This Thursday, the Missouri House voted 110-37 to pass a bill meant to protect the "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry” of fertilized eggs like the one pictured above -- which, if passed by the state senate and signed by the governor, would effectively outlaw abortion.
Considering the cost of an uncomplicated pregnancy and childbirth and the fact that a very premature birth or severe birth defects can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, why are companies like Hobby Lobby that refuse to cover birth control not charged more for health insurance than those that do? You can buy a lot of birth control pills or implant a lot of IUDs for the cost of one pregnancy.
110 out of 147 Missouri legislators are utter fucking assholes. It's quite remarkable.More remarkable is the fact that there are, apparently, women who vote for them.
I was thinking about how to get these legislators attention real fast to feel the consequences of their "my way or the highway," type of lawmaking! Let's start by re-activating some of Saddam's "rape squads!"! They could be set loose on the women of those Missouri legislators and then rape them! Shucks, let's also have the men raped just for fun! Then charge the legislators themselves for any and all expenses in bringing the rape squads here!Think that would change any minds?
I've been thinking about this all day, why do these guys care so much about zygotes that one in five of will miscarry anyway? Why? They obviously don't care about the child once it is born and grows up, so why care about it when it has a pretty good chance of not making beyond a few more weeks of growth?
What's in it for these guys? Where's the pay off? What do they get out of it? I've tried to find some approach to declaring that a human being's life begins at conception and any disruption to that life is a criminal act that makes sense, but I can't! I can't! I CAN'T! Oh GOD, why can't I make it make sense? Why? Am I deficient in some way? Am I missing some vital Christiany part of me? Is there a gene missing? Did my ma drop me on my head? Why? Why? Why?
Not Shakespeare you're stealing from- it's Henry II.

Aaagh....could have sworn that line was from a play. #undercaffeinated
Right? Also too, I want to know where these things are, 'cause I've never seen one.
Except for that they won't.

In a few ways. In others they are indistinguishable from the American Religious Right.
According to their good book it pretty much mandatory for the rapist to marry the victim and pay her father 50 silver shekels
That's what I get for trusting google image search!
Where a search for "Clapton" ends up at "Clap" in a page or two.

He stole it from a line historically attributed to Henry himself.
Even if both of them vote against these legislators it won't do any good.

Ok. Now you're just being practical.
