"If I Wanted the Government in My Womb, I'd Fuck a Senator"

A politician should never use profanity publicly as a matter of decency and respect for good manners no matter how right he or she is.

Minor correction, but the protest was at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City. Sen Judy Eason McIntyre, who held the sign, is from Tulsa.

@3 Yep. It's time to dust off the old Lysistrata play book.
However, I'd recommend that ALL women in Oklahoma participate, to elevate the stakes to the point in a few months time where those who support the legislation won't be able to go anywhere without risking death from the frustrated men-folk.

Sweet Chaos! WHY do I look at the comment threads at newspapers like that? Nice pictures from the protest, though.

I just figured she could put the money towards replacing some of those sets of pearls that snapped from being clutched so ridiculously tight all the time...

Did you notice the advert next to it is for concealedcarry.com, how to get a permit to carry a handgun?
Somebody should introduce a bill that mandates a CT scan for anyone applying for a CCP, to confirm that they have a brain.

@12 So, you're an *expensive* whore. How nice for you.
Oh wait, $1000 / 30 days per month = $33 per night. You're a cheap whore.

On the plus side, the comments I read on The Oklahomanian's page there were pretty supportive of the photo. There's yet hope.

I hate to agree with Phoebe, but I believe this will cause more furor over its profanity than it will do anything to make teabaggers uncomfortable over the way these social issues contradict their "small government" rhetoric. Sad but fucking true.

@11:
For the same reason we can't NOT look at car wrecks we pass on the freeway, I would imagine.
@17:
It's a reference to an old Winston Churchill joke...

@19 Actually, I had to look up your Churchill reference. It does seem familiar, but I couldn't recall it. So, more convergent evolution of viciousness than referential humor, in this case. Not that I am above stealing jokes.

@18 "I believe this will cause more furor over its profanity than it will do anything to make teabaggers uncomfortable over the way these social issues contradict their "small government" rhetoric."
Along the lines of how the froth sort of needing a name, wasn't what the Santorum campaign was about, I believe that the furor over the "fuck" will draw some attention to this issue that would otherwise not be drawn.
Sure, many, probably in unthinking self-defense of their incongruent beliefs, will remain purely caught up in their pearl-clutching, but if it brings some attention to the baloney these legislators are trying to slip in, then it's a good thing.

Ah for once I am not cringing to see my state in the news, this was also in the Tulsa World (albeit censored) http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.a…
For the record- McIntyre didn't make the sign, the blonde woman did and they posed for a reporter from the Daily Disappointment (AKA the Daily Oklahoman).
Women at the protest wore aprons and no shoes to show that this is what the intent of the bill clearly is- to return to the 19th century.

Cool! They should make that sign into bumper sticker and magnets! , these "personhood" agendas make me sick! Next KFC should declare eggs as fried chicken! And supermarkets could charge a fortune for a dozen with this circus of a "logic" where are the jobs, jobs, jobs? If congress is going to offer me more circus acts., at least toss me some bread!!
