It's Not About Babies

It was never about babies.


And just where the fuck did anybody think this shit was headed?


Stacey Freeman was incarcerated for using drugs during pregnancy. But she wasn't pregnant.

Freeman, who lives in Gallant, Alabama, was being investigated by the Etowah County Department of Human Resources (DHR) for alleged drug use in January. During the investigation, one of her daughters told a DHR worker her mother was pregnant, according to a lawsuit Freeman filed against the Etowah County Sheriff's Office on November 7.

A caseworker confronted Freeman, who denied that she was pregnant and offered to take a pregnancy test at the courthouse. She did not get one.

Instead, the mother was arrested for chemical endangerment of a child and booked into the Etowah County Detention Center. She was left to sleep on the jail floor for 36 hours. Meanwhile, she was undergoing her menstrual cycle and asked for pads, which never came. She was told that her bond would be $10,000.

"It's just not even thinkable you could go off somebody's word to make an arrest of somebody being pregnant," Freeman's attorney Martin Weinberg told Newsweek. "You know, you're criminalizing pregnancy, then you find out they're not even pregnant."

The chemical endangerment of a child charge is based on the principle of "fetal personhood," a provision enshrined in the Alabama constitution. Since 2010, Etowah County has prosecuted more than 150 chemical endangerment cases involving pregnant and postpartum women, according to Weinberg.

Each of these women was held on a $10,000 cash bond and could not leave until they entered a drug rehabilitation program—bail conditions that are unconstitutional, said Freeman's lawsuit.

Over the last 23 years, prosecutors in Alabama have embraced some form of "fetal personhood" to bring criminal charges over a miscarriage or stillbirth in at least 20 felony cases, according to an analysis of court records and medical examiner data by The Marshall Project. Many of these prosecutions ended in lengthy prison sentences for women who were mostly poor and struggling with addiction.

Freeman was finally given a pregnancy test in her jail cell, which determined that she was not pregnant. She was questioned by Etowah County Sheriff Investigator Brandi Fuller for 20 minutes and allowed to leave—but not before the investigator "threatened, warned, and admonished Freeman" that she would be charged if Fuller discovered she was pregnant in the next several months, according to the lawsuit.

Weinberg said that Freeman has struggled with humiliation in her small, close-knit community since she was released.

"It's traumatizing, it's not something that somebody gets over," he said. "It's not a good thing for people to think you're on drugs and pregnant...she would not do that. That's her position, that 'I would not put somebody that I'm carrying to life in that position.'"

Newsweek reached out to the Etowah County Sheriff's Office for comment.

The Gov's Loves

Here's the thing: I don't care about this. I care that Kristi Noem is a blindly ambitious Trump-sucking lying sack of shit, and personally, I wouldn't fuck her with somebody else's dick, but she didn't ask me, so it's none of my fuckin' business who she physically fucks - I'm only interested in her not fucking us in ways that are political and financial and a few other figuratives.

That said, it's always a little interesting to watch when these weird little spats break out.


WaPo: (pay wall)

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem dismisses conservative website’s claims of extramarital affair with former Trump adviser

South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) on Wednesday dismissed a conservative media outlet’s claim that she is having an extramarital affair with Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump adviser who is also advising Noem.

“These rumors are total garbage and a disgusting lie,” Noem said in a tweet. “These old, tired attacks on conservative women are based on a falsehood that we can’t achieve anything without a man’s help. I love Bryon. I’m proud of the God-fearing family we’ve raised together. Now I’m getting back to work.”

A conservative website, American Greatness, published a piece Tuesday claiming that, according to “multiple” sources, Noem has been having an affair with Lewandowski “for months.” The website did not identify any of the sources.

Lewandowski was Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign manager. He was fired by the campaign in 2016 but remains part of the former president’s inner circle and ran the pro-Trump Make America Great Again Action super PAC.

Noem and Lewandowski have traveled extensively together across the country for political events, and he has promoted her to members of the media. At one event in January, they were spotted partying together late in a hotel bar.

Separately, a Trump donor is accusing Lewandowski of repeatedly groping her and making unwanted sexual comments at a charity event in Las Vegas last week.

“He repeatedly touched me inappropriately, said vile and disgusting things to me, stalked me, and made me feel violated and fearful,” the donor, Trashelle Odom, said in a statement provided to The Washington Post.

“Corey bragged multiple times about how powerful he is, and how he can get anyone elected, inferring he was the reason Trump became President,” she added. “Corey claimed that he controls access to the former president. He said he is in charge of the donors and the Super PAC. . . . He also made it clear that if he was crossed, he has the power to destroy anyone and ruin their lives.”

The accusations were first reported by Politico.

Late Wednesday, a spokesman for Trump said Lewandowski has been pushed out of the former president’s political operation after the allegations.

“Corey Lewandowski will be going on to other endeavors and we very much want to thank him for his service. He will no longer be associated with Trump World,” Taylor Budowich, Trump’s director of communications, wrote in a message on Twitter.

Budowich said former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi will run the pro-Trump super PAC.

John Odom, Odom’s husband, said that he wants “accountability now” from Lewandowski and that the couple is exploring their legal options “to make sure he cannot harm anyone else.”

“Corey called me on Monday evening,” John Odom said in a statement. “He sounded distraught and scared. He said he had been intoxicated. He was sorry for his actions, wanted to know how he could make it go away, and that he would do anything to make it right with Trashelle and our family.”

The Odoms’ statements were provided by a public relations person representing them. The couple themselves could not be reached for comment.

David Chesnoff, a Las Vegas-based attorney for Lewandowski, said in an email Wednesday afternoon: “Accusations and rumors appear to be morphing by the minute and we will not dignify them with a further response.”

Noem, who is considered a potential 2024 GOP vice-presidential contender, has recently come under scrutiny for a meeting she organized for her daughter and the state employee charged with leading the agency that moved to deny her application to become a certified real estate appraiser. The meeting prompted allegations of abuse of power among some state lawmakers, and South Dakota’s attorney general, Jason Ravnsborg, is reviewing the matter.

It’s not clear what steps Ravnsborg plans to take, and his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Noem reportedly organized a meeting in her office on July 27, 2020, to discuss “appraiser certification procedures” that included her daughter Kassidy Noem-Peters; Sherry Bren, head of the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation’s appraiser certification program; Bren’s supervisor; and South Dakota Labor Secretary Marcia Hultman.

While Noem’s daughter secured her certification months later, in November 2020, Bren says she was subsequently pushed to retire in a conversation with Hultman. That’s according to an age-discrimination complaint Bren eventually filed against the Department of Labor and Regulation.

Bren settled with the state for $200,000 on March 31, but the department did not admit fault, and she agreed not to disparage it in public, according to a copy of the complaint shared by South Dakota Public Broadcasting.

Cynical Mike says there's prob'ly not much beyond the sound and fury of it all, but that doesn't really matter. It's easy to see how maybe Lewandowski was tasked with wheedling his way in, getting kinda close with Noem - then making sure people picked up on how they seemed "a bit too close", which then creates a very convenient opportunity to slam a woman who's been making noises about challenging Trump for supremacy in the GOP.

Ain't it kinda funny:
Dems will fight each other hammer-n-tong about policy and approach, while Republicans seem to spend their time and energy concentrating on what everybody's doing with their slippery parts.

And also too - there's something oddly reassuring about how this story just ain't got the legs. Like maybe all this Make-Her-A-Slut-And-Then-Shame-Her-For-It nonsense is starting to lose its oomph as a political weapon. Worth pondering.

Today's Fallacy

Along the same lines, I gotta ask myself - how come we've seen the First Lady's tits, but not the president's tax records?


Some jagoff wrote an OpEd piece for WSJ that said, basically, Jill Biden should stop being so gosh darn smart with her high-falutin' credentials and all.

Of course the False Equivalence fallacy comes in, because corporate media need desperately to keep us convinced that it's all the same - both sides - if the left can slam Melania for being an apparent gold-digging, mail order sex doll dressed up as a fashion model when actually she's most likely a Kremlin plant to help them wrangle Donald Trump, then the right gets to bash a woman of real substance, and OK, we'll call it a draw.

It's just such bullshit. All day every day.

First:
Maybe the guy isn't someone to be referred to as "some jagoff", but sorry not sorry - you pull the kinda shit that guy pulled, and you demote yourself to the status of "some jagoff". That's not on me.


Today in unasked-for opinions offered apropos of nothing: One man is so agitated over Jill Biden’s designation as a doctor of education that he recently wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed advising her to “forthwith drop the doc.” Entitled, “Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not If You Need an M.D.,” the essay’s author — Joseph Epstein, formerly the editor of the American Scholar — argues that Biden’s title “sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic.” By his own admission, Epstein lacks “a doctorate or any advanced degree,” but seems to consider himself an expert on the matter nonetheless.

“Madame First Lady — Mrs. Biden — Jill — kiddo,” he opens his address to Biden, a 69-year-old woman. In short, Epstein believes “no one should call himself ‘Dr.’ unless he has delivered a child.” He also suggests that Biden’s Ed.D. inherently holds less prestige than a Ph.D., a degree that has in turn been “diminished by the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of standards in university education generally.” (At least in Epstein’s eyes.) And don’t even get him started on the purported farce that is the honorary doctorate!

To be clear, though, Biden’s doctorate is not honorary. She earned it, along with two Master’s Degrees, and plans to continue working as a community college professor during her time as First Lady, just as she did when she was Second Lady. No other FLOTUS has continued her pre-existing career while in office, and critics of the op-ed have decried it as emblematic of sexism in academia. On Twitter, where the piece has been trending after its publication on Friday, soon-to-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff speculated that “this story would never have been written about a man.”

Second:
"In this world, a woman has to be two things - 
who & what she wants."


Doctorate:
A doctorate (from Latin docere, "to teach") or doctor's degree (from Latin doctor, "teacher") or doctoral degree, is an academic degree awarded by universities, derived from the ancient formalism licentia docendi ("licence to teach"). In most countries, it is a research degree that qualifies the holder to teach at university level in the degree's field, or to work in a specific profession. There are a number of doctoral degrees; the most common is the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), which is awarded in many different fields, ranging from the humanities to scientific disciplines.

Well, Crap

...kinda crap anyway. I'm going to make a radical assumption and say she'll be around to aggravate the fuck outa people who desperately need the fuck aggravated out of them for quite a while.

Hope so.



In November 2019, as the Democratic presidential candidates prepared for the primaries that had been taking place unofficially for more than a year and that would begin in earnest in February, FiveThirtyEight’s Clare Malone profiled Pete Buttigieg. In the process, Malone spoke with two women at a Buttigieg event in New Hampshire. One liked Joe Biden, but felt he was a bit too old for the presidency. The other liked Buttigieg, without qualification: “I feel he’s well positioned,” she explained. “The country is ready for a more gentle approach.”

As for Elizabeth Warren? “When I hear her talk, I want to slap her, even when I agree with her.”

A version of that sentiment—Warren inspiring irrational animus among those whom she has sought as constituents—was a common refrain about the candidate, who announced today that she was suspending her campaign after a poor showing on Super Tuesday. This complaint tends to take on not the substance of Warren’s stated positions, but instead the style with which she delivers them. And it has been expressed by pundits as well as voters. Politico, in September, ran an article featuring quotes from Obama-administration officials calling Warren “sanctimonious” and a “narcissist.” The Boston Herald ran a story criticizing Warren’s “self-righteous, abrasive style.” The New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, in October, described Warren as “intensely alienating” and “a know-it-all.” Donny Deutsch, the MSNBC commentator, has dismissed Warren, the person and the candidate, as “unlikable”—and has attributedher failure to ingratiate herself to him as a result, specifically, of her “high-school principal” demeanor.
(“This is not a gender thing,” Deutsch insisted, perhaps recognizing that his complaint might read as very much a gender thing. “This is just kind of [a] tone and manner thing.”)


It never fails. When somebody starts with "This is not a gender thing..." you know good-n-goddamned well it's a gender thing - so fuck you Donny Deutsch.

The money quote:

"The campaigns of those who deviate from the traditional model of the American president - the campaign of anyone who is not white and Christian and male - will always carry more than their share of weight. But Warren had something about her, apparently: something that galled the pundits and the public in a way that led to assessments of her not just as “strident” and “shrill,” but also as “condescending.” The matter is not merely that the candidate is unlikable, these deployments of condescending imply. The matter is instead that her unlikability has a specific source, beyond bias and internalized misogyny. Warren knows a lot, and has accomplished a lot, and is extremely competent, "condescending" acknowledges, before twisting the knife: It is precisely because of those achievements that she represents a threat. "Condescending" attempts to rationalize an irrational prejudice. It suggests the lurchings of a zero-sum world - a physics in which the achievements of one person are insulting to everyone else.
When I hear her talk, I want to slap her, even when I agree with her.

To run for president is to endure a series of controlled humiliations. It is to gnaw on bulky pork products, before an audience at the Iowa State Fair. It is to be asked about one’s skin-care routine, and to be prepared to defend the answer. The accusation of condescension, however, is less about enforced humiliation than it is about enforced humility. It cannot be disentangled from Warren’s gender. The paradox is subtle, but punishing all the same: The harder she works to prove to the public that she is worthy of power—the more evidence she offers of her competence—the more “condescending,” allegedly, she becomes. And the more that other anxious quality, likability, will be called into question. Warren’s “‘my way or the highway’ approach to politics,” Joe Biden argued in November, attempting to turn what might also be called principle into a liability, is “condescending to the millions of Democrats who have a different view.”

We'd best be working on getting our heads out of our asses when it comes to our attitudes about leadership and competence and accomplishment.

We're not doing ourselves any favors by foreclosing on half the available talent pool.

Quiet Reminder

It's about making it harder for "lower class" women - poor women.

WaPo:

Even if the blue-noses manage to re-criminalize abortion, I can be on a plane to Montreal with my pregnant daughter tomorrow and get back with my un-pregnant daughter the day after that.

Women of means - ie: white middle class Republican women - will not suffer as much under the rule of these Daddy State assholes (or so they believe).

But make no mistake, all of us will suffer because of the fallout and "unintended" consequences of the special regulations imposed only on women, but designed to keep us all under control.

The Fifth Column - Justin King


Numbers, Chapter 5:

11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure—
15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offeringto draw attention to wrongdoing.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”—21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

Oh, Those Optics

“There is nothing independent about her opinion,” Fairstein said. “She is a hired gun giving an opinion for the side that hired her.”


If you're not the right person to question a witness in a Senate committee hearing, then you're not the right person to be a Senator. 

Please, Repubs - stop floating all that bullshit about how open and honest and fair you're trying to be.

Emma Brown and Seung Min Kim, WaPo:

The prosecutor hired by Republican senators to question Christine Blasey Ford has declared that Ford’s allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh are so weak that no “reasonable prosecutor” would pursue the case.

“A ‘he said, she said’ case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that,” Rachel Mitchell, a Repub­lican sex-crimes prosecutor from Arizona, wrote Sunday in a five-page memorandum, highlighting what she described as inconsistencies in Ford’s account and a lack of corroboration from potential witnesses.

Though Senate Republicans said the memo was helpful, legal experts from both political parties and advocates for victims of sexual assault on Monday questioned how Mitchell could reach such a conclusion without a fuller investigation and without the ability to cross-examine witnesses such as Mark Judge, the only other person Ford says was in the room when the alleged incident occurred in the summer of 1982.

“As a former prosecutor myself, I’ve come to no conclusion other than the conclusion that there needs to be more facts to come to a conclusion,” said Douglas Wigdor, an employment lawyer who has represented plaintiffs in sexual assault and harassment cases. Wigdor, a Republican, called the memo “a joke” and “preposterous.”

- and -

Tasha Menacker, chief strategy officer for the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, said she has heard survivors talking in recent days about how their experiences match the experience described by Ford, including an inability to pinpoint when their assault occurred or other such details.

“I’m afraid that survivors in Maricopa County are going to see this and relate to Dr. Ford, and be concerned about whether or not they would be believed,” she said. “Survivors are going to see this and say, ‘I wouldn’t be able to be consistent in my recollections either, remember specific dates either.’ ”

Matthew Long, a defense attorney who once worked for Mitchell as a sex-crimes prosecutor, was quoted as calling her “the best” in a story in a local newspaper last week, before the memo was issued. On Monday, Long said he was surprised to see that she cited Ford’s gaps in memory as evidence of the weakness of her allegation.

“The things that she’s highlighting that say that Dr. Ford is not credible are the very things she has taught me to ignore and not rely on,” he said in an interview. The memo, he said, “demonstrates she’s abandoned what she knows to be true in favor of being a political operative.”

Fake Jesus, Make It Stop


Brett Kavanaugh's support gang is not looking real supportive.

But let's talk about how eleven Shouty Old White Dudes managed to miss a great opportunity - and I'm not referring to how they failed to ask the right questions of a nominee who's "qualified" for SCOTUS, while being so totally fucking wrong for the job.

The committee had an expert witness in front of them for hours - someone who has academic credentials out the wazoo, who's a seasoned pro in a field of study that ties in perfectly with the experience of millions of sexual assault victims, and who knows a lot about the inner workings of the human brain - and sadly they missed the chance to ask her the one truly important question: "Dr Ford, please take a few minutes and explain to us why we're acting like such assholes about this whole thing."


And BTW - a coupla points about how Kavanaugh has such great regard for women that his staffers are almost exclusively female:

1 - why would a predator not surround himself with potential prey?

2 - The Charlie Wilson crap: "They can learn how to type, and do the filing - they can't learn how to grow tits."

Short Term Thinking

Republicans have allowed their rat-fuckers so much leeway to do their thing, the results are starting to eat away at their long-con strategy.

The story of Ed Whelan is a case-in-point.

Politico:

Ed Whelan may have just crossed a line he can’t jump back over.

Yesterday, Whelan, the president of the Ethics and & Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank, and an assertive supporter of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, took to Twitter to lay out a Hardy Boys-inspired scenario, suggesting that Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Kavanaugh of attempted rape in high school, might have been mistaken about the identity of her alleged sexual assaulter. Using a mash-up of yearbook photos, Zillow information, Google Maps and Facebook, Whelan laid out a “case” that another man, a former classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Georgetown Prep—whom he named and provided a current photograph of—might have been the person Ford has in mind. After his wild theory received widespread criticism, Whelan deleted the tweets, and tried to walk back the accusation this morning.

But, if it’s false, it’s already too late to protect him against a possible defamation claim.

The common law of defamation isn’t that complicated. To be liable, the defendant must make an intentionally or negligently false statement about the plaintiff that tends to cause reputational harm, and harm must actually ensue.

Desperate to fill the federal bench with guys like Kavanaugh, the Daddy Staters are throwing caution to the wind, and forgetting what their operatives are telling us thru their idiotic short-term tactics.

Ed Whalen's attempt to deflect from the Blasey-Ford issue isn't just stoopid on is face.

By mounting this bullshit Scooby-and-the-gang "defense", they signal that at least some of them know (or have reason to strongly suspect) that something did in fact happen. 

They're admitting to the allegation that Dr Ford was assaulted. Which is why it got swept under the rug almost before it got out. Almost.

And of course, it fits with all the other shitty things Republicans have been doing:

  • Nothing happened - you're lying
  • OK, maybe something happened but it's not illegal, and it happened too long ago to worry about
  • OK, something happened and it was illegal, but it's not a big deal - everybody does it
  • OK, Something illegal happened and it's a big deal, but

Stoopid Repub Tricks

Just need to get this off my chest:

I'm sick-n-goddamned-tired of these entitlement-laden fat-cat legacy pukes. They need to be thrown out with the rest of the hog slop - they're stinkin' up the whole fuckin' joint.

Marc Fisher and Perry Stein, WaPo:

As Christine Blasey Ford tells it, only one person can offer eyewitness confirmation of her account of a sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh: Mark Judge, Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate at Georgetown Prep.

Ford says Judge watched Kavanaugh attack her at a high school party in the early 1980s and then literally piled on, leaping on top of her and Kavanaugh. Judge says he does not remember the party and never saw his buddy behave like that. Ford’s legal team has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to compel Judge to testify.

A review of books, articles and blog posts by Judge — a freelance writer who has shifted among jobs at a record store, substitute teaching, housesitting and most recently at a liquor store — describes an ’80s private-school party scene in which heavy drinking and sexual encounters were standard fare.

Judge wrote about the pledge he and his friends at the all-male school on Rockville Pike in North Bethesda, Md., made to drink 100 kegs of beer before graduation. On their way to that goal, there was a “disastrous” party “at my house where the place was trashed,” Judge wrote in his book “God and Man at Georgetown Prep.” Kavanaugh listed himself in the class yearbook as treasurer of the “100 Kegs or Bust” club.

“I’ll be the first one to defend guys being guys,”
Judge wrote in a 2015 article on the website Acculturated. He described a party culture of “drinking and smoking and hooking up.” During senior year, Judge said he and his pals hired a stripper and bought a keg for a bachelor party they threw to honor their school’s music teacher.
"...guys being guys"...because they'd drink too much and do stoopid things. Oh well, whutcha gonna do? Hey, how 'bout them Red Sox, huh?

Try to think about the effect that has on young girls growing up, and what effect it might have on young boys.

And that's just the obvious basic stuff that you have to assume even a complete bonehead would start to understand eventually. But here we are - not again, but still.

A PSA

How To Prevent Rape

1. Don’t put drugs in a woman’s drink

2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone

3. If you pull over because a woman’s car has broken down, always remember not to rape her

4. If a woman steps into an elevator with you, don’t rape her

5. Should you encounter a woman who’s asleep or otherwise unconscious, the safest thing to do is not rape her

6. Don’t break into a woman’s house, and don’t pounce on a woman in the parking garage, so as not to rape her

7. Remember, some women go alone to the laundry room or storage lockers - avoid raping them at all times

8. Use the Buddy System - sometimes, a friend is all you need to help you not rape

9. Be honest with her - state your intentions so a woman doesn’t get the mistaken idea that you’re not going to rape her

10. Always carry a Rape Whistle. If you’re about to commit rape, blow the whistle until someone comes and stomps your punk ass into a greasy spot on the pavement


Thank you for your time and attention. We hope you find this helpful as you navigate the tricky world of interpersonal dealings at a human level.

Family Planning With Teresa Manning


HuffPo:

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has appointed Teresa Manning, an anti-abortion activist who has argued that “contraception doesn’t work,” to oversee a federal family planning program for low-income Americans.

Manning, a former lobbyist with the National Right to Life Committee and legislative analyst for the conservative Family Research Council, will serve as deputy assistant secretary for population affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services. The Office of Population Affairs administers the Title X program, which subsidizes contraception, Pap smears and other preventive health care services for 4 million low-income Americans, roughly half of whom are uninsured.

Manning has said she opposes federal family planning funding, and she has a long history of making false claims about birth control and women’s health.

There's still just three things I know for sure about the whole Abortion Issue:

1. Eggs ain't chickens

2. Caterpillars ain't butterflies

3. Ain't nothing goin' on in my daughter's uterus that's any of your goddamned business

So fuck the fuck off, motherfucker.
