[Nailzberg]

4. Sickening, I thought the same thing when I saw it.

[SeattleRob]

8. come on women.....

Don't you think these guys know what is best for you and your bodies?



I think NARAL should use this image on a T-Shirt.

10. I had the pleasure of hearing

Margaret Atwood speak this summer and although she was focusing on Oryx and Crake (good read, BTW), she did say that it was not her intention for The Handmaid's Tale to be used as a blueprint.

It frightens me how much closer we are moving toward that dystopia every day.

14. Great quote from Atwood (nt)

5. Isn't it ironic

there isn't a single woman in that picture?

Seven white men signing legislation removing control of our own bodies and our own lives from us. Our struggle for women's equality took a giant step backward today.

How much longer will it take them to ban abortion completely?

[pmbryant]

19. Terribly

You'd think they could have dug up at least one woman willing to be part of this disgusting PR photo. They dug up a Dem, after all. (Though apparently they had to dig pretty deep.)

But I guess they either couldn't or they didn't even try. Shows how much they value women's input on this issue.

:grr:

6. Federal Judge just blocked it....

Judge Blocks Partial-Birth Abortion Ban

Associated Press Writer

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A federal judge in Nebraska blocked implementation of a federal ban on certain late-term abortions Wednesday, less than an hour after President Bush signed the ban into law.

U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf issued a temporary restraining order against the law after a three-hour hearing on a lawsuit in Nebraska brought by abortion-rights supporters.

He said his order would apply only to the four doctors who filed the lawsuit, but the ruling could extend beyond Nebraska because the physicians are licensed to practice in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, New York, South Carolina and Virginia.

Kopf cited concerns that the law did not contain an exception for preserving the health of the woman seeking the abortion.

Still - These F**kers make me sick - God, how I hate them with such fury!!!

[BlueJazz]

7. Yep...I understand.....I wonder how many of those...

....7 fuckers have been through child-birth?

[bluestateguy]

9. The law cannot be enforced

and in many places it will be routinely defied. Still, this invasive law should make many feminists rethink gun control, as a means of protecting themselves from religious fanatics who might try to "enforce" these laws on their own in front of clinics or by threatening doctors.

11. thank goddess for that but...

do you really think legallity has any bearing on this administration?

i hate this asshole and all those who are willing to kiss it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Did you see the asshole

Jerry Falwell sitting there in one of the slides? Damn! The smirky look on his face is disgusting....I'd love to slap it! Fucking RW zealots. What a bunch of bastards!

[veganwitch]

13. it really is absolutely disgusting.

and shrubco doesnt care that the ban is ILLEGAL and has the precedent to prove it.

[ComerPerro]

15. With the help, guidance, and encouragement of these men,

We believe that we can teach the president to write his own name.

[ComerPerro]

18. I mean, just look at this dumb (yet somehow smug) son of a bitch

He looks like a stupid little kid who finally, at age ten, learned how to write the alphabet.



And then there is this:

Caption: President George W. Bush (news - web sites) walks to the podium for a press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House Washington, October 28. 2003. Bush said the U.S. is not ready for a total abortion ban, but he would sign a ban just approved by Congress on what opponents of the procedure call 'partial birth' abortion

16. while we are at it

can we please vote this picture into oblivion?

[lastliberalintexas]

17. Make a donation to NARAL or Planned Parenthood

in their names. I am sending one in the names of my Senators and Congressman who all voted in favor- and I will be copying them on the cover letter.

Our outrage means nothing, but our money certainly does.
