Stupak’s Flaccid Amendment Needs No Viagra (Go Shannyn Moore! You Betcha!)
Americans Against Chaffing (A.A.C.) Unite!

Oh, yes, it’s time. With the House passing a health care bill with the Stupak Amendment, we really need to start talking about this. The political cross-dressers, also known as “Blue Dogs” not only authored, but voted for the Uterus Police.

The Stupak Amendment ensured no federal funds, or federally funded insurance companies would be used for abortions.

On Saturday night, 21 of the 39 Democrats that voted for Stupak then proceeded to vote against the Health Care bill. 175 Republicans voted for the amendment and against the bill. How about this: If your vote attaches an amendment to a bill you won’t vote for, well, it should nullify your amendment vote. I know, it’s the rules…but it feels like someone just ordered an entrée for me from a restaurant I don’t like and now, not only am I forced to eat it-I’m stuck with the bill! Thanks, but no thanks…it’s making me bulimic.

Hallelujah, the bill is out of the House.

Moving right along, I need a Senator to step up for the Americans Against Chaffing (A.A.C.) Amendment. (If you’ve ever been chafed, you’ll understand the acronym.) Since enough of Congress has decided to balloon government to exert rule over the uteruses of its citizens, maybe they need to think about where all those precious feti are coming from. What’s good for the womb is good for the wiener. Do you hear the sweet, lilting strains of “Every Sperm is Sacred” yet?

You may have seen the ads on TV. America has worked hard to overcome our epidemic of erectile dysfunction (E.D.). Apparently, a blue pill and side by side bath tubs help. Every pregnancy, wanted or unwanted, is a direct result of a man rising to the occasion and saluting their power over gravity. My God, think about how many more federally funded doctors’ appointments we’ll need “if an erection lasts more than four hours”? How many unwanted pregnancies could be prevented?

Heh! Word!

2. "What's good for the womb is good for the weiner." ABSOLUTELY!
But the aging white men who put this damn amendment in would never think it was only fair play to put the health of their parts on the line for the sake of health insurance reform.
