12. Telling that Infowars never speaks up about women's reproductive rights, as AJ is anti-abortion.

Years ago, after listening to AJ rant on TSA groping, I tuned in, hoping to hear a rant as the GOP passed the law on transvaginal ultrasounds in TX. I had a faint hope the 'freedom and liberty' Libertarian crowd might stand up and protest this being mandated by the fascist government in TX:



Hey, don't like being groped at the airport? Try some real groping. Mandated for daring to ask for a legal procedure. You will be billed for it as well, despite your not wanting it to be done. There you go, little ladies, we know what's best for you.

'Just close your eyes and think of... Liberty? Freedom? Privacy rights?'

No fourth amendment for you, sweetie.

The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it. The Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

(Paul Ryan has promised that the GOP will repeal the Fourteenth Amendment along with its clause for Equal Protection under the law and Birthright Citizenship, when they get enough red states to do it through state conventions. It's on a video thread posted at DU. I call it a 'clear and present danger' to life and liberty, because it's apparent in the 'hands on' fascism being enacted state by state by the GOP, that females need that old Fourteenth.)

But instead on the day I tuned in, he was cheering the Ron Paul GOP/Teas/Libertarians calling into his show who'd worked to pass the ultrasound bill and abortion restrictions in Oklahoma, urging them to get it passed in every state, just as ALEC and the fundies want. Fortunately, It was later ruled unConstitutional in OK.

And there's not a peep from him on this, perhaps he doesn't believe women have a right to protest what's being done to them, their rights to be 'secure in their own bodies,' doesn't matter?

And police grabbing a peaceful woman exercising her Constitutional right to be there, not interfering except for having a rebellious mind in public since 'you don't need no thought control' when hands will do the job, legally 'petitioning government to listen to their grievances' isn't going to be called 'oppression'?

Animal Farm. All animals are created equal. But some animals are more equal than others. All your uteri are belong to us.

I am heartened to read the words of DUers supporting the Democratic senator who did the filibuster in TX, posting the video and giving support for peaceful protestors on this cause.

Thank you all.
