Planned Parenthood Helps People In Many Ways – Rep. Jackie Speier’s Story!
Thanks to Lawrence O’ Donnell for showing this on his show and interviewing Rep. Speier, the Republicans don’t give a shit about women. I’ll keep looking for the Lawrence O’ Donnell clip on Youtube, here is the link to MSNBC’s embedded video. This is Rep. Speier on the floor of the house, she is awesome.

Not only are they trying to ban abortion but they are also trying to destroy the environmental protection agency and all regulations. Wow is all I can say and I hope that the American people seriously wake up and vote democrat next election cycle.
Too many men don’t realize what the loss of an offspring does to a mother. Not that men don’t feel loss later on as the child matures then dies, but seems a mother has great concern for her unborn or newly born. Women should have psychological counseling in a follow up. Then there is post partum depression (which caused a Texas women to drwon her five kids). Planned Parenthood does mostly everything else for women in need BUT abortion which is the last resort, not the first.
It’s just not those who lose a child in miscarriage or a needed abortion. Before my mother died (and she was high on morphine for her cancers at the time) she told me a secret she had kept all of her life. Her best friend growing up, a lady I knew well along with her husband and sons my age, had gone to Michigan to live with an aunt to have a child which she gave up for adoption. Everyone back in Indiana was told she went up there to “care for” her sick aunt! This friend died just before my mother passed and on the funeral home prayer card, I noticed she was a year older than my mother, but both were in the same graduating class. My mother then confided in me that she mourned giving up her child for adoption but this was 1932 when women had to keep such secrets. She was always wondering who had adopted her child and was always wondering about the welfare of the child. Even though she had two sons, that “lost” child left a hole in her heart her whole life. So it’s not only abortion that can bring about feelings of great loss, but also adoption, the latter the religious right believing is one of the ONLY alternatives to abortion. Problem being, however, that white children are easily placed for adoption, but minority children, those with HIV or physical/mental deformities languish in foster care instead. Gay couples more often adopt these hard to place children but then the right-wing religious oppose gay adoptions. There is no “winning” with these folks.
MoveOn.org has up the many assaults on women by the right-wing:
Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women
In reference to #8, Gov. Perry and Texas Republicans want to cut Medicaid for nursing home care by 30%. Why not just ship them all to Alaska and let Sarah Palin put them out to sea on an ice flow.
Notice that when the number 8 above is followed by a parentheses, you get a smiley face with shades in HTML! Sorry.
I just stopped by some liberal blogs and found that they were blaming the reason these republithugs got elected on everyone but themselves. Go figure.
Yes, all of those CONSCIENCE voters who just wanted to “send a message” either by staying home election day or voting for a third party “no-name”. But now they can bitch about the Republicons.
its sickening that some people still insist that their is no difference between the two when I see it all to clearly. For one I feel that Obama has stood up for the people and accomplished a great deal… But NOOOOO Obama hasn’t done enough and gave tax breaks never mind that he set out to appeal don’t ask don’t tell. Stood up for women’s rights, etc. Still not enough and thus they convince people to go vote republican and than they cry and when things go sour.
I think they brought this on themselves in my opinion.
