Meat Incubatorist aka Rep Marhal says Palin had an Abortion

Wow, this blog is pretty political...only thing to do is polarize it more!  I won't be happy until I'm getting hate mail damn it!



Yup, a law in Utah now makes it possible for women to be investigated upon having a miscarriage.  Any attempt to abort outside of medical is illegal and the women themselves are to blame.  Since the potential things that could cause miscarriage include booze, coffee, horseback riding, driving on bumpy roads, handling cat poop, this just opens a Pandora's box (or should that be Pandora's womb?) of potential problems.  Imagine, woman has a miscarriage...huge fucking disappointment and basically DEATH OF HER SOUL...and the police now (if the law is followed correctly and not selectively enforced) now HAVE to investigate it.  They'll have to see, did she drink coffee a lot, what did she do to cause this miscarriage?  Yes, a grieving ex-mother will now have to be cross examined and drilled to see "How is it YOUR fault".  Beautiful message.

 What about the rights of that little girl!?


For more fun... The sentence is a potential life in prison.  I'm fairly sure a good deal of rapists get away with less.  So this means if a woman is raped, and throws herself down a flight of stairs in depression, miscarrying the fetus, SHE can face a greater sentence than her rapist...

yay?

Seems to me that this is more of a...miscarrage of justice
 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH





It's worth noting that Marshall has a history of saying offensive things - or being "misinterpreted."
He said this about abortion in the case of rape: "[T]he woman becomes a sin-bearer of the crime, because the right of a child predominates over the embarrassment of the woman."
And he said this about contraception: "[W]e have no business passing this garbage out and making these co-eds chemical Love Canals for these frat house playboys in Virginia."
He claims he was "misinterpreted" or "misquoted"...personally I think was "miscarried" .  how can you read anything else in that quotes other than "Women are meat incubators...".  He supports forced reproductive slavery across the board!  Woman may in fact be raped if you want them to carry your spawn; a little embarrassment for them is no reason not to propagate your genes.  Oh imagine a romcom about this!?  "Made to Love You" we'd call it, and it'd be a woman living with a douche who raped her at a frat party and she's trying to make it work so the future child will have a daddy!  Hilarious hyjinks ensue!

Women can't abort because...you know they're property and God will smite them with horrible deformed or stupid babies.   Following this logic we know two things

A) Sarah Palin had an abortion at least once to trigger Trig...probably why she is so justly anti-abortion for her daughter, doesn't want her saddled with a little ree-ree like she was
B) Sarah Palin's mother had had an abortion.

Sorry Sarah, but "Retarded" is the only way to describe this mindset. 

I'd like to say this guy is a nut in his own party...but I can't.  The right is getting more and more extreme.  The teabaggers are not fringe, they are mainstream, as is economic retard Ron Paul, as is the anti-semetic conspiracy theorist John Birch society.  Fuck, we're a few months away from the RNC inviting other previously banished movements.  Let's get the KKK back in!  Maybe the Know Nothings?  Hahahaha.

If you thought any part of the Bush years was sub par, you're in for a good time.  Cause next time a republican wins, It'll be worse.  It'll be more insane, filled with more conspiracy theory, anti-evidence, nut bags who think Glen Beck is the talking Anus of The All Mighty.



Gah, makes you envy the miscarried now doesn't it?

Evolution Primer 1: Random Selection

My arguement with a biological and chemical illiterate.  The idea of chaotic systems going into ordered results is hard to grasp for many so I'll post it here to try to give a layman explanation/primer.

 Creationist says: Evolution is just a miss understanding of adaption.  To go fromt hat to things randomly happen is just stupid'
If you can't spell Misunderstanding you really shouldn't be criticizing others on their 'miss understanding'

I fail to see how understanding females plays into evolution on the whole.

Random SELECTION means that you keep every 6 on a die roll and ignore say every other one. That makes it possible to get say 666 dice rolls all saying 6. It's random chance with natural limits imposing on it gaining an order from chaos.

It's the same process from which we get complex ice crystals form disorganized randomly moving water molecules. They can form ANY possible combination...but only certain ones will remains, unstable combination are promptly re-broken as the chemical forms it's lowest stable state. Same way proteins fold themselves. The protein can in theory can take innumerable 3D shapes but only a few are stable enough to remain, so it shuffles till it gets into one that sticks.




What creatonist's understand that evolution does not explain how life started, just why it is diverse...However, it should be noted that random selection is more or less the same underlying paradigm that appears to be the process behind abiogenesis. In the right conditions you can get random chemical formations, but only a few will self propagate which form the building blocks of life which progressively clanked around until they formed what we know as life. Life is just as random as any other chemical possibility, the fact that it self propagates is what caused it to be 'selected'
 Creationist
lol thats your basis ? complex ice crystals form disorganized to an untrained eye of course , because of your flaws you draw basless conclusions about disorganized? when you can easily say organized using a method which only looks disorganized? are you kidding me ? are just pulling my leg here , like really =p you still kids thinking you know with your 3 pound brains , when its nothing more then evidence in your preception

No, to an eye that is trained in chemistry and organic chemistry. The foundations of chemistry are themselves based on an unguided random selection. Molecules make many bonds and formations as they react, but the ones that are the final products are the ones that are most stable (simplified explanation) the process is chaotic, the result is ordered both from observation and in many cases by definition (3 molecules go to 1 is a decrease in a system disorder)

MY COOL ENTOMOLOGY PHOTOS








Yes I cheated by putting in a  spider, sue me









This one is my favorite.  That's two mosquito nerrids from two different instars, the larger one about ready to pupate, and they are living and have lived their entire lives so far in just the water suspended by surface tension between the engravings of my deck table....they are amazingly hardy little buggers.

Caddisflies Make Jewlry

Check out the article here! They're like tiny insect Liz's


"



Duprat, who was born in 1957, began working with caddis fly larvae in the early 1980s. An avid naturalist since childhood, he was aware of the caddis fly in its role as a favored bait for trout fishermen, but his idea for the project depicted here began, he has said, after observing prospectors panning for gold in the Ariège river in southwestern France. After collecting the larvae from their normal environments, he relocates them to his studio where he gently removes their own natural cases and then places them in aquaria that he fills with alternative materials from which they can begin to recreate their protective sheaths. He began with only gold spangles but has since also added the kinds of semi-precious and precious stones (including turquoise, opals, lapis lazuli and coral, as well as pearls, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds) seen here. The insects do not always incorporate all the available materials into their case designs, and certain larvae, Duprat notes, seem to have better facility with some materials than with others. Additionally, cases built by one insect and then discarded when it evolves into its fly state are sometimes recovered by other larvae, who may repurpose it by adding to or altering its size and form.

You can even buy some here  it's awesome!
