One will do, as Ms. Davis proves (so long as her Village is populated by brainiacs).
Wendy Davis, on the other hand, needs to think about running for the United States Congress. It needs more sane voices.

That's what kind of asshole he is. And will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Right, because to Rick Perry and his ilk, the only thing that matters is whether or not the unborn child could have had a successful life. There couldn't possibly be any other factors that might merit some consideration, could there? The woman herself? She's not even a factor in the equation. Her life, her dreams and goals, her health? Why should anyone care about any of that? As far as these wingnut asshats are concerned, it's not like the woman in question is an actual human being with rights or anything. To them, she's just an incubator with no right to any purpose in life other than shooting out babies.
Lawmakers, male law-makers in particular, you want to talk to me about my reproductive rights? First tend to your own! Make damn sure women are not put in the position of being struggling young, single mothers if you want a dog in this fight!
Maybe not of course, but that self righteous prick doesn't have a fucking clue what her experience has actually been so maybe he should shut the fuck up.

She also added that his comment was "without dignity and tarnishes the high office he holds."

Rick Perry is on that list.
A: "The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel."
B: "Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need … We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
(A: Aldolf Hitler - Mein Kampf 1926, B: Margaret Sanger - April 1933 Birth Control Review).
But the past is past and Planned Parenthood has long since reformed from its eugenical roots to become a totally above board organization, right?

My husband was still recovering from being a conservative Reaganite when we started dating. I expressed my unequivocal support for women's reproductive freedom. He told me that exact same thing about Margaret Sanger -- I think he got it from some CCF bulletin he used to read.
My response then is my response now: so what?
To go a bit further, many women's suffragists were also temperance crusaders -- the fact that I'm against prohibition myself doesn't mean I'm giving up the vote.
by "reproductive freedom" you mean,
of course,
the right to slaughter your baby on a whim?
"reproduce" may not mean what you imagine it does.
of course, Adam Lanza called his AK-47 "reproductive freedom" so you may be on to something...
Because, you know, young single mothers are just SO stupid and lazy, so it's a fucking miracle that she managed to be smart enough to want an education and to actually achieve it. Why am I the only person noticing this horribly condescending remark?
A Brief Rhetorical Exercise
Since Lincoln (a Republican) ended slavery, the present-day black community has, does, and will continue to pledge its undying fealty to the Republican Party.
If this statement is true, one should find ample statistical evidence of a total or near-total GOP-African American alliance, both historically and currently, with projections of same well into the future. Otherwise, find the false premise.
