There are bills that have been recently submitted or will soon be submitted in several states that deem a fertilized egg a human being.

Such a bill puts an egg, even unimplanted, on the same footing with the adult woman in which it resides. It makes taking any contraceptive measures tantamount to killing.

I’ve already been denied birth control pills nearly 16 years ago now by a doctor whose wife demanded he stop dispensing them for this very reason, that BCP prevented the implantation of fertilized eggs and were therefore abortive.

Grasp that. All of it.

You want to permanently denigrate my rights as a human? Emphasize eggs.

You want to split off your potential support from men on women’s issues,
emphasize ovaries.

You want to split off your potential support from other women on women’s issue,
insist on right-fighting and obtusely missing the point.

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

See the previous thread about the Political Brain — it’s most definitely about hitting a nerve.

The source of my distress is that which underlies a Senate comprised of 86 men and 14 women.

As a carryover, then, (in EPU land, no less)
yes, outlined in the Political Brain,

In order of importance, they are:
1) their feelings toward the parties and their principles,
2) their feelings toward the candidates, and
3) their feelings toward particular policy positions. He is clear that Democrats come up woefully short on all but the third.

If it is, as the book states, all about the visceral, then what I am saying is highly relevant.

All of those society-sustaining activities such as infrastructure, public schooling, caring for young and elders, or even public finance of elections, as you allude to, have heretofore been equated with “soc*al*sm” or “mommy-party.”

When correctly identified as neither feminine nor masculine, but rather as essential to survival, what gets usurped is partisan thieving of collectively held amassed assets.

All I am saying, even in use of a metaphor for “guts” — (i.e., “amassed assets with action potential”) — is to pull the camera back a little. The metaphor was designed to tap into a collective, much as a shared highway.

If you can sit through understanding the amygdala, then there may be some payoff to elevating awareness about our commonalities before we differentiate in the womb.

Grasp it if you will. That’s what was intended.

I found that video several years ago researching the C-130 when I found out they wer using them.

It certainly could be from that theater, but the video is several years old.

OMG. Was this Blackwater?

Furthermore, Wilson said that as the Kuhns were being arrested and taken off, he saw a man in fatigues drive by and shout “Go to jail, baby!”

After his experience, Mark Kuhn said he is convinced this is not an isolated occurrence. “If Americans don’t wake up to the martial state we’re in, the cops, the police, the sheriffs, the state police will all come to our door and take us away if we allow this to happen – it’s time for America to wake up.”

— David Forbes, staff writer

Blackwater? Nah! Every twobit town in the US has gotten some terrist dollars. Cops love to strut in their new, black Tac gear.

shit

i’m gonna have to go back and read about what the fuss is about but meanwhile—

i was one of the first women to work outside for the phone company in the country…….i took some shit………..non-traditional in a major way………and yes, i was good lookin’ and yes i did my job, all of my coworkers adopted me, other women doin’ it, can’t say the same for them, they didn’t last………………

female/male………..hmmmmmmmmmm

my lesbian step-sister pointed out the sexism in commercials in the early 80’s, didn’t see it, made me think………then made me think some more…………..

sure wish i would have already read the comments on it…………..

you kinda had to be there.

and the rest gained from what we did.

now, it’s open field day for women, came at a cost……..we paid it.

i looked at your pics way back when, months ago…….haunting……the one of the angel still sticks in my mind…….

i think of it whenever someone mentions new orleans, and when harry shearer mentions it, i picture your picture……..wow…….an artist has impact. forever.

*sigh* such literalism
see PB’s comment.
balls. figurative and symbolic.
how can something inclusive create a second class?
I’m thinking power center, located
somewhere between the groin and solar plexus.
The source of people’s daring.
(position it where you will)
Sorry to hit such a nerve,
but your tight interpretation is the source
of your own distress.
