Virginia Foxx’s latest: defund medical schools that teach abortion prodecures
May 27th, 2011 by John Grooms


Noted North Carolina half-wit (and U.S. 5th District congresswoman) Virginia Foxx has jumped to the top of the pile of GOP lawmakers who’ve been competing to claim the mantle of Most Opposed to Abortion. Outdoing her colleagues, Foxx sponsored an amendment, which passed this week, taking away all federal funds for any medical schools that teach students how to perform abortions. Luckily, Foxx’s amendment is tacked onto the bill to repeal health care reform, which is slated to pass as soon as I win the Powerball lottery.

Foxx gained national fame, or notoriety, during the health care reform debates when she said one of the results of reform would be that Americans could be “put to death by their government,” and that health care reform was more dangerous to the American people than terrorism. With all the new Tea Partiers joining her in Congress, perhaps, as the BlueNC site put it, Foxx is worried she’s losing her spot as the dimmest bulb in Congress. This latest venture ought to seal the deal for her, although there’s still a chance Louie Gohmert of Texas or Steve King of Iowa could launch comebacks.

Next up from the GOP? A bill to ban the word “abortion” from the dictionary; a ban on all medical procedures beginning with the letter A; and defunding of all federal roads that lead to, or go by, any clinics or hospitals where abortions are performed.

1. Old Bat, you need to fucking retire immediately

and get out of other people's lives!

[mzteris]

2. doesn't the stupid woman know anything

about medical procedures? How about those "abortion procedures" that are necessary after an incomplete spontaneous abortion (commonly called miscarriage).

[Gman]

3. And DOWN the stretch they come...!

racing to the finish line to be the biggest idiot

[Faygo Kid]

4. Well, I sure am glad Virginia Foxx wishes to determine medical schools' curriculum

Next: Sarah Palin teaches physics.

5. That would probably mean all of them.

6. This cow really is the dimmest bulb in Congress

They only people who are dimmer than she is are those who put her in office. People who are responsible for putting her in Congress make me afraid for this country. It's time the swamp donkey is retired.

13. "This cow really is the dimmest bulb in Congress"

And that's saying something, given the high level of competition.

7. Yow, this woman is FUCKED UP.

Natural selection probably favored her ancestors... They were probably the Fugg-owiee tribe.... their battle cry- "We're the fugg-owiee???"

8. Umm, isn't it also a procedure used for reasons other than abortion?

It's less commonly used for abortion because non-invasive procedures have developed over the years. D&C and D&E are still used for diagnostic purposes and in instances of miscarriages. My mom had 2 D&Cs when I was a child because of unexplained bleeding. I had one after a miscarriage. The Doc explained to me that leaving dead fetal tissue in the uterus could result in a severe infection. However, I guess women's lives are unimportant to women like Foxx.

9. You wouldn't want a doctor knowing a technique

That could save women's lives.

Here's a voucher so you can get care from the voodoo doctor down the street. Sacrificing a chicken on your behalf is clearly a good way to spend my tax money.

[Vinca]

10. That woman could scare the eggs right out of ya.

The ignorance of the GOP is mind boggling.

[southernyankeebelle]

11. OMFG she is one ugly, ugly mother fer.

[tammywammy]

12. Fuck that. Abortion is a legal procedure.

She can go fuck herself. She's disgusting.

[classysassy]

14. "The lady is a tramp"

she's no lady,old hag.
