An all-male panel of House lawmakers considered a bill on Thursday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy across the United States, without exceptions for rape, incest or health of the mother.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, led by the bill's sponsor, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), has no female members.

1. And that's our House of Reps for you

They wonder why their approval rating is so low.

[cprise]

34. That's Gerrymandering for you. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

2. But that's how Republicans think gawd wants it to be. Big strong males

get to decide everything.

Days of the Theocracy
(Kristin Lems)
July 15, 2007
words/ music Kristin Lems c 2007 Kleine Ding Music (BMI)

1. First they fight abortion, birth control is next,
Then comes sex if you’re not married, finally, out goes sex!
Put the prayers back in the schools, install "parochiaid,"
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!

Chorus:

We’re going back, back to the good ole days
When men were really men and women knew their place
Back, back a couple of centuries
And welcome back the days of the theocracy

2. The family is so holy, there must be no divorce
And if a wife is not content, she must adjust, of course
And if he’s forced to beat her, it’s all for her own good
She must know what her limits are, as any woman should.

(chorus)

3. The next to go is daycare, it’s all a commie plot!
What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not?
A woman’s world is housework, God wanted it that way
A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay

(chorus)

4. They teach us women’s lot is "love honor and obey"
And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today,
They’re sitting in the Capitol, they’re voting on our lives
If we don’t stop them now, our freedom will not long survive!

No going back..to the bad ole days...

(chorus)

let's go ahead, ahead for future centuries,
And build a world that’s based on true democracy
And build a world that’s based on true equality ~ Ah – person!

12. Slightly off subject , but thanks for posting these lyrics.I went to high school with Kristen

and her mom was my professor for a course in African music; one of the most interesting college courses I ever took. Gonna have to get on you tube and see if I can hear this besides just seeing these great lyrics. She really nails it.

[niyad]

13. I am thrilled for you. knowing this amazingly talented woman, and her mother, as well.

I met kristin a couple of times at different events where she performed--a talented, charming woman.

[abq e streeter]

14. I wish I could say I know, as opposed to knew, her.A high school acquaintance is all.

But we did know each other, and the college course was...jeez, I don't even want to think about how many years ago that was,lol. I became aware several years ago that we had both become musicians, but have had no contact with her in decades.It would be a privilege to see her perform though, and I do think she'd remember me. I suppose she probably has a website, and I'll have to check it and see if she ever will be performing near me. Thank you again for posting those awesome lyrics.

5. letter to members (oh, what an appropriate word) of the committee:

Dear Pricks (oops, I mean, representatives)

I have but one question for you. WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN? Seriously, trying to understand this, because that is the ONLY explanation for what all these restrictive laws are about. WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN? Women gave birth to each one of you--some of you have sisters who are women, wives who are women--WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN?

[sheshe2]

16. You are right, niyad Why do they Hate WOMEN!

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) fired back, "I hope, as my colleagues express such concern for fetuses today, that they will also show concern for women's health."

Love the fetus, then abandon the child. Children can starve for all they care. They will never get it not ever.

They love the fetus so much, maybe just maybe, they should consider the Women that are bearing them! If the asshats considered how much harm they are doing to the fetus when they deny proper health care for Women.

It's a woman's right to chose not theirs!

[niyad]

19. mrs. betty bowers (america's best christian) explains abortion to everyone else

I think every single member of that committee--and every legislator, state and federal, who wants to eliminate women's rights, should watch this.

[freshwest]

21. +1. They love the mayhem they create in the lives of those they don't know or care about.

They have become like the kings of old, declaring life and death on a whim.

[MadrasT]

6. Not this shit again.

Same shit different day.

7. And they wonder why....

Women are fleeing the GOP.

8. Arizona's 20 week ban was just declared unconstitutional.

Fucking morons.

9. All Woman Panel Considers House Bill To Restrict Mens NFL Rights

An all-female panel of House lawmakers considered a bill on Thursday that would restrict NFL games shown on television to only one football game on Sunday a week and everyone nationwide would only get to watch Detroit Lions games.


turnabout is fair play

[wryter2000]

10. Or...

All Female Panel Votes to Ban Viagra

[ZombieHorde]

37. That is much more generious than what I would do.

All NFL shows and memorabilia should be banned. Anyone who discusses the NFL should be arrested for starting a really boring conversation.

[smirkymonkey]

42. +10.000

LOL!

11. Disgusting enough that millions of men vote for republicans...but millions of women too

Mind boggling.
Edited to say republicans , not the good guys like Nadler.

[smirkymonkey]

15. F That! Total Bullshit!

Male legislators should have absolutely no say on this issue. I cannot believe this is happening.

They have no right to determine our reproductive rights. They just need to butt out permanently. Why can't we stop them?

[sheshe2]

17. Kicked and Recommending!

For WOMEN!

[Jasana]

20. Simply outrageous.

Republicans reaching out to women voters. What a joke.

46. I love Snark, and that's it!

[Dwayne Hicks]

22. Sickening!

Thankfully this will be DOA in the senate and will be vetoed if it somehow made it past them. Let the republicans keep trying to turn back the clock. They will fade further into obscurity as the country moves forward.

[FiveGoodMen]

25. "They will fade further into obscurity as the country moves forward"

Wonderful thought.

No evidence to support either half of it so far...

[RKP5637]

28. They can't fade fast enough into obscurity for me. I really hate the F'ers. n/t

[Boomerproud]

29. You are much more optimistic than I am, Sir.

It keeps happening over and over again with no consequences for these power-mad idiots.

[Beacool]

23. Typical RW mentality, always obsessed with women's reproductive rights.

I suggest that the men who are against this procedure even in the case of rape, incest or when the health of the mother is in danger, should be forced to carry a papaya up their backsides for 9 months and see how they feel about it.

[RKP5637]

27. They are always obsessed with sex, what's between the legs and

breasts. Always the SOS. Religion is the same, dominate authoritative males ruling the flocks.

[DainBramaged]

24. Why don't they form a committee to help the mothers after children are born?

[SunSeeker]

44. It's only innocent precious life while it's a fetus.

Once born, it's a sniveling little welfare cheat like it's mom. The baby needs to pull itself up by its bootie straps!

[RKP5637]

26. Male prima donnas all. n/t

30. I'm at a loss - I'm wanting to call these guys fucking pigs

But that would be insulting to fucking pigs.

[blkmusclmachine]

32. Wanna-Be Theocrats.

The GOP Wants to Convert the Good Old US of A to Another Afghanistan. Guess Who the Warlords Would Be?

[alp227]

33. Well, there are plenty of women in Congress willing to side with the patriarchy.

like Michele Bachmann and Marsha Blackburn.

[TheDebbieDee]

35. I seriously suspect that Cong Trent Franks is an abortion survivor.......

and thus, his STRONG opposition to abortion.

[SomethingFishy]

36. Welcome to the USA...

Men decide on womens issues. The rich decide on poor issues. The people with free government insurance decide for the people without. The people who nearly destroyed the economy are brought on board to fix it. Congress decides to buy tanks that no Army needs.

We are on a runaway train. All you can do is hold on.

[BenzoDia]

38. Hopefully America stays aware of how disturbed Republicans are.

40. There you have it

[hopemountain]

41. gaaahhhhh!

fucking misogynist idiots...the curse be with them.

[SunSeeker]

43. Because they're all about Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

[IrishAyes]

45. Of course they wouldn't want women on their panel!

We might wind up beating the crap out of the whole lot.
