1. That's about it

They are chipping away at our rights.

[Solly Mack]

7. Yes

Every hoop they can force women to jump through, every roadblock to get around - chipping away.

Incrementally since they haven't been able to do it any other way.

And with each new assault people like to claim it won't get any worse - so don't you go getting mad missy! - and then the fresh wave begins.

2. Perhaps I'm missing something

The Hyde Amendment already prohibits the use of federal money for abortions, so how is the amendment changing anything?

[patrice]

3. Thanks for asking that. Will someone answer this please?

It is not as John Boner said for Republicans, because they aren't going to vote for the bill anyway.

[Solly Mack]

5. The Hyde amendment is wrong too

but as the Hyde amendment aleady existed, there was no need for Stupak to present his, for one

The Stupak amendment goes further

4. Heh! Back in the bush years ...... this hung in my car window ....

Nothing seems to have changed, huh?

[Solly Mack]

6. Women are such evil doers

It's a wonder we're allowed out of the house.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Only for the barefoot pregnancy testing.

[Solly Mack]

9. But we have home testing now...so

and I'm sure women can just give birth at home...if women die while giving birth we can just praise them for choosing life & giving their lives to the cause.

11. "days of the theocracy"

Days of the Theocracy
(Kristin Lems)
July 15, 2007
words and music by Kristin Lems c 2007 Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
Out of print for many years, I felt this was important enough that I allowed a free legal download of it from the freedom from religion site. Written in 1979....
1. First they fight abortion, birth control is next,
Then comes sex if you’re not married, finally, out goes sex
Put the prayers back in the schools, install parochiaid
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!

Chorus:

We’re going back, back to the good ole days
When men were really men and women knew their place
Back, back a couple of centuries
And welcome back the days of the theocracy

2. The family is so holy, there must be no divorce
And if a wife is not content, she must adjust, of course
And if he’s forced to beat her, it’s all for her own good
She must know what her limits are, as any woman should

3. The next to go is daycare, it’s all a commit plot
What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not?
A woman’s work is housework, God wanted it that way
A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay

Chorus

4. They teach us women’s lot is "love honor and obey"
And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today
They’re sitting in the Capitol, they’re voting on our lives
If we don’t stop them now, our freedom will not long survive

No going back..to the bad ole days...let's go ahead for future centuries,

And build a world that’s based on true democracy
And build a world that’s based on true equality
Ah – person!
