Feb. 18th, 2011 07:32 pmCalifornia Rep. Jackie Speier blasts House Republican colleagues for anti-woman cuts to Planned Parenthood
Make no mistake; the GOP leadership in this country has declared war on women - their choices, their bodies, their liberties, and them personally. All these anti-choice and pro-rape proposals are not in any way intended to preserve the the safety of children, or the sanctity of life, or any such nonsense. Notice that you see ABSOLUTELY NO BILLS OR POLICIES BEING PROPOSED TO POLICE MEN'S REPRODUCTIVE (AND IN TURN, FINANCIAL) HEALTH OR CHOICES. Ergo, the logical Holmesian conclusion is that this is all aimed at women. Further, it's aimed at encouraging their early deaths by limiting screenings for cancer, STDs, problems with wanted pregnancies, and denying them affordable birth control options.
In addition, it's only cutting off legal venues for abortion - there is nothing in history that suggests that if legal abortion is unavailable, all women will forego a procedure altogether. They will not. Many will die, along with their unwanted fetus. And as for women who need an abortion on a wanted pregnancy to save their own lives? You've effectively just told them that they are worth less than an unformed blob of undelivered cells, not to mention adding to the pain and suffering they're already enduring by having to need this procedure in the first place.
