What Rick Santorum Needs is a Uterus of His Very Own

Comments

I still think that Mrs. Santorum needs to prove (with medical records) she has never had an abortion. And until she proves she hasn't we need to call Rick Santorum a "husband of a baby killer".

Just visited his website (I know, but they paid to be advertised above the more popular site), and found this listed among his many legislative initiatives:

"Chimera Prohibition Act (Co-sponsor) - This bill would have prevented chimeras (human-animal genetic hybrids) created with uniquely human genetic characteristics. Animal could not be fused with human brain or reproductive tissue. This ban would also ban human embryos from being implanted in animals."

I guess he needs that uterus so his baby doesn't have to develop in a sheep or hog (with Hitler's brain?).

Very funny post, but I think you mean 30 sweaters, not 300. Unless he's marked the price down to $10.

How man rapebabies has this stupid asshole adopted?

Vince on January 25, 2012 at 8:03 AM

'many" fuck!

Rick Santorum can have my uterus, since he desires the ability to carry a child to term so badly that he's willing to force every woman in America to allow him to live vicariously through them. He can up and take mine, because I guarantee that if anything tries to implant itself while it's *my* uterus, I will do my damndest to make sure it doesn't make it out alive.

suddenlyorcas on January 25, 2012 at 8:40 AM

Can I get him a menstrual cup? They're so much more environmentally friendly than pads or tampons, and better for vaginas, too (I'm assuming Rick will be getting one of those along with his shiny new uterus).

I can't decide which is more disgusting; santorum or Santorum. When will people stop taking this jackass seriously?

Given how obsessed Frothy Mix is with gay sex, I'd assumed that what he really wanted was a cock in his ass, but I guess that doesn't preclude also having a uterus.

tiktok on January 25, 2012 at 9:56 AM

Don't forget to send him a couple douches too!

Njoy on January 25, 2012 at 10:05 AM

Posted on the link that I shared about this on my Facebook wall (From a Woman)

"Such a sad thing for someone to say about a man of God. If women out there who don't want to get pregnant would stop opening their legs for every man that comes along she would not need an abortion. Just cause a child is not out of the womb does not mean it is not human. You are murdering children left and right cause you can't take the precautions necessary to keep from getting pregnant. Leave the man alone."

Excuse me while I go verbally bitch slap her.

Freud was wrong: what makes the world go on isn't penis envy; it's womb envy.

"Jaw Harp" or "Jew's Harp", not a "Jaws Harp" unless it is being played by Richard Kiel.

debug on January 25, 2012 at 11:02 AM

I can't stand people who think MY uterus is THEIR business. I calmly explained to someone that that if they feel abortions are morally wrong, all you have to do is not have one yourself (and since it was a heterosexual man I was talking to) not date/marry a woman who was pro-choice.

His response was to threaten to show up at my house with a shotgun and blow my face off because in my opinion "murder is legal."

I really hate people.

ladyrockess on January 25, 2012 at 11:13 AM

Just got told to quit picking on him, again

Hopiwan on January 25, 2012 at 11:28 AM

No self-respecting uterus would have him.

despicable me on January 25, 2012 at 11:46 AM

@13 Did you point out that threatening to shoot someone in the face is actually illegal, not just pretend illegal?

stirwise on January 25, 2012 at 11:46 AM

@16 I really should have, but I was trying to be reasonable, and I thought it would unnecessarily inflame him.

ladyrockess on January 25, 2012 at 11:47 AM

@2: Wow, that man does not know what a chimera is.

venomlash on January 25, 2012 at 11:52 AM

Is Santorum's headquarters really on Fruitville Road? Giggle snicker titter etc.

on January 25, 2012 at 12:06 PM

Since his boyfriend is apparently too cheap to do so I'm starting a fund raising drive to buy Dan Savage an inflatable doll that looks like Rick Santorum. Sure, it'll be expensive, but the poor sick bastard clearly has lost what passes with him for a mind with this whole unrequited passion thing. And everyone knows a decent guy like Mr. Santorum wouldn't touch that middle aged deviant Savage with a 10 foot disinfected pole.

Hopefully poor little Savage can work his odd issues out this way in the privacy of his own home. Or bathhouse. Or gay bar restrooom. Or public bus, since there really isn't anything beyond the pale for that weirdo.

I'd ask that the Stranger staff set it up, but they'd only spend the money on torches for 'peaceful' marches on police stations.

@ 20, after that comment, I'm don't think Dan's the one with "odd issues."

Matt from Denver on January 25, 2012 at 12:32 PM

Be sure to get yourself a "Dan Savage" doll, Seattleblues.! After all one who posts comments from Italy about someone they hate is a tad obsessive. You could hunker down to your doll with an espresso and yell for hours. Pretty cheap therapy.

I know nevermind, it is nearly 22:00 hrs where your at, and you'll want to be getting back to your phone free and Internet free slice of heaven in Tuscany. The diversions of Italy just aren't what they used to be anymore. Or are you passing through Milian after a quick trip to France? Either way, be careful on the roads.

FYI for all the women with the 'right' to murder.

You don't have any right to put children at risk for your personal convenience, born or unborn. Don't want children? Don't get pregnant. No girl over the age of 12 doesn't understand how birth control prevents conception, don't bother telling me sexually active adult women don't.

Seattleblues on January 25, 2012 at 12:56 PM

@ 24, what about victims of rape and incest? Can they all be expected to be on the pill and fitted with a diaphram at age 10, just in case? Or did you cover that when you were speaking of "convenience?"

While we're on the topic, how do you explain unplanned pregnancy? Is it just a myth? It must be, if "no girl over the age of 12 doesn't understand how birth control prevents conception," right?

And does a 9 week fetus really qualify as a child? If so, why don't anti-abortion ads ever show them? You know, like ultrasound images? It isn't because they don't look much like children, is it?

Matt from Denver on January 25, 2012 at 1:30 PM

Actually Seattleblues I grew up in TN and I really seriously had no idea what my vagina was until I started bleeding from it and at that point I got handed a pack of pads. I went to public schools which taught me nothing about my body. My parents were present yet mentally absent through my childhood.

I was raped at 15, luckily not penetrated but raped non the less. I still believed in god back then, so I thanked him over and over again that I couldn't get pregnant because there was only 1 abortion clinic in Memphis and it was always booked solid and had crazy people yelling in front of it.

My conclusion is you are a very short sited human being with zero compassion. I had no idea what condoms were at 15, birth control, etc. The only thing I was ever told was that I should hold a penny between my knees. Thank god I got the internet because you can definitely still have sex with a penny between your knees and I would have figured it out.

tigntink on January 25, 2012 at 2:10 PM

Doesn't Santorum HAVE a uterus of his very own? I mean, isn't that what he thinks marriage IS?

BEG on January 25, 2012 at 2:27 PM

@25: No such thing as a 9-weel fetus. It's still an embryo then.

venomlash on January 25, 2012 at 2:37 PM

What Rick Santorum needs is a boyfriend.

very bad homo on January 25, 2012 at 3:01 PM

SeattleBlues, maybe you should save that money so you can eventually move out of your mom's basement.

blahcula on January 25, 2012 at 3:12 PM

You know, I'm seriously considering a hysterectomy: maybe I should actually mail the removed organ to him. I sure as hell don't want it.

Geni on January 25, 2012 at 4:00 PM

Hey frugal folk - Dollar Tree has pregnancy tests. No joke. I always wondered why they do, and right next to the gum etc at the counter. should I explain to the cashier or let her tell her friends "You would not believe this shit. A girl came in and bought 9
pregnancy tests and a box of Junior Mints!"

Velouria on January 25, 2012 at 4:15 PM

@ 28, that's even less childlike than a fetus.

Okay, SB, VL has corrected me, and I will defer to his expertise on the matter, just as I would defer to yours on topics like the price of lumber. Now, when you decide to turn up tomorrow or whenever (always something in doubt, but never mind), answer me @ 25.

Matt from Denver on January 25, 2012 at 4:43 PM

#24: Rick Santorum is ALSO against contraception. So there's that.

drcme on January 25, 2012 at 6:26 PM

Some of your readers actually are "rapebabies" and that's a really ugly term to use. I'm pro-choice, but that means also respecting the choice of someone who decides to continue the pregnancy and parent the child, without ever once blaming the "rapebaby" for the crimes of their DNA donor. Bash Rick Santorum all you like, but leave those of us who happen to have been conceived in violence but born in love out of it.

Turtle on January 25, 2012 at 6:40 PM

Just shipped 4 cases of "heavy day" tampons Rick's way via UPS....

pgbach on January 25, 2012 at 6:59 PM

They took my uterus out last month. If I had known, I could have had it sent to him

angel in indy on January 25, 2012 at 7:25 PM

Would anyone mind providing a link to an interview where old frothy mix claims to be against contraception? Maybe I've got too much faith in humanity, but I can't really wrap my mind around someone being both pro-life and anti-birth control. It just seems so contradictory. Could anyone really be that stupid?

on January 25, 2012 at 7:36 PM

Should we sent Rick some Midol too?

thejulie on January 25, 2012 at 7:47 PM

#38, a cursory Google search found that Santorum is not on record as wanting to ban contraception. He does believe it to be morally wrong, and would like to end federal funding of such.

@1: In fact, Karen Santorum did have an abortion. But, like all anti-choicers who choose to abort, she claims hers was totally different: http://oursilverribbon.org/blog/?p=188

ShifterCat on January 25, 2012 at 10:00 PM

@24 I grew up and went to high school in western WA in the mid-90's. No one told me about birth control. I had to research it on my own when I got to college and started my first sexual relationship. But even if you know about birth control and use it correctly, no method is 100% effective. Condoms can break. Pills will occasionally fail you. And, as several other people mentioned, rape is not exactly uncommon. Unplanned pregnancy can and does happen. The idea that all 12 year old girls are well-versed in and have access to a ready supply of birth control is fairly ludicrous.

skjaere on January 25, 2012 at 10:11 PM

Maybe I will let Mr Santorum have my uterus when he makes contraception illegal. I have horrible menstrual pain that literally make me puke, stay 2 days in bed, and make me want to rip my entrails out unless I'm on the pill. I'm not the only one, even if I'm clearly in the minority - thankfully, most women don't have it as bad.
So, if Mr. Santorum thinks I don't need the pill to deal with this, he can have my uterus.

juli81 on January 26, 2012 at 12:55 AM

If you plan to send the Santorum campaign anything, remember the cost of postage went up the other day.

My Name Here on January 26, 2012 at 8:05 AM

@43 - I had a similar thing with my periods. For the first two days I was in pain, cramping, dizzy, couldn't focus on anything...had to take prescription codeine to get anything done. Then when I was 18 I didn't want to take codeine to college with me (I was told by the university that I'd get arrested if my roommate stole and sold my medicine), so my doc recommended birth control.

Bam! 7 day period with a regular flow instead of 9 days of heavy flow, and no pain an ibuprofen couldn't handle. Now I'm on a different kind so I get a FOUR day super-light period...it's glorious!

ladyrockess on January 26, 2012 at 11:07 AM

@26, you're part of the reason why Seattleblues is posting here less and less often: the shock of reality. The more the real world bites him, the less he can claim justifications for his beliefs.

Ah, if all people like him believe that all 12-year-olds 'already know' were true!... Sadly, even many 21-year-olds don't know that yet.

ankylosaur on January 27, 2012 at 2:04 AM

@35 No one is trying to make it illegal to not have an abortion.

giffy on January 28, 2012 at 12:06 AM

Fruitville Road. I knew it.

James Hutchings on January 28, 2012 at 10:25 PM

@20:

Seattleblues has more words on this site about Dan than Dan does about Rick Santorum.
