http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/10/20/no-democracy-for-the-womb/When you look at the H.R. 358 bill, which is known as the “Protect Life Act” to conservatives, but is known as the “Let Women Die Act” to progressives and reasonable people, it’s easy to see why it has caused a firestorm based on the Republican led efforts to whittle away a woman’s right to seek out an abortion when her life could be in danger, and there is one thing that comes to mind, and that is the never ending nerve of conservatism to try and dictate what the rap group Naughty By Nature referred to as ‘O.P.P.,’ which is better known as other people’s property or other people’s p-word, which is the p-word that’s a synonym for kitty-cat! Now how fitting is that analogy, because it is politically obvious that the male-driven, conservative ideology is more than cool with at least two things—’O.P.P.’ and Viagra?
In a political party made up almost entirely of grumpy, old men who are terminally allergic to taxes, change, diversity overall, and non-White presidents, it’s fairly easy to comprehend why so many people, especially women, are often saying to themselves: ‘Why can’t these annoying, old geezers find something more constructive to do with their domineering time, like finding new, tax loopholes for shady businesses and Wall St. hooligans to slip through or begging Sarah Palin to run for president or pop out of a Ronald Reagan cake,’ but the grumpy, old conservatives are not alone.
There were fifteen Democrats in the House of Representatives who also voted in support of the bill; Congressmen such as: Jason Altmire (PA), Sanford Bishop (GA), Dan Boren (OK), and Jerry Costello (IL). This is a prime example of why you don’t send a Reagan Democrat to a Tea Party/Republican fight, because they won’t scorn the movement, they’ll probably just join the movement. It just goes to show how the male ego angrily and arrogantly beating on its manly, dictating chest is definitely a bipartisan activity, and it’s just too bad that it might be the only one. When it comes to Democrats, it’s one thing to cave on an issue, but it’s even worse when they help the knuckle dragging, foot dragging, Neanderthal conservatisms actually build the man-cave, and then assist the good-old-boys in trying to push the competency of women backwards and farther into it.
This H.R. 358 bill is being brought to you by Rep. Joe Pitts, a Republican from Pennsylvania, who hails from that most prestigious club known as the House Republicans; the same group that gave us such forgettable numbers as the debt ceiling dance, the party of no shuffle, and the credit downgrade ditty. And if you couple all of this with the fact that Speaker of the House John Boehner has presided over the passage of this legislation during this all-important jobs and debt era, it paints a detailed account of the differences between what Republicans say politically and what Republicans do politically. And with far more pressing matters at hand, the famed House Republicans have reverted back to their old tricks again of trying to dictate their personal ideologies onto you, onto me, and onto the sanctity of the womb, with a pack of Blue Dog, Reagan Democrats wagging their tails behind them!
