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!

Utah: It is a crime to miscarry.

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

Bob Marshal: God's punishment for electing morons

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?

Authoritarianism Can Be Parochial

Sf writer David Nickle writes,

Hugo-award-nominated science fiction author Dr. Peter Watts is in serious legal trouble after he was beaten, pepper-sprayed and imprisoned by American border guards at a Canada U.S. border crossing December 8. This is a call to friends, fans and colleagues to help. Peter, a Canadian citizen, was on his way back to Canada after helping a friend move house to Nebraska over the weekend. He was stopped at the border crossing at Port Huron, Michigan by U.S. border police for a search of his rental vehicle. When Peter got out of the car and questioned the nature of the search, the gang of border guards subjected him to a beating, restrained him and pepper sprayed him. At the end of it, local police laid a felony charge of assault against a federal officer against Peter. On Wednesday, he posted bond and walked was taken across the border to Canada in shirtsleeves (he was released by Port Huron officials with his car and possessions locked in impound, into a winter storm that evening). He's home safe. For now. But he has to go back to Michigan to face the charge brought against him.
The charge is spurious. But it's also very serious. It could mean two years in prison in the United States, and a ban on travel in that country for the rest of Peter's life. Peter is mounting a vigorous defense, but it's going to be expensive - he's effectively going up against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and he needs the best legal help that he can get.
He's got that help, courtesy of one of the top criminal lawyers in the State of Michigan. We, Peter's friends and colleagues here in Canada, want to make sure he gets the help he needs financially to come out of this nightmare whole.
The need for that help is real. While Peter is a critically successful science fiction writer, he is by no means a best-selling author. Without help, the weight of his legal fees could literally put him on the street by spring.

"Who Watches the Watchmen?" springs to mind.  The idea our culture has of authoritarian tyranny is of a widespread systematic oppression.  However, as the above indicates, small localized abuses of power and smug douchery can be just as dangerous and even more insidious.  Fiction does abound with the small town Sherif, big fish in a small pond, despot.  The 'untouchable' status of homeland security and other systems is giving them a lot of power and little over sight.   Everyone is concerned about those damn foreigners, illegal immigrants that we're willing to let a few innocents get their heads smashed in why not.  The fact that police both local and apparently federal have a disturbingly common disposition that they can push around and bully low wage people is problematic.  I have seen the traffic cops feel free to be down right nasty and harsh as all hell on lower or middle class folks, they know that they can't afford the legal dues to actually get justice.  This is the same thing.  Peter Watts does well for himself, but he's not wealthy and can't take on their authority all that well.  That's what this abuse relies on...we don't have the coin to pay for the justice.  It's sick and the way the police disproportionately lays the lawhammer down on the lower and lower middle classes than it does the upper or white color is generating a disrespect for their authority.  We don't see police as defenders of our rights or laws.  We lower folks see them as nuisances, bullies to avoid.  Dicks with guns who will jump with glee the second you step out of line and hit you with every alphabet soup violation they can catch you on.  Meanwhile, Bankers and CEOS steal billions.  ENRON guys more or less got away scottfree, Exxon gets away with international crimes, etc.  Hell the only reason they cared at all about Bernie Madoff is because he attacked rich people.  With the common joe getting the short stick of the law, taking more of the burdens that come from a lawful society while reaping less of the benefits it's no wonder inner-cities have a 'stop snitching' campaign.  More and more in this country we are growing to fear and despise our police instead of rely on them.  The little bits the MAN does, blue sheild, looking the other way for rich folk, letting permits slide for upscale establishments, focusing on drugs and prostitution and traffic tickets instead of grand larceny or murder, add up.  The law seems to be stacked against most people and this is a problem.  Above the police were able to be as dickish as possible and for their dirty actions they get to lay down an arrest and smugly go home at night.  In the end we need someone to watch our watchmen, to help insure they won't disperse 'justice' just because they know their victims can't afford to challenge them.



Edit: the apologist comments are really disgusting.  Regardless if someone was snarky or mouthed off, police do NOT have the right to beat them up, mace them, and abandon them in the snow.  Innocent until proven guilty and free speech and all that shit no one actually cares about.  

But They'd Let Him Use Their Bathroom...

The Teabaggers really don't help themselves when they're left to their own devices do they?

Jee, I WANDER WHY THESE PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT!?

Conversatives Are Indeed Concerned about Rape.

Anyway thoughts, Honey?

One Nation Under the Elder God

Thanks to scriber, Sparrowhawk for bringing up this take on the amazing One Nation Under God painting.

I am so hoping to take both to Kinkos and make a table art piece.  A folding frame with one print on the left and the other on the right.  I don't know what's better...the Deep One soldier or the Zombie Abe Lincoln.

Anti-Life Agenda: Human Debris

Time for some liberal rage!  Grab your commie socialist decoder rings and sing along!



Kurt in the above clip sums it up perfectly well. These people are super villians.
They lack the snappy duds and absurd gimicks but their mentality is taken right out of a jerkass handbook

Cajuns care to be bred and SLAUGHTERED!

It's not about politics.  It's about right and wrong.  I have to admit it's frustrating how more and more life proves that even the most over the top super villain is well represented by flesh and blood individuals.  As brutal and horrific as Norman Osborn or Red Skull or the like are you can find real people like them.  In many ways our world is at a disadvantage...our monsters don't have the decency to wear masks.

The Anti-Life Agenda

Most people believe health care reform myths.  So nice that good christian folk like Palin and Beck are working so hard to keep people like me and my girlfriend from getting health treatments.  Granted it looks like both of us will be starting new careers so we're safe, but I'm not happy just because it looks like I got mine!  It is a damn good possibility that Beck and Palin will leave a lasting legacy of shooting down this health care bill.  Their impact on the world will be preventing many people from getting treatment they need.  The world will be objectively a worse place because they were a part of it.  Christianity is claimed to be all about the charity, but this is as far from charity as you can get.  This is Anti-Charity, it supports an anti-life agenda and is anti-compassionate.

Anti-life justifies their hate.
