and perrys and the rest of you keep at it, then maybe we're just going to have to go find Lorena Bobbitt and ask her what we should do next. I think we have to start getting MEAN and NASTY and damn MILITANT. IN THEIR FACES with it.

Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.

And here's something else that makes it pretty damn simple: If you don't believe in abortion - then don't HAVE ONE! Nobody's forcing you!
