Baby Arms

Recently I sent a letter to the editor about the Roe V. Wade Anniversary. I TRIED to re frame the debate away from abortion, you know focus privacy and prevention. Yesterday, someone was kind enough to send me a copy of my LTE with a bad photocopy of dismembered baby arms next to a dime, they were gracious enough to scrawl a note at the bottom "This is fact". Sadly, the mailer did not provide me with their return address so I could thank them for the copy of my LTE.

Baby arms. You CAN NOT talk to those people about anything. Not prevention (birth control and sex education), not women's rights, not minority rights, all you get back is fucking baby arms.

I wish I could write back to baby arms thanking her (I assume it is a her, the handwriting was might fancy) for changing my life. Who would have known that baby arms would change my years of pro-choiceness. SERIOUSLY. They use this "baby killer" business to keep pro-choicers afraid to be openly pro-choice.

Speaking of baby arms, Rick "baby arms" Jore the no talent assclown from Lake County is having his first hearing on his "Life Begins at Conception" CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Did you catch the constitutional amendment part? Yeah. Think about it. It will only be used to criminalize pregnant women. Bad news.

Oh and there is this new doozie. A full abortion ban because - get this - women OWE it to the State of Montana to produce workers. Ladies hear me now, you don't own that little fleshy babymaker that is in your tummy. It belongs to the welfare of the State of Montana. HURRY - Go make yourself some white baby workers.

WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Montana believes it has a compelling state interest in increasing the birth rate over the next two decades to ensure that the state has enough people of working age to prevent a labor shortage; and . . .
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Montana wishes to accomplish the goals of promoting a balanced population, increasing the state birth rate, and promoting the birth of all of the state's posterity.

Wow. That's all I can say. The rage in me is rendering me speechless.

The same type of person who sent you this photo probably also believes that "Jesus" says it is ok to kill abortion doctors. There are some crazy people out there. I'm not too thrilled with the IR for mandating that people print their address with their submittals. It seems like a potentially dangerous thing to do, and it also prevents a lot of people from writing in. Connie, I'm glad you had the balls to write about this subject because someone needed to.

Yeah, next time, I am going to make up a P.O. Box address like all of those wacko LTE writers do.

Fuck that noise.
