Eight Men (NO WOMEN) Consider House Bill To Restrict Women's Reproductive Rights

Follow @demunderground

[RockaFowler]

1. Brilliant as usual!

[Arkansas Granny]

2. No kidding!

[SunSeeker]

3. Easy to ban abortion when you don't ovulate...

Just like it's easy for them to vote for war when none of their kids will be serving.

[SharonAnn]

38. If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. (Satisfying the Xtian R-W needs).

[xtraxritical]

4. The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, makes committee assignments

and the more he pisses us off the more his base likes it. Politics is behind the reasoning, not sensibleness.

[Initech]

5. We are going backwards at an alarming rate.

[CrispyQ]

29. +1

For all the time it took us to get us where we are (were), it will take significantly less time, to take us back.



It boggles my mind, that I am one of the most fortunate human beings to ever have lived on this planet.

[DeadLetterOffice]

31. +1000 n/t

[Blue Owl]

6. As it stands, the Shlub Committee

n/t

[ErikJ]

7. Looks similar to Iran

Their mullah regime

[lark]

8. Both of these groups are very similar

Rich men who only want to control women and who don't really see women as thinking beings, with any rights, just a means to create more workers (USA) or religious followers (Iran).

[ErikJ]

9. Republicans want a Theocracy also.

[lark]

11. True!

[BlueMTexpat]

21. Not just similar - inside they are exactly alike.

They are both equally terrifying.

It's only the externalities that confuse people.

[merrily]

14. Geez, are they at a funeral? Saddest looking bunch I've seen in a long time.

[Canuckistanian]

30. Repressing women is serious work

Also, they have to repress homosexuals, religious apostates, reformers, artists and free thinkers in general.

It's a heavy cross to bear (so to speak).

[AndyA]

10. I think the women in Congress should get together and form their own subcommittee

on men's reproductive rights.

Perhaps regulate Viagra and Cialis so that they're used solely for reproductive purposes. If no child is produced within a certain period of time, the guys get cut off. After all, the only reason for needing these drugs is to reproduce, right?

How many men in Congress are on this stuff do you suppose? 85 percent? 90? Hit 'em where it hurts.

[dothemath]

13. only one ..................

Only one woman since the late Bella Abzug has been elected to Congress without having to 'pass muster' with the rich old white guys who run things. Need a hint?

[AndyA]

20. I'm going to guess she's relatively new to Congress?

I'll also venture that she's smarter than most of the men in Congress, has higher ethics, a true sense of what's right and wrong, isn't prone to maintaining the status quo, even though that would be easier?

[caledesi]

27. Oh, that is rich! nt

[LuckyLib]

12. You mean like this one?

Bush and Co sign a bill restricting reproductive rights for women. My 90-year-old mother pointed this out to me -- she was furious.

15. Sadly, I've found women to be quite capable of selling out womankind.

It is an ideological issue, not a genitalia issue.

Putting certain Republican women on that committee would fix the cosmetics of the photos, but not the outcomes.

[SunSeeker]

16. Rich white women have always had access to abortion.

They are not personally encumbered by the strictures of their moralizing laws imposed on others. So yes, in that sense they are just like male Republicans.

[merrily]

17. That is a somewhat different issue. I imagine I could find thousands of relatively poor women

who would also vote against reproductive choice.

[SunSeeker]

18. Sure, but nothing close to the majority of poor women...or even middle class women. nt

[mountain grammy]

41. Yes, exactly! I keep telling all young women who will listen..

go to sleep and you'll wake up in Rumania! Do not vote Republican. No American woman should call herself a Republican.
Jon Stewart had Olympia Snow on a week ago, pimping her new book about how we should work together.. please! She was in lock step on almost every filibuster and Stewart called her out, but not enough. She bragged about what good legislation she passed with Dems years ago, but why wasn't she speaking out during the worst obstruction in our history when Obama was elected?
I can't think of a single Republican woman I respect these days.. maybe Babs for a minute when she said no more Bushes should be president.

[alfredo]

19. It's the old tactic of breeding ourselves into a majority. They blame abortion and immigration

for the white race losing ground to minorities.

"They're breeding like rabbits." "All they do is lie around the house, take drugs, and make babies."

[AtheistCrusader]

22. There are men I would trust to represent their constituents and do the right thing here.

Just not those men.

[SummerSnow]

23. Thebarefootandpregnantiownyourvagina subcommittee....

smh

[Rain Mcloud]

24. So where are all these trickle down magic jobs?

30 years of Republican leadership,tax cuts,de-regulation and erosion of personal freedoms.

Where are the jobs?
Lets count it down:
Tax cuts=no jobs
de-regulation=no jobs
Patriot Act=no jobs
DOMA=no jobs
Welfare Reform=no jobs

So no jobs unless you count the military at a cost of a paltry 500 billion dollars per year.
They took the tax cuts and opened factories overseas then sent the jobs over there.
President Chimpy McMurderboner grew the size of government under DHLS by 25%
Squandered billions of dollars on Dick Cheney's contractor cronies in Iraq and later 'Nawleens after Katrina.
These are the jobs that were created and so we all must wonder:Were you just lying through your teeth?
In the words of Joe Wilson"You Lie"!

So now,how does a Woman's God given right to make decisions about her body have anything to do with governance?
In the words of Dick Cheney "go Fuck Yourself(ves)!"

25. This should so be VIRAL around the net and that

FACEBOOK!

thanks EarlG!

[caledesi]

32. Totally agree! Thanks Earl! nt

[tartan2]

26. Not only are they all male but it looks as though they are all white too!

What drives me crazy is these damn men putting their nose where it doesn't belong. Look don't get me wrong but I am so damn sick of white men running this country and generally they are grumpy old white men!!!

[caledesi]

33. Amen to that! nt

[KT2000]

28. this says it all

maybe the women representatives can hold hearings and consider bills on erectile dysfunction treatments. All those pills and potions must be stopped in order to save our family values!

[blkmusclmachine]

34. The GOP would LUV to convert the good ol' U S of A into another Afghanistan.

As long as they're the Warlords, of course.

[blkmusclmachine]

35. Burqas soon.

They just got to find a way to sell it to the masses/sheeple/Teahadists.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. wrap it in God(tm) and Country(tm)

For the minions. And tie it to big profits. For themselves.

Piece o' cake.

[tanyev]

36. Oh, c'mon. You know us emotional wimmenfolk can't be trusted to make the right decision

about these kinds of things.

[Kath1]

39. No shock there, but very sad.

Bottom line - none of those men will ever get pregnant. I'm a mother by choice, not government edict. I have friends who have had abortions. I would love for one of them to be on that House Subcommittee to educate those bigots on real life.

[gtar100]

40. This they find the time to work on.

Assholes.
