CREDO To Send Coat Hangers To Pro-Choice Dems Who Voted For Abortion Restriction Amendment
Brian Beutler | November 13, 2009, 4:36PM


This isn't for the squeamish. It's about as hardball and brutal as it gets.

The liberal group CREDO Action will soon ask over 1,000,000 members to sign a petition condemning the Stupak amendment...and with each signature, CREDO will send a coat hanger to the 20 supposedly pro-choice members of Congress who voted for it.

"We know what happens when women are denied access to reproductive health care including abortion," the petition reads. "And we can't go back to an era of coat hangers and back alley abortions. Reconsider your vote on the Stupak Amendment. Tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the final health care bill that emerges from the conference committee can't turn the clock back on women's rights."

1. I think this is an incredibly tasteless and ghastly thing to do.

And I wish I'd thought of it first. Props to CREDO for spelling it out in no uncertain terms.

:thumbsup:

2. Yeah, where are their MANNERS!

Christ, Orrex, get some perspective.

[Orrex]

4. Why do they have to be so gosh dang uppity about it?

[Bonobo]

6. It's a serious issue.

I misread your post!


Sorry!

[Bonobo]

7. I just read the body of your post and I guess I was wrong. Sorry, man!

I jumped the gun!!!!

Mi dispiace!

[Orrex]

8. No harm!

I wasn't quite sure whether you were playing along or not.

It's all good!

9. Re-reading, I see where you thought that. Again, sorry.

5. Credo is a good bunch

with a spotty record, unfortunately.

This one is a winner, though, and I'll be signing and donating when I check my email later this evening.

I'd actually thought of doing the same thing, myself.

11. What's spotty about Credo's record?

I've had my long-distance phone service with them for quite some time.

10. Remember when Newt said women couldn't go into combat?

Because after a month in a trench, they got "infections"????

Newt didn't know the diff between a normal period and an infection.

I thought we should have all sent him a used tampon or bloody pad to educate him.

These idiots, even the doctors like Frist and Coburn, don't know SHIT about women's bodies.

12. That's *MY* long-distance company and I'm damned proud of them!

If they ask me to contribute on this month's bill, *COUNT ME IN*!

And any (non-sarcastic) naysayers can go (bleep) yourselves! Women's
rights *ARE NOT DISPOSABLE FOR YOUR POLITICAL PLEASURE*.
