Oh, wow. I'm random.

Republican candidate for Hillsborough County Sheriff, Frank Szabo, said today that he would arrest any doctor performing elective abortions in his jurisdiction. Further, he wouldn’t be opposed to using deadly force:

“I would respond specifically by saying that if someone is under threat, a full-grown human being, if they’re under threat, what should the sheriff do? Everything in their power to prevent them from being harmed,” he said.

When pressed about what he would do if he learned that a doctor was about to perform an elective abortion, Szabo replied he would do what it took to prevent that from happening.

“Absolutely,” he said. “Well, I would hope that it wouldn’t come to that, as with any situation where someone is in danger, but again, specifically talking about elective abortions and late-term abortions, that is an act that needs to be stopped.”

Even if the abortion was legal in the state of New Hampshire, Szabo says that as sheriff, he would not need to answer to any higher authority or public official.

While Szabo has no law enforcement background, he claims his business experience qualifies him for the job.

Areyoumotherfuckingkiddingme? FUCK THIS DOUCHEBAG. NOT IN MY FUCKING STATE YOU WON’T. I will fucking protest his ass every damn day. I’ll get a vagina costume and sit outside his office all damn day I’m not even kidding.

To recap:

Operation Rescue is an anti-choice group with terrorist ties. Period. 

Their senior policy adviser is a convicted clinic bomber. 

The man who murdered Dr. Tiller had their phone number in his car. 

And now, this. This. I want to cry. I probably will, actually. And that’s what they want, I’m sure. Well, congrats, Operation Rescue. You have successfully instilled genuine, shitting-my-pants fear in me over the idea of clinic escorting tomorrow. I’m going to go anyway, of course, because it’s more important to me than my own life, but make no mistake, everyone: anti-choicers enable terrorists. Yes, even the ones who claim to be opposed to clinic violence. They enable this shit, they funded this website, and they support the people who created it. They are pissing themselves with glee over this.

There is no middle ground here. There is no compromising. They want us dead. 

And I ask you, great big internet, where’s Anonymous? Where are the hacktivists? Where are the people who are frothing at the mouth over SOPA/PIPA as an invasion of privacy? Where are the starry-eyed radikewls who are willing to drop their jobs and lives to camp out at Wall Street and have a drum circle? 

Honestly? Fuck you if you don’t care about this. Fuck you if you think it’s all about “the economy.” Fuck you if you’re too self-involved to recognize how access to reproductive health care is essential to economic security and social mobility for women, especially WOC. Fuck you if you are not enraged about compassionate physicians having TARGETS PAINTED ON THEIR BACKS BY A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. 

DO-MEST-TIC. TER-ROR-ISM. Admit that that’s what your organization is.

The unexpected guest at your Super Bowl party this year? Graphic anti-abortion ads.

Ugh. I’m so thankful to live in NH, our primary is over and done. Can’t these be deemed too graphic? I mean, a bloody fetus isn’t something nice to look at. It’s not something children should see, and it could be seriously traumatic for anyone who’s experienced, witnessed, or been close to someone who has miscarried.
