Title: In Arizona, life begins two weeks before conception.
Post by: Suu on August 27, 2012, 03:21:33 AM
So, keeping that in mind, every period after ovulation is a goddamn abortion.

QuoteWait. What? I must be reading this wrong. The "Women's Health and Safety Act," signed into law yesterday by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and referred to by some as "the egg drop bill," defines pregnancy as beginning two weeks before conception, as it calculates the gestational age starting with the first day of the last menstrual period. The goal of this extreme law, of course, is to reduce the legal window of when a woman may have an abortion.

Good Reverend, please 'splain your state. Again.

Naw, bears repeating.   :lulz:

Anyway, if I COULD explain my state, I'd know how to FIX my state.  It's all fucked up, because it's the retirement home for the Terrified White People PartyTM.  It's why they hate Blacks and Mexicans and women who don't know their place.  Change is BAD, because change implies that they weren't doing it right, back in the year dot.  Also because they have an idealized memory of the past, and view changes as cracks in the perfection of said imaginary past.

That makes sense, as all the old people who couldn't hack it in Florida after the 2004 hurricane trifecta abandoned their houses and moved to the desert for some "peace and quiet."

On the plus side, old people do eventually die, and with them [sometimes] go their beliefs.

I read about this a bit ago, and yet have come up with words to describe how I feel about it.  When I do come up with something, I imagine it will be filled with obscene language and a lot of disjointed rambling due to rage.

Right now I still can't process it fully.  I'm stuck in the disbelief stage.

At least when someone brings up Akin now, I can point in the general direction of Arizona and scream "LOOK OVER THERE!"

Then I'll promptly hide behind a bush.

That's what people probably used to say in the 60's when they were stuck with Nixon, Vietnam, etc.

"JUST WAIT TILL THESE OLD ESTABLISHMENT FUCKS DIE OUT! WE'RE GONNA HAVE NO MORE WARS AND LEGAL WEED AND NO RACISM OR POVERTY AND IT'LL BE SOOOOOOO FAR OUT!"

Every month you have your period is an abortion of a potential child of the multiverse, the levels of genocide only before seen by the Daleks.
Women are a menace and must be stopped.

My parents once told me that when you get older, your ideals change because you grow increasingly selfish in pursuit of the "American Dream." They registered as Republicans in the 30s through their 40s, because it made "more sense" to them, that and it seemed like Reagan was worshiped as a god that would fix EVERYTHING.

Now they're in their 50s, registered Democrats who refer to Rick Scott as "Voldemort" and Paul Ryan as "that popped collar douchebag" while smoking pot in the backyard tiki hut.

Tell 'em I said "Welcome back." :lol:

There was a general propaganda movement in the 80's, I think. What people were bombarded with was "ALL the liberals are yuppies now! Everybody cut their hair! Nobody gets high anymore! It's hip to be square!" Which was bullshit, but it was pervasive. Even Rolling Stone had a conservotard columnist (P.J. O'Rourke, I think.)

That's when they started putting right-wing blather on rock stations, too. Everybody had their local version of Howard Stern. People would tune in for the music and the funny shit and get the garbage with it.

Well, at least that guy's sort of funny.  For a given value of "funny" (in this case, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR).

Rolling Stone readers tend to be a little more discerning than Rush fans, I think.  :lulz:
