    It’s in keeping with the conservative idea of small government, and minimal interference in personal freedoms.

      Well, ovum are very small so this fits within the bounds of “small government” because we’re governing small things. Why? What did you think we meant by the “small government” phrase we’ve been saying all of these years? -Conservatives probably

      shifted away from being more anarchistic in nature to authoritarian. its going to see the split between libertarians (who are more anarchistic) and religious fundamentalists (who are more authoritarian)

        Let’s hope that split is enough for the spoiler effect to ruin both their chances. Maybe once it’s no longer political suicide, the progressives can push their points harder.

      Nah, it’s more like when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

      Conservatives only have one play, it’s to just keep going more right (as in, privatize things more and more to keep “fixing” things).

      They have already gone after abortion.

    “Early menopause? Nah, we think you have had 4 abortions this year. Prove you didn’t or go to prison.”

    I guess we shouldn’t expect better from the party of bad female anatomy, sex education repression, and couch fucking. Weirdos.

      The party that believes that a successful pregnancy is proof that women weren’t legitimately raped

        Todd Akin, Missouri’s Republican Senate candidate, sparked controversy with a claim, made in a TV interview posted Sunday, that victims of “legitimate rape” very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so.

        Speaking to Charles Jaco on the Jaco Report on St. Louis’s Fox station, Akin was answering a question about allowing abortions in the case of rape. He said, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

        https://www.politico.com/story/2012/08/akin-legitimate-rape-victims-dont-get-pregnant-079864

        Todd Akin did apologize and then decided to make it worse.

        In July 2014, WND Books published Akin’s book, Firing Back: Taking on the Party Bosses and Media Elite to Protect Our Faith and Freedom. In it, he said that he regretted apologizing, because “by asking the public at large for forgiveness, I was validating the willful misinterpretation of what I had said.” He also defended his original comments and attacked various Republicans for “wronging” him…
