Seriously, do you hate your mother, or what?

More WTFery from the GOP in a proposal to cut family planning funding for low-income Americans. Well, let's call it what it is - just a continuation of the Republicans' newly-kickstarted War On Women. Why is it I'm made to feel guilty for owning a vagina? What did I do to deserve to be fucking well punished for it?? (No, I no longer own a uterus. But that's beside the point. I'm not the only woman alive.)

You should be really proud of me that I'm trying not to yell more about all of this. But I am seriously considering typing out a letter to my asshole state represenative that states nothing but what I've typed in the subject line above. What did the women in these people's formative years DO to them to make them hate an entire half of the species so much?

WTF? This is idiotic. What's the target of those people, turning their country into a Bible theme park? They do more damage to the USA than any terror organisation could ever do. Is there really nobody with common sense left?! Scary.

I'm not sure you can even call it a Bible theme park, since I don't remember any evidence of Christ hating women. What's gut-turning about this is it isn't just ignorant men behind it - it's also willfully spiteful women who can well imagine the problems other women face and TURN THEIR BACK ON IT. I cannot comprehend thinking any of this is a good idea.

You can thank the Tea Party as obviously the Republicans weren't conservative enough. When you think Ultra-conservative, think Southern Baptist. Don't think that's not where a lot of "Tea Party" money comes from.

So much for them defending the Constitution.
