WA Republican Sen. Michael Baumgartner, Says Maria Cantwell Is Unqualified to Talk About Birth Control Because She's an Unmarried Woman

WTF!?!!?

So, why are Catholic priests allowed to speak? Aren’t they unmarried? 

watching republicans continuously show their blatant sexism/racism/homophobia would be funnier if people didn’t take their shit seriously.

I feel like they’re fucking with people, is it really possible to make it into office being this fucking ignorant? why am I even studying? I’ll just stop pursuing an education, ignore facts and science and run for congress or something. and anytime someone disagrees with me I’ll cry ‘religious freedom!’ or ‘terrorism!’ boom, argument over. -LG

shortformblog: Michael Bloomberg stands with Planned Parenthood The NYC mayor is the most prominent figure to come out against Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s decision to strip funding for Planned Parenthood, dropping $250,000 for the controversial group. “Politics have no place in health care,” he said in a statement. “Breast cancer screening saves lives, and hundreds of thousands of women rely on Planned Parenthood for access to care. We should be helping women access that care, not placing barriers in their way.” Bloomberg’s donation comes on top of $400,000 in donations to the group from individual sponsors and a harshly-worded statement to Komen from 26 Senators. (photo by David Shankbone on Twitter) Fuck you Nancy Brinker, you care more about pushing your own personal agenda than actually preventing cancer and the well being of women.

Cry For Victims, Not Paterno

I won’t rejoice in a death, I’m sure his family and friends are saddened over this… however the facts remains the same, Paterno failed to protect those kids, and to me, there is no honour in that. The silence of one was the destruction of many, tonight the victims will be in my thoughts, and I’m not sorry to say, that Paterno will not be.

The Worst GOP Attacks Against A Woman’s Right To Choose

It should really be called how the GOP and anti-choicers are against women. Seriously, stay the fuck out of my uterus. The GOP constantly talks about the ‘evils of communism’ how ‘big government’ is threatening the American lifestyle, how governments don’t have a right to tell corporations how to run their companies… HOWEVER the government DOES have a right to tell you what to do with your own body? well fuck you very much, since when do corporations get more rights than women people? oh ya since money became more valuable than human rights.
