A New Libya: Freedom for Women Too?
“‘We will never again let anyone control us,’ Ms. Shibadi said.”
New Hampshire anti-choicers finally admit the truth: it's about denying women ownership and enjoyment of their own bodies, NOT about abortion.
“The three Councilors who voted against funding for Planned Parenthood said they did so because some of its clinics provide abortions, even though those abortions are entirely privately funded. Councilor Raymond Wieczorek of Manchester added that he opposed funding for birth control and condoms altogether.
“If they want to have a good time, why not let them pay for it?” he told the Concord Monitor last week.”
I literally want to drive down to Manchester and punch this man in the nuts. But at least he’s being honest: he thinks unwanted children and STDs are a just PUNISHMENT for enjoying your sexuality and not being a chaste angel. Newsflash, Raymond: the STATE will be paying for those unwanted children when women can’t afford their birth control - until you deny them benefits and healthcare and they DIE at an early age from a preventable illness or accident. SO MUCH RAGE I CAN’T EVEN. Live free or die, my ass.
