Oh, wow. I'm random.

bebinn:

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.

THIRTY REPUBLICANS voted to allow corporations to become an extension of our court system in October of 2009.  They voted to give Wall Street corporations the power to arbitrate rape cases outside a US Court of law.  Don’t take my word for it, look up the bill yourself.(Amendment number 2588, H.R. 3326) 

(pictured: Jamie Leigh Jones, Haliburton/KBR gang-rape survivor)

THE GANG OF THIRTY WHO VOTED AGAINST GANG RAPE VICTIMS AND FOR THE RIGHT OF WALL STREET CORPORATIONS TO TRY RAPE CASES IN THEIR CEO’S OFFICES. And a few choice comments from Emma about them:

Sen. Lamar Alexander [R, TN] Nay
Well no surprise here.  Lamar Alexander is the same jackass who said on Face the Nation that he still support Randy Paul in spite of Paul’s comments that he would like to turn back the clock on the Civil Rights bill.

Sen. John Barrasso [R, WY] Nay

Sen. Christopher Bond [R, MO] Nay

Sen. Samuel Brownback [R, KS] Nay

Sen. Jim Bunning [R, KY] Nay
Sen. Richard Burr [R, NC] Nay
Senator Burr is no friend to women.  First of all he voted for corporations to have the right to hold their own kangaroo courts instead of having rapists tried by a real court of law.  Then just a few day’s later, he informs us that violence against women is a pre-existing condition.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss [R, GA] Nay
Like all the other pigs, Chambliss’s piggery is not limited to excluding young female rape victims from their constitutional rights.  On the don’t ask don’t tell law [It’s ok for homos to serve and die in our military as long as they keep their mouths shut.] Chambliss “expressed his concern that repealing the rule would pave the way for allowing “alcohol use, adultery, fraternization, and body art” in the military”
Sen. Thomas Coburn [R, OK] Nay
Are you kidding?  if the is re-elected then the people of Oklahoma are brain dead. Coburn is a member of the religious cult, the FAMILY he assisted in negotiating the bribe paid to Ensigns lover’s family.  He cares about life and he votes to uphold the rights of corporate America over those of a young woman who had been gang raped and then held prisoner by Halliburton?

Sen. Thad Cochran [R, MS] Nay

Sen. Bob Corker [R, TN] Nay

Sen. John Cornyn [R, TX] Nay
This man is such a whore for the RNC that if they told him to cut off his head he would ask when.
Sen. Michael Crapo [R, ID] Nay
another pig republican who supports corporate rights over those of a young rape victim.
Sen. Jim DeMint [R, SC] Nay
Carolina like his buddies  he prefers Wall Street to the Constitutional Rights of young women.   Middle Class.org gives DeMint an F for his voting record for every single year that he has held office.

Sen. John Ensign [R, NV] Nay
Well what do you expect from a poor little rich boy whose daddy owns Las Vegas Casinos? Ensign’s mommy and daddy paid off Sonny boy’s lover and her family with a $100,000 bribe.

Sen. Michael Enzi [R, WY] Nay

Sen. Lindsey Graham [R, SC] Nay

Sen. Judd Gregg [R, NH] Nay
And yes, this is the same jackass who, if Obama and his corporate centrist Clinton regurgitated Congress had gotten their way would have been a member of the Cabinet.  If you recall, Gregg accepted then position and then turned it down—most likely he NEVER intended to serve on Obama’s cabinet.  He just want to embarrass Obama.

Sen. James Inhofe [R, OK] Nay
This is the guy who thinks that it is just fine to throw the Geneva Conventions in the toilet.  He said that he was more outraged by the outrage regarding Abu Ghrab that he was the inhumane treatment of the prisoners. No surprise that he would think it is just fine for a bunch Halliburton employees to rape a young woman and instead of the perpeterators having justice in a US court, allowing Halliburton lawyers to be her court..  

Sen. John Isakson [R, GA] Nay
He blathers on about how he supports life and then he throws away the rights of a young woman who has been gang-raped in favor of Halliburton’s right to hold their own Kangaroo court.

Sen. Mike Johanns [R, NE] Nay

Sen. Jon Kyl [R, AZ] Nay

Sen. John McCain [R, AZ] Nay

Sen. Mitch McConnell [R, KY] Nay
If the people in Kentucky don’t know enough by now to not vote against this jackass, the are not educable.

Sen. James Risch [R, ID] Nay

Sen. Pat Roberts [R, KS] Nay
Another big evangelical hypocrite Republican piehole who doesn’t think that women even deserve to have access to  our court system for acts of violence against their bodies—that’s are real Christian attitude, now isn’t it?

Sen. Jefferson Sessions [R, AL] Nay

Sen. Richard Shelby [R, AL] Nay
Sen. John Thune [R, SD] Nay
How could John Thune, an evangelical Christian with two daughters, Brittany and Larissa, listen to the testimony of Jamie Leigh Jones and choose to deny her the right to full representation in  our courts?  I wonder how Mr. Thune would have voted if one of his daughters were gang-raped by 7 men.  I wonder if he would still have thought that it was ok to leave her up to the mercy of Halliburton’s kangaroo court?
Sen. David Vitter [R, LA] Nay
Are you kidding?  This guy has his name in the DC Madams black book.  No surprise here that he would vote to support a corporation’s rights over those of a young female rape victim.

Sen. Roger Wicker [R, MS] Nay

 #honest rape #legitimate rape #forced rape

Ah, yes, the Republicans for Rape. It should also be noted that this gang of 30 was all men. All of the Republican women in the Senate — including the ultra-conservative Kay Bailey Hutchinson — voted the other way.

fuckyeahsexeducation:

From the bill:

“e) Materials that inform the pregnant woman that there is a direct link between abortion and breast cancer. It is scientifically undisputed that full-term pregnancy reduces a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer. It is also undisputed that the earlier a woman has a first full-term pregnancy, the lower her risk of breast cancer becomes, because following a full-term pregnancy the breast tissue exposed to estrogen through the menstrual cycle is more mature and cancer resistant. In fact, for each year that a woman’s first full-term pregnancy is delayed, her risk of breast cancer rises 3.5 percent. The theory that there is a direct link between abortion and breast cancer builds upon this undisputed foundation. During the first and second trimesters of pregnancy the breasts develop merely by duplicating immature tissues. Once a woman passes the thirty-second week of pregnancy (third trimester), the immature cells develop into mature cancer resistant cells. When an abortion ends a normal pregnancy, the woman is left with more immature breast tissue than she had before she was pregnant. In short, the amount of immature breast tissue is increased and this tissue is exposed to significantly greater amounts of estrogen—a known cause of breast cancer. Women facing an abortion decision have a right to know that such medical data exists. At the very least, women must be informed that it is undisputed that pregnancy provides a protective effect against the later development of breast cancer.”

As a note - it’s illegal for doctors to lie to their patients, and although the person who authored this very much thinks that abortion will give you cancer, they are wrong and this bill would force doctors to break the law and patient trust.

This is my state. This bill also has a 24 hour waiting period in it. Additional bills they passed at the same time: making it so minors seeking abortion can only contact judges about it on court business days (so in addition to hiding an unwanted pregnancy from their parents now they have to skip school without them finding out) and one that bans IDX, which is already federally banned and is actually a positive thing for those who need it.

racetothestoneage:

So far it’s passed the House. (+6 from this so far.)

I live in NH, we’ve never had a state income tax, and ever governor has to vow not to pass anything that would create one when they are sworn into office, so this bill in kind of redundant.
