It’s in keeping with the conservative idea of small government, and minimal interference in personal freedoms.

Well, ovum are very small so this fits within the bounds of “small government” because we’re governing small things. Why? What did you think we meant by the “small government” phrase we’ve been saying all of these years? -Conservatives probably

The brain trust should streamline ejaculation surveillance programs instead. Ejaculation without a pregnancy? Right to jail. Right away.

shifted away from being more anarchistic in nature to authoritarian. its going to see the split between libertarians (who are more anarchistic) and religious fundamentalists (who are more authoritarian)

Let’s hope that split is enough for the spoiler effect to ruin both their chances. Maybe once it’s no longer political suicide, the progressives can push their points harder.

I don’t think you understand how many oppressive shitty people are in this country. The Taliban are alive and well here in America.

Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf of the Southern policies of Jim Crow as an inspiration for Germany’s genetic policies.

We needed to finish reconstruction, instead we let the filth slime back into power.

Thanks to the electoral college, they don’t need to be a majority to get a Trump presidency.

Nah, this is due to their base’s support being absolutely unwavering. This is a level of propagandistic control never before seen in the United States. Joseph Goebbels would fucking blush.

Nah, it’s more like when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

Conservatives only have one play, it’s to just keep going more right (as in, privatize things more and more to keep “fixing” things).

They have already gone after abortion.

What’s that? Fertility rate is low? We just got to try harder!

This is gross and weird, and I can’t understand the psychology that goes on inside of people who are so lacking and self-awareness and are this messed up in the head.

“Early menopause? Nah, we think you have had 4 abortions this year. Prove you didn’t or go to prison.”

I guess we shouldn’t expect better from the party of bad female anatomy, sex education repression, and couch fucking. Weirdos.

The party that believes that a successful pregnancy is proof that women weren’t legitimately raped

Todd Akin, Missouri’s Republican Senate candidate, sparked controversy with a claim, made in a TV interview posted Sunday, that victims of “legitimate rape” very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so.

Speaking to Charles Jaco on the Jaco Report on St. Louis’s Fox station, Akin was answering a question about allowing abortions in the case of rape. He said, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

https://www.politico.com/story/2012/08/akin-legitimate-rape-victims-dont-get-pregnant-079864

Todd Akin did apologize and then decided to make it worse.

In July 2014, WND Books published Akin’s book, Firing Back: Taking on the Party Bosses and Media Elite to Protect Our Faith and Freedom. In it, he said that he regretted apologizing, because “by asking the public at large for forgiveness, I was validating the willful misinterpretation of what I had said.” He also defended his original comments and attacked various Republicans for “wronging” him…
