rick perry, dan patrick, and frank corte: pls stay outta my vagina, kthx.


from texas politics:

Gov. Rick Perry told lawmakers that he supports legislation by Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, and Rep. Frank Corte, R-San Antonio, requiring “those wanting to terminate a pregancy to review their ultrasound before proceeding.”

“As we consider the growing threats to our nation’s unborn, I believe it’s time to add another layer of protection for the most vulnerable Texans,” he said.

as usual, they worry more about the unborn than they do the birthed.  if they actually cared about *people*, they’d implement a plan that made sense:

1) raise awareness through more education (planned pregnancies are best),
2) support birth control (in ALL of it’s forms, abstinence AND other means - birth control should be affordable, accessible, and available to all),
3) social networks to assist when there has been an unnplanned pregnancy, whether the woman chooses abortion, adoption, or to keep the baby, and
4) above all, compassion and understanding (cuz really… calling someone the child of satan because they don’t agree that abortion is murder is NOT getting your message heard nor is telling someone to go get raped so they understand why abortion is acceptable).  (see: now for something less controversial: abortion)

THAT is the number one way to cut the number of abortions. 

instead, texas has led the nation in abstinence education while our teens were more apt to have sex, not use condoms, and led the nation in teen pregnancies(see: texas leads the nation in losing)

never forget, this is a calculated maneuver by those on the right to chip away at roe v wade.  we’ve seen it time and time again.  from rewriting the definition of conception to the pill kills campaign.  (see: menstruation… or god’s dirty little abortion secret )

it’s easy, folks.  unless you’re invited, stay out of another woman’s vagina, kthx.

to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do, so girl if that shit ain’t up to you, then you simply are not free, cause from the sunlight on my hair to which eggs i grow to term to the expression that i wear, all i really own is me

i mean to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do.  goddess forbid that little adam should grow so jealous of eve and, in the face of the great farce of the nuclear age, Feminism ain’t about equality, it’s about reprieve

history that your teacher never taught - leave or die.


It is America’s family secret.

Beginning in 1864 and continuing for approximately 60 years, whites across the United States conducted a series of racial expulsions. They drove thousands of blacks from their homes to make communities lily-white.

In at least a dozen of the most extreme cases, blacks were purged from entire counties that remain almost exclusively white, according to the most recent census.

The expulsions were violent and swift, and they stretched beyond the South. But they remain largely unacknowledged in standard histories of America. While it is impossible to say exactly how many expulsions took place, computer analysis and years of research conducted by the Washington Bureau of Cox Newspapers, which owns the American-Statesman, reveal that they occurred on a scale that has never been fully documented or understood.
