Re: House R's push bullschitte bill to ban abortion based on race / sex of fetus
This post, especially combined with major's post that 60% of black women are victims of sexual assault by the time they turn 18, have given me an aneurysm.
Jesus.

I'm sure Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass are rolling over in their graves. How fuucking offensive to the great work and service they did for this country and the status of women and minorities.
Also, the fact that minorities have abortions more often than whites has nothing to do with poverty - you know, something the government could actually try to do something about. Nope, nothing at all. It's just that black people decide that they don't actually want black babies.

Wait, are you saying black people have black babies?
Pretty much this, with this:

Black people are racist against black babies. What? Doesn't everyone want a white baby? Isn't this something you can tell from the anatomy scan?

but the article said there is no evidence to support this happening.
Is there a major epidemic of this happening that nobody has told us about?
Well you know actually, we have speshul technology that allows us to determine the skin color of the fetus inutero. We try to only birth babies that are light enough to pass for white.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

Happens all the time apparently. If that hooker hussy wasn't fvcking around, she wouldn't have these problems.
You amaze me. No words. I'm out.
Oh, Pamela.
white kids aren't all that great
You're making an awful lot of assumptions.
What if it was an unmarried white woman who was in a relationship and cheating on her white partner?
What if it was a black woman and a white man?
What if it was a couple in a consensual interracial relationship who, like many, many people, simply decided they were not ready and willing to deal with a pregnancy? Would these people be looked it with suspicion simply because of their race and their desire to obtain an abortion? If the woman goes to the clinic by herself will she be asked the race of the father?
And finally, how is it any of the federal government's business that any of these scenarios occur or what someone's decision is in these matters?

Pamela must have her story confused. White women aren't slutty! After all, it's the minority women who are having abortions!

Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
And even if there is an epidemic of that nature, whyTF are Congressional Republicans trying to deal with it?
Surely there is something better for them to do with their time.
IDK. This is why I no longer identify as a Republican and consider myself an Independent. It's so f*cking stupid. On every level. I don't give a sh*t about abortions or anything but the economy and neither should Congress. Jesus Christ, it's not hard.
Right... I just can't. This is absurd. I'd also willing to be sister wives with momi and Mer.

Eclaires -
I can't lie. These wackos do an injustice to the GOP. There are plenty of people who could get down with the fiscal policies, but these shenanigans happen too frequently. For the love of God, fix the dayum economy. I don't care what you do with your vagina.
or in this thread, really?
I am not an R, as I criticize them often, but I will....he idiots, this is why your crazy assses need to stop listening to the social conservatives. Stop. Just stop. You sound like crazy people and you deserve to lose in 2012 if this is the case. I know the economy is hard and makes you want to go poopy (thank you Lewis Black), but the Ds are sucking wind with it as well and if you would just for ONE DAMN F'ING MINUTE focus on it, you may actually have no problem beating Obama. He is lousy. The Dems have no plan. But, neither do you, with stuff like this.
(how is that?)
Right?
If we had money trees everywhere in this country and unicorns pooing rainbows everywhere, maybe I could understand that they were bored and wanted to feel useful.
Frequently I wonder how much of this sh*t these people actually believe and how much of it is a complete distraction to rile their pro-life constituents up... I did manage to convince my mother yesterday that all politicians talk out of their ass about abortion and regardless of what she believes, she needs to realize that finding a pro-life candidate is not important. The economy is. And hallelujah, she agreed with me.
I want to have a baby with you - but first I have to ask what race you hail from?
Mostly white (German/Irish mutt). But I admit that there is some African-American blood on my grandpa's side of the family - my uncle was frequently mistaken for being AA growing up. So we probably wouldn't be able to have any abortions, sorry!
I can't explain it, but they way you asked this has me shutting my office door and wiping my eyes....I am LOL'ing my hugewhiteass off over here
I always knew you were "passing". *smh*
