If it's illegal, what's the punishment?

My intrepid sister-in-law found the following YouTube video and sent it around for comment.

Take a look, I thought this was very interesting...



What a FANTASTIC point this filmmaker addresses! If abortion is murder as they say, the taking of a life, then it would be homicide. From a legal perspective, there would not be no difference, right?

So, really, this wonderful video highlights exactly what's wrong with the Pro-Life movement: they don't care about women. It's all about the unborn babies. These people have been involved in this movement for years, and never even thought of the consequences to women who have illegal abortions.

Is a fetus more important than a woman? Be careful who you ask on that one...

Aren't a high percentage of pro-lifers also big supporters of the military? Is this the fisherman's rule? Throw 'em back when they're young so they can grow up to be dead soldiers?
And aren't a lot of these fetus-loving people also in favor of the death penalty? Hahahaha! Now that's hysterical! ">
Only religion can F with your head so badly that you can rationalize such diametrically opposite positions.

I know how to solve this problem. Let's just tell the crazy Christians that the babies that have been aborted, and will be aborted were GAY. Betcha they stop complaining so much!

Save me Jeebus,

Why Conservatives Suck

Why Tuesday Will Be So Sweet

I recently read a wonderful blog that beautifully summarizes what I've known all along: that in a historical context, conservatives are anti-American, greedy, selfish A-holes. "Oh now, come on," you say, "Obama is about to take office next week, why talk trash now?" Because it's important to see just how screwed up the conservative ideology really is. Please take a moment to read Robert Creamer's excellent article, and you'll see that wingnuts like Sean Hannity are just warmed-over Tories and Confederates. He quotes author Mike Lux from his new book The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be to show just how base conservatives have been historically, and how even though you hear a lot of BS from Republicans about patriotism, it is the Progressives who founded this country.

Progressives invented the American ideal and inspired the American
Revolution. Conservatives, then known as Tories, opposed it. Since then,
every major advancement in American freedom, democracy, social justice,
and economic opportunity has been fostered, fought for, and won by
progressives against conservative resistance. Now who's anti-American?

I've always felt there was something wrong about conservatives. Something just fundamentally incorrect about their ideology. These are people who always think they are right, who never question themselves or reflect on the consequences of their actions. They're selfish people who have used race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, you name it, to divide this country. Here's to the Obama era: a time of healing, rebuilding, and the awakening of decency in America. And the marginalization of Fox News, right-wing radio, and that crazy dude with the long hair (take your pick: Ted Nugent or Ann Coulter).

Peace.
