Ooohhhhh, you know I had to post about this.

Sometimes the GOP provides you with some perfect example of how their Pro-life BS is actually just a war on women. Enter Todd Akin and the infamous sentence he spoke earlier this week:

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

Ladies, did you know that we have an anti-rape system somewhere up there. My gyno failed to inform me. Bitch.

Do I even have to point out all that is wrong here? Legitimate rape? So that means if you got pregnant from a rape then you weren't legitimately raped? What about people who want to have a baby but can't-is it because the guy is raping the girl? So many questions about this factually unfounded statement. But ok, ok, he said he meant FORCIBLE rape because you know, sometimes rape isn't forceable.........

But he still believe our lady parts can prevent babies (random conservatives have repeated this claim since the 90's, Mr. Akin is no trailblazer) so ladies if you get raped and pregnant its your fault cause your body is bad or you are lying about rape. And what were you wearing? The rape was probs your fault too.

Icing on the cake -  in this whole statement he mentions the rapist being punished and not punishing the child but he never really mentions the victim beyond her body shuttin that whole baby makin thing down. Essentially, we are our uteri and that is about it.

I think in the context of the uproar over these very offensive comments it is essential to point out a couple of things. VP candidate Paul Ryan has cosigned on personhood bills with Rep. Akin that would outlaw all abortions including in case of rape and incest and to save the life of the mother. Second-Why are Republicans mad? This dude basically was just towing the party line and they are mad because? In case you need more proof, the GOP is adopting the concept that life begins at conception into their party platform.

There is a war on baby makers.

I missed you too

Being Cool

Ugh

“It would’ve been nice if they had shared that with the larger public, the Republican leaders. Instead, Mr. Boehner comes out and says, Rush’s language was inappropriate. Using a salad fork for your entree, that’s inappropriate. Not this stuff. I mean, and Rick Santorum says well, what he says was absurd, but an entertainer is allowed to be absurd. No. It is the responsibility of conservatives to police the right in its excesses, just as the liberals unfailingly fail to police the excesses in their own side. And it was depressing, because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.” -George Will

George Will said this and he ain't exactly a Democrat. Rush Limbaugh called women who use birth control sluts and prostitutes. In fact, he said that the woman he was attacking was 'having so much sex that she needed so many birth control pills." Just an FYI, you don't take a pill every time you have sex. Just one a day.

I digress.

The Republicans are arguing this from the stand point of religious freedom and the new healthcare law requiring even Catholic hospitals and institutions to provide insurance that covers birth control. But, when Rush Limbaugh, the Republicans' golden boy, makes such inflammatory and clearly anti-women statements, how are we supposed to believe it is about freedom of religion and not a war on women? Really? We aren't stupid. 

Happy Monday. Life is not a bitch.

I am getting old

And so, it has happened. I thought I would feel old at 30, but that is two and a half years away. I feel old now. Last night was Thirsty Thursday, right? I  made a casserole, did laundry and watched Big Love. And was in bed by 11, because I have to get my 8 hours of sleep. Because I am 27 1/2 and I am old.

I am now morally offended by late nights. Not too long ago my weekends consisted of staying up until 3:30, 4, even 5 am. Now, get me home by 1am. It's not like I'll turn into a pumpkin or anything, just a raging fucking bitch. If I stay out past 1am, that means I will be wasted drunk. Which means the next day I will feel like shit all day. I remember when I could grab some Taco Bell/Pizza Hut express and my hangover was GONE. Now, I am lucky if it doesn't last into a second day. That shit makes a bitch crabby.

And crowds. God damn crowds of drunk kids.

Now, I am just waiting, in terror for my metabolism to slow down.
