[TW: rape and incest] Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this … I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.
Chuck Winder, Idaho state senator, suggests women use rape as an excuse for abortion right before the Idaho Senate passed a bill which requires women to have an ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion. The bill makes no exception for victims of rape, incest, or medical emergencies. (via rcabbasi)
Women just love lying about a rape, don’t they?

I’m seriously beginning to suspect that Republicans don’t know or understand that women can actually hear what they are saying - or in this case read it. Or that we do actually vote these days.(via kungfucarrie)
I’m actually convinced Republicans just think women are stupid and cannot understand what they are saying. That, or they just really fucking hate women. I’m thinking its the latter.

I hope Rick Santorum gives Mitt Romney his heart for Christmas, and the very next day he gives it away.
This may be the greatest sentence ever constructed.

My new favorite politician. Oklahoma Senator Judy Eason McIntyre holds a sign at a pro-choice rally yesterday that reads, “If I wanted the government in my womb, I’d fuck a Senator.” (It’s too bad, though, that the mainstream press seems focused on this particular sign rather than the fact that so many people came out to protest the awful personhood bill.
Can we please clone this woman and just have her represent every district? Please?
She’s got my vote.

He [Rick Santorum] is a staunch opponent of abortion, even in the case of rape. Even in the case of rape, telling CNN recently that a woman, in that case, should, and I quote, ‘make the best out of a bad situation, and accept the gift from God.’ Wow. I think women should say the same thing to Santorum, Andy, after from now until the end of his weaselly life, they see him in the street and kick him in the fucking balls. ‘Please accept this gift from God, Rick, this pointed-shoed gift to your plums. Why are you rolling around on the ground crying, Rick? Please make the best out of this bad situation. In fact, rejoice, because I believe another lady is coming over to gift you with another high-velocity nut shot. Praise be, Rick! God is graciously raining gifts into your groinal area, you fucking douche.’

It’s a Biblical principle. If you double a teacher’s pay scale, you’ll attract people who aren’t called to teach. To go in and raise someone’s child for eight hours a day, or many people’s children for eight hours a day, requires a calling. It better be a calling in your life. I know I wouldn’t want to do it, OK? And these teachers that are called to teach, regardless of the pay scale, they would teach. It’s just in them to do. It’s the ability that God give ‘em. And there are also some teachers, it wouldn’t matter how much you would pay them, they would still perform to the same capacity. If you don’t keep that in balance, you’re going to attract people who are not called, who don’t need to be teaching our children. So, everything has a balance.
Alabama State Senator thinks raising teacher pay is against the teachings of the Bible (via desertmar)
Who would have believed an Alabama Republican would have a sensible explanation of why our legislatures suck?
They pay too well, so they attract greedy people who shouldn’t be there.
(via blissandzen)
And this is why the sheer number of teachers I know who vote Republican simply astounds me.

I for one am offended by those who would condemn the Christmas lifestyle. They don’t understand that unlike being gay, loving Christmas is not a choice. I was attracted to Christmas at a very early age. I didn’t totally understand it, but it got me very excited! I remember looking at a present and just aching for it. I saw a gingerbread man and I wanted him in my mouth!
It wasn’t until I moved to New York and saw the Macy’s Pride Parade that I had the courage to throw on my thigh-high candy cane stocking and proudly chant ‘We’re here / we like reindeer / get used to it!’ I just pray for a day when Kringle-Americans feel free to don we now our gay apparel.

If being gay is a choice, show us the proof. Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that’s done, Herman, show us how a man can choose to be gay. Suck my dick, Herman. Name the time and the place and I’ll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the argument.

Mr. Savage isn’t my favorite but this quote is pretty stellar.

Sharon Bialek, on Herman Cain • Bialek is fourth former Restaurant Association Employee to accuse Cain of sexual harassment—and the first to come forward publicly. For now, we’ll treat these accusations as just that—accusations. Also notable: Bialek is being represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who’s previously taken on Tiger Woods and Meg Whitman, amongst many others. source (via • follow)

Rachel Maddow schools Mitt Romney in her man cave on how babies are made and how birth control prevents that because clearly he missed health class thirty years ago, or he’s too busy with the pursuit of his ego to to think about something that affects 51% of the people he “wants” to represent.
Jesus, I love Rachel Maddow.

On Monday, Bachmann didn’t talk a lot about her religion. She didn’t have to—she knows how to signal it in ways that go right over secular heads. In criticizing Obama’s Libya policy, for example, she said, “We are the head and not the tail.” The phrase comes from Deuteronomy 28:13: “The Lord will make you the head and not the tail.” As Rachel Tabachnick has reported, it’s often used in theocratic circles to explain why Christians have an obligation to rule. Indeed, no other candidate in the race is so completely a product of the evangelical right as Bachmann; she could easily become the Christian conservative alternative to the comparatively moderate Mormon Mitt Romney. “Michele Bachmann’s a complete package,” says Ralph Reed, the former Christian Coalition wunderkind who now runs the Faith and Freedom Coalition. “She’s got charisma, she’s got an authentic faith testimony, she’s a proven fighter for conservative values, and she’s well known.

Minorities earn less than white people because they don’t work as hard and have less initiative. We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them.

Once upon a time, someone thought that the civil rights movement managed to get rid of blatant racism from our governments. Clearly they were wrong. I find it interesting how the world is ‘apparently’ getting more progressive, and yet the so-called free world is suddenly full of prominent people who seem to believe that they’re living in 1321 and thus can get away with blatant examples of racism and homophobia.
Let me give you a number of examples;
- Yesterday Donald Trump referred to the Chinese people as a people that is ‘ripping off our country [i.e. the US]’ and that ‘China is taking our jobs’. In my world statements like these reek of racism.
- 5,6% of everyone who voted in the last Swedish election supported a party that has outspoken racist policies.
- The French government has banned the use of veils, thereby making Islamophobia state law.
- 20.1% of the Finns supported a racist party in the recent elections.
- The new Hungarian constitution made it impossible for gay people to marry, and furthermore states that sexism and ageism don’t constitute real forms of discrimination.
