Contraception defined as abortion?!

Contraception defined as abortion?!

What. The. Fuck.

Are they INSANE? What about all those countries all over the world that need American aid money, and women's clinics? What are they supposed to do, just hand out Pap smears and advocate pulling out? The global gag rule is bad enough. This? This is just beyond STUPID.

The world is already suffering from overpopulation. The last thing we need is more unwanted, unplanned-for babies.

Tell that to President Bush, and if you've got the cash to spare, make a donation to help Planned Parenthood fight it.

As a friend said. Just wait. Soon it'll be against the law for me not to have sex. I AM KILLING BABIES BY NOT HAVING SEX!11

...As an asexual, I wonder if I could sue them for discrimination against sexual minorities if that happened? Is 'sexual minorities' even a phrase? It's too early in the morning to be trying to figure this out.

What did you expect with the Bushmeister i office?

All the extremists thinks that now is the time to get their pet idiocy through as law...

My advice to any thinking American is to get the H! out of there while they still can...
(Before emigration is outlawed, too... )

I have very low expectations of Bush as a president, but OUTLAWING CONTRACEPTION? There's just a level of insanity there that does not compute. Seriously, are we trying to go BACKWARDS? We advance our technology to the point that women don't have to get pregnant unless they want to, and now we're taking away that ability? I seriously don't understand how they think that this is a good idea at all.

In a few years only white males owning a rifle will be able to vote, and then you won't have to worry that pretty little head of yours about this.

That was irony/sarcasm/prophecy/whatever scares you the most...

Thank [Insert preferred Deity here] that I live in a democracy where free speech still exists...
(All right, Constitutional Monarchy since we voted to import a king back when we kicked the Swedes out back in 1905.)

Just don't tell the Bushmonger that it's possible to be voted King...

It's possible to be voted -King-? I thought you actually had to already have a monarchy in place or something.

Not really...

When we kicked out the Swedes in 1905 there was held a vote and about 99.something% of the votes was to stay a monarchy. Then we just needed to find the right person, and since we didn't have much blue blood*, it was decided to 'import' some, and an invitation was sent to a Danish Prince. As he already had a son, it was a two-for-one bargain, too.
(Succession guarranteed, or the money back... ;-)

* Search far enough back into someone's history and you'll be certain to find one of more kings. The vikings probably didn't have much else to do in the evening... And most of them admitted to their 'bastard' children...

... Fickle, can we just move to Canada? Or Australia? :P
Seriously, though, I fucking HATE this pathetic shit.

I vote yes. A major yes. A major, major yes. Though running away just means this country'll go to hell even faster without people like us to protest when this sort of idiocy is pulled.

Oh my god! I don't comment much but geez am I glad to have you on my f-list. I would have never known.

And my grandfather wonders why I'm always ranting against this country! This is why! They're trying to tell me I can't prevent myself from being pregnant! What's next?! Banning condoms!?

Canada, here I come.

Haven't the pope already banned them?

*Sigh*

I F! hate extremists...

Has he? Geez, I'm reaaaally glad I didn't switch to Catholicism in that one moment of idiocy a few years back. I'll just stay agnostic.
