before that Paul Simon

I've never voted for a Dem for President but have voted for an independent and a green party candidate. Perot and Nader.

Look I just want government, whether it be the left or right out of virtually everything other than protecting us from attack.

so.....
today the virginia ledge passed a bill requiring women to get an ultrasound before getting an abortion. at least they changed from the invasive one they'd originally written. yeah, some progress. the rep gov expected to sign it into law.


and washington state.....judge just ruled that pharmacists can refuse to dispense certain drugs if they violate their religious beliefs. oh, that's wonderful. so, go to the counter and some guy doesn't do his job because of his personal opinion, so now he can refuse YOU because of HIS opinions. fantfreakingtastic!! look, if people have beliefs and opinions, great-but why are they allowed to affect someone else and someone else's life because of something they believe? so, if i worked at mcdonalds, and i told some fatass they didn't need a big mac, do you think i'd get fired? i bet i would. but if it's a religious belief, it would be quite all right.
what bs.

For some, "religious freedom" means they get to push their religion on others. They forget that others are also entitled to freedom from their religion being shoved down their maws.

It's a start ... the ultrasound bill is still around, unfortunately.

Huzzah! Virginia puts 'personhood' bill on hold until next year

In a stunning turn of events, the Virginia Senate has voted 24-14 to scuttle a bill that would have given fertilized eggs the same legal rights as people.

Sen. Richard L. Saslaw, D-Fairfax, proposed that House Bill 1, which had passed the Senate Education and Health Committee earlier today on an 8-7 party line vote, be sent back to the committee and carried over to the 2013 legislative session for further discussion and deliberation. [...]

The vote effectively kills the bill for the year.

The bill, HB 1, stated that life begins at conception and that fertilized eggs have all the rights and privileges of a person, which could effectively have banned abortion and some forms of contraception. In committee, the bill passed on 8-7 on strict party-line vote on the Republican-controlled committee. But when it got to the Senate floor, the vote was 24-14 to take it off the docket until next year.

"We are a laughingstock of the world because of things like this," said Sen. Mamie E. Locke, D-Hampton, who opposed the bill. "The individual rights of women are being challenged continuously," she said, calling the issue of a woman's pregnancy a matter between "them, their family and their doctor and their God."

One ultrasound bill spiked, but its twin poised to pass.

I can't believe it's 2012, and women are struggling anew to keep their rights against the wishes of idiotic old white men.

Geeshus cripes.

And Santorum today, his rant about religion and government? He's nothing but a Mullah. What a theocratic, dangerous religious loon.

The rest of the world is laughing at us. No wonder we can't drag this country into the 21st century with the rest of the first world, we have too many people in our own country trying to drag us back to the 1700's.

Took a poke at JFK's separation of church and state, said it was a crackpot statement...

well, well, well...had to know that sooner or later, that old misogynist hater rush would have to visit the thread. missed the story from yesterday; happened to catch the tail end of a news segment about his new comments from today while on a treadmill at the gym.

well, gals out there. how does it feel to know that if you use contraception and feel it should be paid for by your insurance just like they pay for all other prescrip meds, that rush thinks you're a slut? a prostitute? hell, he already calls women femiNAZIS so i guess i can't be too surprised.
