Will this person ever need an abortion?

[Botany]

Rep. Stupak

[lapislzi]

1. Does he have daughters? A wife?

Granddaughters? Nieces? A woman in his life who might suffer the horror of rape, or the heartbreak of an unplanned or health-threatening pregnancy? I'm sure that woman will have no trouble obtaining a discreet, safe, legal abortion with the best care money can buy.

6. A misstress?

Only then.

10. Hey, he does live on C Street...

I'm just sayin... :shrug:

NGU.

[Sal Minella]

12. And any/all of those women will be smart enough to make sure

this guy never finds out.

Except for the mistress, of course. That one will be a very, very expensive abortion indeed, no doubt.

4. Bingo! From Wiki

While in Washington, DC, Stupak rents a room at the C Street facility of The Family, a Christian organization
which operates the property as a tax-exempt church and a residence for several congressmen and senators.

8. heh heh, tax exempt no more!

The now-infamous C Street house in Washington D.C., owned by a mysterious Christian group called the Family or the Fellowship and home to numerous members of Congress including U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, is no longer tax exempt. The house, which was formerly a convent, has long been listed as a church with the city and was thus exempted from property taxes. That is no longer the case.

9. It's not tax-exempt anymore

The D.C. tax office removed their exemption recently. This was reported on Rachel Maddow's show last night.

The group that owns that building will have to start paying property taxes.

5. It makes my blood boil to have these patronizing, condescending,

wealthy, clueless white MEN telling women, minorities, and the poor what THEY SHOULD DO....


We need badly to thin the ranks of these types in Congress. To do, so, we need the youth to come back to the populist movement, as they did in 2008 to elect Obama. Otherwise, we have no chance against the corporatists. I fear they (the vital youth) are becoming very disillusioned, given the economy, and so many other factors-- and that they may not be there in future elections.
