188 more days? We can hope? Not that we're home safe then, but I'm really hoping it'll get better. Cuz this fundamentalist theocratic state got old on Day One.

Holy Fucking Hell. So my rights to making decisions about MY OWN BODY are secondary to those of a pharmacist who makes the Baby Jesus--and Adult Jesus, and the Father and the Holy Spirit--puke?

And Carly Fiorina tried to sell John McCain as pro-birth control this weekend. McCain couldn't even remember he'd voted for viagra coverage and against the Pill.

My only hope is that people are just not buying the bullshit. But they've eaten it and smiled for years.

Sorry for the disgusting metaphor.

Viagra is widely available and *free* for the insured but women can't get birth control pills.

Maybe they'd like to cut out my womb, put it in a lab, and pump babies out of it?

I heard that on NPR and just saw it on jezebel. The hypocrisy makes me sick.

No apologies necessary. I agree with all the women who are now calling their used tampons "aborted babies"

Could not agree with you more. It just makes me so...ashamed.

Shame is probably not the "proper" response, but I feel it too.

Sadly I don't think that's a maybe.
