So.

Does that mean they get to choose the receipe?

I might have issues with that.

I'm pretty picky about sauces.

And seasoning.

And, for that matter, the marinade.

If they can tell you what life saving, legal and accepted medical procedures you may or may not have, if they can compel treatment while you are mentally competent to refuse, then it is no exaggeration at all to say that they own your flesh. Isn't that sensational?

It is also not in anyway exceptional. Since Governments can send you to war, they've always assumed that your body is theirs to do with as they will. Governments are never to be completely trusted and always to be pruned as needed.

No, you're aware that you're being told there's a rash of anti-woman bills.

Here's a perfect example: Those hearings were not about woman's contraception, they were about medical coverage for a variety of issues, contraception just happened to be the issue that you were told they were about.

Looked it up, not death panels....not at least until I'm appointed to the board.

One question though; names, SS numbers or pictures on my dartboard? Or should I just pick a name out of the phonebook that makes me giggle the least?

Maybe she's talking about this rash some of which I don't disagree with...some I do

Only a fight in the senate put a medical clause for docs to do one if necessary. While a woman cannot abort neither can she collect unemployment and feed the kid

Nice.
Yeah, how could such a bill possibly be defined as "anti-woman"? A bill which declares that pregnancy begins "two weeks before conception"... in other words, that non-pregnant women (including virgins) are actually pregnant and that the state therefore has a compelling interest in their reproductive organs and in whether or when they are menstruating (menstruation takes place two weeks before conception).

This is what I'm talking about when I say the bills being introduced are not only increasingly blatantly misogynistic but also increasingly outlandish. The sole purpose of these bills seems to be to establish the politician proposing them as a woman-hating uber-conservative extremist, which is apparently a desirable thing to be these days if one is a republican.

I mean, these bills are offensive, and whether or not they pass, they certainly add fuel to the general woman-hating climate within the GOP party (as well as the conservative-hating climate among liberal democrats).
What's next, a quasi-serious proposal that women wear dog collars and walk on all fours?
Do you not get that these proposals are offensive?
They are as offensive to me as it would be to black people if bills were being proposed that they should all be branded like slaves. Even though the bills would not pass, they would be an insult, a slap in the face; and the party proposing them would be considered an ugly joke by the rest of the nation, which is pretty much what's happened to the GOP... and since their weird-ass proposals all have to do with invasive micromanagement of women's sexual organs, they're coming to be seen as a bunch of perverted freaks, as well.
An obscene joke: that's today's GOP.

To be fair, 10, isn't that when most pregnancies are dated?

Sltwn, I am working hard to control my temper here.
I want you to put on your little thinking cap, stop doing whatever else you are doing that is preventing you from thinking clearly, and seriously consider, for a moment, the implications of a law which states that pregnancy begins two weeks (or two months, or two years, or two days, or any amount of time) before conception. A law which states that non-pregnant women are actually pregnant.

Can you do that? Can you think really hard about what the implications of such a law would be?
