At the risk of stating the obvious (and preaching to the choir), if it's in the woman's best interest, then why would they excuse women who are pregnant from rape or incest?

Don't know. Maybe that's the next frontier for these folks? First things first, gotta go incrementalist, right?

They tried to say that is in the woman's best interest because it gives the doctor more information before he performs the procedure. The only people excused are those who are pregnant from rape or incest…

In reply to Feminist or not, Liberal Men must fight against the GOP's War on Women

Add this one to the list, from a female friend in Florida, who reports:

I think that [Gov. Rick] Scott is truly one of the most reprehensible and terrifying politicians I have ever experienced. I don't know how he got elected (even my Republican friends deny voting for him). I actually feel he is evil - sort of how I feel about Dick Cheney. It is dark days for Florida in so many respects...The legislature has a huge Republican majority as well, so there is no way to keep him in check. They just passed legislation last week that requires women considering an abortion to have a ultrasound and view the fetus. They tried to say that is in the woman's best interest because it gives the doctor more information before he performs the procedure. The only people excused are those who are pregnant from rape or incest, but they must have "proof" that they are a victim of a crime!!!!! Jaw dropping, indeed!

Another scary thought I had the other day is to wonder whether, in effect if not necessarily in intent, the Republicans have now effectively adopted a kamikaze strategy whereby they push policy as far right as they can at the state (especially) as well as federal levels, knowing they might fail or get voted out next time, but that there are plenty more far-right candidates who can be financed and prepared to make another push in short order. Figuring it's easier for them to block efforts to repeal horrible policies and take short-term electoral losses if need be, and that overall this is the quickest way for them to realize their agenda.

Doesn't self-identifying as 'a chick' disqualify you from the 'feminist' category? Kinda like self-identifying as a 'lady'?
