After years of complaining about the Rs legislating what goes on in your bedroom,
Advertisements [?]
Dems (term loosely applied) on DU seem to be going them a couple of notches better lately. "Dems" on DU not only want to be in your bedroom but your refrigerator as well. I support full reproductive choice for all my sisters, and that includes the right to bear children too. It is none of your freaking business if that choice includes actual reproduction any more than it is your business whether I choose to terminate that pregnancy.

What I do with my income is none of your freaking business. Chances are that many who among the working class poor manage their income better than the middle or upper classes because THEY HAVE TO.

What I put in my fridge or cupboards is none of your freaking business. What I put in my body isn't either--animal, vegetable, or mineral. AND if I happen to be over your accepted standard (and there are a number of them) as to what constitutes the ideal body measurement, it is not up to you to decide that I am transgressing and do not have a mitigating health issue. That is between my doctor and me. Not you, the government, and me.

It is not your freaking business whether I worship a deity or not, and certainly is not the government's business either.

I have had it up to my eyeballs with the pontificating and condescending BS that passes for policy discussion lately here. If you are so concerned about the "health" of women and the general population, then let's work for a living wage, safe work environments, and affordable health care and food for everyone and not just sit around and browbeat others who don't meet your little litmus test of perfect. None of us are perfect in every way and ALL of us are at risk for health issues and disability. ALL of us are at risk to be impoverished and homeless. ALL of us are at risk of being persecuted as a member of some minority, depending on the political winds of the day. Quit nitpicking and start working for the common good.
