Submitted for your approval: Republicans make the horrific and false claim that Democrats

are "baby killers". Well it is time that we, and the rest of the world, pin the truth to their sorry movement.

I believe that we should call them "Planet Killers" at every opportunity. Sure, the planet will actually go on but that is a fine point. People need to be scared spitless about what these rich aholes are up to. What do you think?

They are anti-safe-and-legal abortion. Their motive is to be sanctimonious and to impose their religious beliefs on others.

If THEIR kid came up pregnant and unmarried, she'd be on a plane to Sweden before the end of the day.

If YOUR kid comes up pregnant and unmarried, "this is God's punishment for not keeping her legs together."

We need some good, strong, resounding 'talking points,' AND a spokesperson.

health care, clean water; they even think it is OK to leave children in detention centers and not provide the most basics of care like toothpaste or soap.

They are the most anti-life group around. And people need to know it.

Republicans are in favor of killing living babies and have done so.

Pro-life is a myth.

The supposed pro-lifers cared naught when the state of Texas (republican gov, republican Prez) deliberately killed living baby Sun Hudson against the mother's wishes because he was an inconvenience to the state.

It is not a matter of life to the supposed pro-lifers.

It is a matter of control.

Hearing that baby killer crap. Democrats want to make it so you can kill a baby even after it’s born is such a gross distortion of the truth. You can’t talk to these people. Don’t even try. Do counter their not nonsense if they are trying to warp other people.

and go back to what worked when Bush threatened to upend Roe v. Wade:

It is NOT "anti-abortion." It is ANTI-CHOICE.

It is NOT "pro-abortion." It is PRO-CHOICE.

I was reminded of this recently when my college-age son and his girlfriend asked if they could go through my old, old T-shirts (saved as reminders of "what was" when I'm very old). They were most intrigued by my "CHOICE" shirt. When I explained it to them, they immediately expressed shock that this was ever dropped from the debate vernacular.

My son, never one to miss a beat, picked up one of the buttons in the same box and said, "I suppose you wore this one with that shirt?" The button read, "George Bush, get out of my bush!"

Actually he was right. That is exactly what I wore at the million-woman Pro-Choice Rally in D.C.

I smiled and said, "It always takes those nasty women to get anything done, doesn't it?"

They are anti SEX!

Their bronze-age belief system paints human sexuality as the original sin...Brought by a serpent from a devil.

They are ashamed of their bodies and their feelings.

YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BE TOO!

If you get pregnant, you should pay the penalty. Unwanted children are your ultimate burden. It serves you right!

If you just put an aspirin between your knees.....

Abortion deprives Republicans of the opportunity to punish children for the "sins" of their parents.
If Republicans were really concerned about protecting the unborn, they would have well funded programs to take care of those children after they were born.
But it seems they go out of their way to de-fund programs that help living children.
