The GOP simply cannot seem to stop talking about, legislating, or attempting to regulate ladyparts. Their unseemly and quite disgusting fascination with women's nether regions just never ends. Apparently, the new motto of the GOP is "All Your Vaginas Are Belong to Us." Although, to this asshole, women ARE vaginas. Vaginas that talk and piss him off.
First, in the beginning of 2013, the GOP had feverish dreams of the shaming wand, in Indiana,
Indiana Republicans are advancing legislation that would require women to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound prior to an abortion, the latest in a string of efforts by state GOP lawmakers to actively discourage women from terminating their pregnancies.
Michigan,
Michigan Republicans have introduced a bill requiring all women to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound before obtaining an abortion, a move that rekindles last year's firestorm when other GOP-led states were considering similar measures.
The legislation introduced Tuesday in the state House ensures the "performance of a diagnostic ultrasound examination of the fetus at least two hours before an abortion is performed" and requires her to sign a consent form prior to the abortion. The bill was introduced by state Rep. Joel Johnson (R) and cosponsored by 22 fellow lawmakers.
Wisconsin,
At the Wisconsin Right to Life Legislative Conference this week, the state’s top Republican lawmakers assured attendees that they will do everything in their power to enact a forced ultrasound bill, which would mandate an invasive transvaginal probe for some women seeking first-trimester abortions. “This bill is a priority,” Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) said. “It is long overdue.”
and other states.
This made him very sad
Although, possibly because he was sick of being called "Vaginal Probe McDonnell," and reading snide tweets about "Vaginal Probe for VP!" (full disclosure: I was responsible for a few of them) the Governor of Virginia
backed down, slightly.
Unsatisfied, and sometimes thwarted, in their desire to force women to be raped by an 8-inch plastic surrogate Republican lawmaker, they turned to new tactics.
One man (Glenn Grothman, R-Sick Weirdo) that must have SERIOUS issues came up with the idea of giving poor, pussy-whipped men a new weapon against unruly wives: Let their mommies (or daddies) have control of their wives' vaginas. Not wishing to be left off the "punish those sluts" bandwagon, crazed wishy-washy wuss State Rep. Joe Fischer (R-Wackadoodle) is trying to punish women by making abortion a form of domestic violence.
Maybe they're just jealous of this Gross Old Pervert.
He gets to shame those sluts!
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R) has approved a measure to expand his state’s Medicaid program under Obamacare, which will extend health coverage to tens of thousands of his poor residents. But there’s a catch buried in the Medicaid expansion legislation that the governor signed last week. Now, when low-income women on Medicaid seek insurance coverage for medically-necessary abortions, they’ll have to get approval from Branstad himself.
No, the Gross Old Perverts certainly haven't come very far since Akin and Mourdock got their asses kicked. They are still making
incredibly stupid and ignorant statements about women's bodies.
I'm not a doctor, I just play one in my job
The Gross Old Perverts have a deep, abiding, and continuing interest in rape,
in spite of being told to stop talking about rape.
Dick Black is the latest example. He seems to have a truly perverted interest in violent rape, and a rather depressing fear of being charged with spousal rape.
He thinks about rape quite a bit for someone who seems to know nothing about the issue. When he was on the Loudoun County Library Board in Northern Virginia, he unsuccessfully tried to ban pornography on the library's computers. To draw attention to the issue, he brought a reporter to the library with him to watch some violent rape porn, which, the library noted, was the only time it ever got a complaint about porn on library computers.
The women of the GOP, aside from being depressing and having bad hair, also like talking about rape:
GOP women are just as ignorant
And, in stark contrast:
Democratic women have no patience for nonsense
The public, and the media, simply aren't that interested in ladyparts. Most feel that politicians should stay OUT of personal medical and financial decisions.
Vaginas are more important to politicians than voters.
Forty-one years after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, two-thirds of the American population believe that decisions on abortion should be made between a woman, her family and her doctor, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted last week.
But a majority of the country's elected officials see things differently. Only 40 percent of Congress, one-third of all governors and a quarter of state legislatures support the legal right to have an abortion, according to a new report by NARAL Pro-Choice America. More than half of elected officials fully oppose legal abortion, a position held by only 14 percent of Americans, while a small fraction of lawmakers have a mixed voting record on the issue.
Proving once again that they are out of touch and really don't give a shit what voters want, the Gross Old Perverts persist in talking about vaginas over and over and over. I am, therefore, forced to conclude that they are a group of licentious, lascivious lechers. I REALLY want to add one more "L" word to that sentence: LOSERS!
There is something seriously wrong with people, mostly middle-aged and elderly men, who want to spend their time (and taxpayer funds) talking about vaginas and how they, and possible products of conception residing in uteri, must be controlled by laws. I suppose they wet their pants and wriggle with ecstasy as they imagine women wailing and gnashing their teeth when they hear the dictates of these mighty ladyparts controllers. Ugh. Revolting. We have GOT to get these perverts out of office!
Doesn't he realize that sign is referring to him?
It's up to us. We cannot let 2014 be a repeat of 2010. While some of these links are "old news," we cannot forget the depths of the GOP's depravity and insane, consuming desire to see us shamed and punished for wanting control of our bodies and our lives. As long as they are in office, they will not stop attempting to push us backwards.
Yeah. What she said.
FFS. They
just don't stop, ever. And
they make shit up
h/t to my Twitter friend, Laura Roberts @llr517, for the words "Gross Old Perverts."
