I just finished watching this week's "NOW" |
|
it was all about the abortion ban in South Dakota. Nothing I didn't already know about the crazy anti-choicers but I still managed to yell at the TV for the entire program.
If they had their way we would be left with no contraceptives and back alley abortions...it's a chilling look at what these people want to do to women

2. That makes three of us! |

I find myself continually saying out loud, even when I'm alone, "bullshit", "fucking liar".

3. My roommates always give me a "look" |
|
when I start yelling at the TV. I know I just shouldn't watch these things, but I can't help myself. It's like a car wreck, I can't look away!

My pooch tries to come over and comfort me - he generally never bothers me (he's 14 years old) unless there is a thunderstorm or hurricane in the area and HE wants solace.

7. I'm watching it now. This is amazing! |
|
I'm watching this lady who runs an "Abstinence Clearinghouse". Teenage girls participating in "Purity Balls" chaperoned by their fathers. The Balls end with a "virginity pledge". It will be a "wedding gift for their future husband".
Woo Hoo! South Dakota is looking like a laughingstock.

9. I've advised my teenage daughter |
|
to make sure she sleeps with the man she plans on marrying before they marry -- with all the protection available, of course. I want her to be happy in her marriage. :)

I thought those girls making that pledge to their fathers was just weird.
And that Leslie Unruh. Ugh. Creep.

8. I couldn't believe the claim of Leslee Unruh that by taking away |
|
a woman's right to choose it was giving them back their freedom. That and the fact that they think that the only sex education children need is abstinence and the failure rate of condoms. Unbelievable. Way to go South Dakota!
