I don’t really even know why I bother reading the news anymore. None of it’s good and, if it’s anything like this, it makes me want to punch a hole in the wall:
An anti-abortion bill being offered by Republicans in Iowa would effectively ban all abortions and give parents rights over the bodies of unmarried adult daughters.
I’m sorry, what was that last part? That’s not the way these things are usually worded.
Let’s see here. “An anti-abortion bill being offered by Republicans ...” — yes, of course, because the Christian white men have to control the vaginas of The Womynz because of stuff and things and yadda yadda yadda ISIS — “ … in Iowa would effectively ban all abortions ...” — right, OK, standard SOP for Republican men to try to control women’s bodies in the Midwest, what else is new — “… and give parents rights over the bodies of unmarried adult daughters.”
what. WHAT. WHAT!
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT
ARE YOU EVEN KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!?
No, no. No, I’m not.
More from Raw Story:
Anticipating that the “personhood” provision of the bill will likely be struck down by courts, the GOP bill also provides criminal punishment for anyone who performs an abortion more than 20 weeks after conception. The bill makes exceptions if the life of the mother is at risk. However, it does not make exceptions for rape or incest.
I always think it’s strange when Republicans are good enough (cough,cough) to make exceptions for the life of the mother being at risk, because we all know that rape and incest have no effect on a woman or girl whatsoever and that, in some cases, it’s considered a positive. You know, like when it’s “God’s will” and shit. Like that.
It’s a fucking wonder we have laws in this country at all.
Can you actually see me spitting nails? I’d like to spit nails right now. I’d like to spit them … well. Nevermind, saying that will get my ass banned.
Anyway.
Iowa House Democrats noted on Wednesday that HF 53, to which SF 471 is a successor, also gives parents the legal right to prevent unmarried adult daughters from having an abortion.
Ya know, just last week, Pa tried to sell me for 3 cows, a bull, half a dozen chickens, and a goat to Farmer Johnson down the road. Fortunately for me, Farmer Johnson has a young, new bride who is pregnant already, so Pa can keep my dowry for later. Maybe we can even add the mare! Boy howdy, she would come in handy!

If anybody needs me, I’ll be over in the corner, slamming whiskey and wondering why the hell I don’t own a gun.
