Video: Why Buffer Zones are Needed For Women's Reproductive Clinics. Yes, that is a body being covered in the picture.

Rachel Maddow explains the kinds of threatening, even murderous tactics that "pro-life" jihadists have used at women's clinics that show why buffer zones are needed. BTW, that picture to the right is a dead body being covered. Yeah That Happens, SCOTUS! Free speech, my ass!

Democrats Leave National Prayer Breakfast as James Dobson Pledges Tax Rebellion Against Obamacare Because of Contraception

What are you looking at?, ask the squirrels.   It's not us going off on a partisan rant at a supposedly bipartisan breakfast.

Janice Hahn left the Breakfast as the unelected Dobson declared a Civil Disobedience against Obamacare because of the dispersal of contraception which hardliners call a form of abortion.
He also called Obama "the abortion president".

According to the Daily Breeze

Specifically, Dobson took the Obama administration to task over the Obamacare mandate that employers, including Dobson's organization, must provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and other contraceptives or face a fine.
During his remarks, Dobson read a letter he sent to his supporters and political leaders stating that the "assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go," adding that as a matter of religious conviction and conscience that he would refuse to pay the fine.
Many in the audience gave Dobson a standing ovation.

Another Congressional also walked out.

The Breeze covers much of Hahn's district.

If a group is going to host a bipartisan breakfast, but allow a rant by a extreme idealogue they shouldn't they should be sidelined.  And an anti-women agenda is not a valid position by a national group in a real democracy.

 

Help in South Texas For Women Who Self Induce Abortion Disappearing.

Apparently the women slavers in Texas have forced the last doctor helping women who induce their own abortions to quit.

The upstanding rights haters who have forced them into the desperate positions have apparently been able to shut down another helper, the last one for the Rio Grande Valley.

It is so hypocritical since the only possible use they could have to millions of unwanted babies is to build a massive military. So if they want to talk about killing, they should be looking in the mirror.  (And most likely they stood solidly behind George W. Bush's war on Iraq.

And if the GOP have control of the nation 20 years from now, they'll be selling those kids they forced to be born to the highest (campaign donation) bidders for more war.

But some people are still teaching the women of the Rio Grande to stick up for themselves in life and now in politics.

Oops maybe the TX legislative GOP kommandants will have to ban that too in their 2015 session.

(Like the Bible says.  "If you trouble your own house, you will inherit the wind."  The word wind was actually translatible as "whirlwind" not a nice breeze, and yes they have tornadoes in the Middle East.  See T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom)(Psst yeah read it anyway.  It is fantastic.)

Oh Hey, Big Biz, Great Work on Arizona's SB 1062. But Please Notice All the Bills Against Minority and Women's Rights, Too

Above picture from AZ state fair.

Fairs and carnivals rely on tricking the eye into seeing great things through cheap and easily obtained goods.  So do business and politics.

Big Business has just shown that it has the key to ending that practice.  It's time for them to use it!

And though SB1062 had to be stopped to protect a decent administration of democratic ideals, many more bills have been passed and/or allowed to remain on the books that directly harm women and minorities and therefore their children too.

WHERE IS BIG BUSINESS ON THOSE ISSUES?????

From an earlier posting on my other blog that is inferior to this host, except that they allow me to write via app:

A lot of big names contacted the governor to veto the bill according the article linked here

Funny, why couldn’t they also have stopped anti women legislation that the GOP have been recently installing? 

Those are similar religion versus human rights fights.

Really!  Excuse Me!  We’re here too!!!!

I do not wish less for my gay friends and relatives, nor for those I don’t know, but why can’t business & the NFL threaten states over women’s rights to freedom from unwanted, unaffordable, pregnancy, and hey, pushed harder to end discrimination of minorities and women for the last few decades?

It was likely the ability of the haters to earlier push and enact such hateful legislation aimed at crippling womens’ rights based on religion that led to legislators thinking they could also cause great harm to our LGBT members and friends and their families.

It’s time for business to stand up for women, and, BTW, minority and ex prisoners rights.
Those celebrities who pushed on business to defeat SB1062  please help defeat the other great injustices pushed into law both recently and in the 19th and 20th centuries.

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THEM ANY LONGER!

Intel, Microsoft, Apple, NFL, BofA, and all the rest of the business community.  It’s time to show you’re not hypocrites.  Stand with real Americans as we really are.

Yes, it will benefit your bottom line too:

Income inequality is built with all these prejudices and harmful laws and that is very bad for business!!  The wealthy would rather buy Congress members and state government officials, not your products.

Now that you’ve seen how awful religious dictates and backward looking practices in our government are, fight to end them for ALL OF US!

And stop giving campaign contributions to those who vote to keep and increase the inequality.

You've shown you can hit those home runs and will, even at the cost of a little blowback from a few "Christian" groups.  It's now time to show you care about all of us.

One example of ongoing discrimination against women is the laws aimed at denying them access to abortion and even aid for women who self induce after Texas cut availability of birth control and caused a disappearance of all abortion providers in their state:  Help in South Texas For Women Who Self Induce Abortion Disappearing.

The Truth About Food Stamps

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Typical right wing BS starts this video,..  The Congressman  finds a father who works hard for a living and wife that isn't fat because she mixes in just enough hamburger or even beans to the spaghetti and cheap sauce to keep the family healthy and then he uses that example to actually claim that the couple is committing food stamp fraud because they can get a decent exercise outfit out of the thrift store at 1/10th of a discount store). (but don't worry because he's probably lying anyway as Reagan once did over the "young buck buying steak" and "welfare queens" he often talked about. (We forgive the former president  because of his Alzheimer's problems that began to affect his thinking decades before his death.)

Funny how the GOP is starting this jihad against the poor, right after they forced millions of women into childbirth of mouths they can't feed, since their creepy anti-abortion laws have made it nearly impossible, especially for working class and poor women to get an abortion.

Of course they want to change the subject so they can win the next election, even though they have harmed women, men, and their families with their anti-woman jihad but all they have to do is get the white men and women to blame minorities and the young and they surge back to more power in 2014! (plus they have their installed state wide Gerrymandering gambits, but they need an excuse for winning n inordinate number of races).  Notice the front row of the Congressman's audience is all white women.  Women of all types have been particularly hard hit by repeated attacks by the Republican party on what used to be called the middle class, but is increasingly the working class as GOP policies took money from the middle class (by destroying unions, refusing to raise the minimum wage, throwing out massive tax cuts for fat cats who then buy up and install an increasingly affluent white male Congress and state legislatures and expand proven Gerrymandering to keep them that way).  Then they stand up there pretending that they are working class too though the US gives each US Congressman $170,000 per year or more (I haven't kept up with the boosts for inflation) for about less than 30 weeks of work, and reimburses for all their necessary travel to attend to their legislative duties in DC and at home, and get a stipend they can use for DC residence though that money isn't dependent on how or where they live which is why some live in their offices. 

( Former Rep Ron Paul was allegedly accused by a former supporter of double dipping by getting money from a group the advocated for him and the US Treasury-- which the former Congressman says was a mistake and fixed -- I don't mean to claim Congressman Paul acted unethically, but with all the whining by Congress about how their salaries have to cover travel, and a DC address, I had thought the folks needed that $170+k. )

At least now the GOP can't be so obvious about the race of aid recipients.  We were too quiet in the 80s, because we didn't have the Internet to talk back to the Mainstream news that wouldn't fight the battle for truth and risk their big salaries.  Now at least they have to let their racist followers decide in their own mind that aid recipients are of dark skin, and show one white surfer on food stamps to imply there is a massive scamming of the program.

What is actually creepy, is that more and more farms are owned by mega corporations, and farm subsidies have been shown to promote scamming by farmers big and small with the plowing of unusable land to get more money (a gambit I bet is used more by corporations than family based farm groups). but farm subsidies have to be increased while GOP candidates get as close to the Strapping Young Buck and Welfare Queen crap fed to ailing President Reagan and from him to the public in the 80s and plot to take away food stamps from struggling families.
