Poor, poor Unpaid Intern! I want to FedEx you some bleach and a hazmat suit, in case you need to go back there...
Seriously, think about this: Those people you interviewed, those are all of our "peers." If you ever go to trial, they could sit on your jury. If your kid is in school, they could be the PTA. They are as dumb as a bucket of nuts, and they are determining your rights. Sweet Jesus.
When is the next meeting? My wife is 100% pro-choice and were trying to have a kid. She often doesnt have to work until 10am and watching a movie like 12th and Deleware enraged her, she was glued to the documentary from start to finish, including the credits.
Im pretty sure she would be down to attend these hearings and would be vocal. Shes the type of girl who was kicked out of the girl scouts because she refused to take part in group prayer.
@5: Well, to be fair, much of their business probably comes as the direct result of abstinence-only education. It's only right that's where the money should come from.
@6: I assume by that she means "women who raise lots of white Christian Republican-voting children", and not, you know, community organizers or social workers or doctors who work in low-income areas or anything else that might actually be viable and/or usable in our society.
@7,
True, but of course, it only compounds the problem.
So first, my tax money goes towards deceiving kids about reproduction, then when - surprise, surprise!!! - they get pregnant, my tax money goes towards deceiving women about their pregnancy and options.
For fuck's sake, please somebody tell me that the abstinence-only program is going to be axed (or already has been). I would rather those dollars go towards the fucking military than abstinence-only "education."
So, how about a disclosure rule that makes these people offering "testimony" admit that none of them have ever been in a crisis pregnancy center, much less been a "client" of one, and that they are merely regurgitating lines fed to them by their church leaders?
I find it somewhat ironic that unpaid intern, an unapologetic conservative, finds it strange that fellow conservatives are politically ignorant, ill-informed mouth pieces for conservative propaganda. Maybe his eyes opened a little today, but I doubt it.
I was at the hearing.......I want to comment at the sweet little faith based women who said "I don't think there's a problem with that"....I don't think there's a problem with them adhering to the bill if they claim to already do it!!!!!! I am pro-choice, haven't needed an abortion but believe it is a women's right!
On another note WASHINGTON, OUR SENATORS acted childish and disrespectful, (minus 3 men who acted civil and respectable)--I was astonished at the way they sat on their bench making snide remarks, whispering and glaring at the PRO CHOICE testimonies....Unbelievable that a senate was put in her place by another senate for acting like a 3rd grader...Gregoire needs to fund the house with AA meetings!!!!!!!!!
I'm all for transparency, and I'm totally against people being herded away from choice, but a sign that reads "Pregnancy Care Center" with "Life Affirming Specialist" gives most people a pretty good clue what that joint's about, doesn't it?
Still, the sign should clearly state that the center is anti-choice.
The Clueless Liberal Hipster stood and prayed thus with herself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other people are, ignorant, pro-life, squares, or even as this publican.....
"I don't think there's a problem with that" - This is totally unsurprising. Many conservative people are completely down with the "I want you to do what I want and I don't care if I have to lie to you to get it" style.
See: masturbation causes blindness, kissing can make you pregnant, homosexuality is contagious, sex is dirty (only if you do it right), condoms don't work, virginity is sacred, ad nauseum.

*Facepalm*
What a fucking scumbag.
More of this would be both entertaining and horrifying to read. Mostly the latter.

Damn. Just.... damn.
Are you sure you aren't talking about the OLD unpaid intern? If so, he's long gone.

and killing a baby is "care"?.....
Yes, not to mention the women. Fetus health; WAY more important.
Sorry, feeling snarky, what with this shit and HR3.
