Happy news first: I’ve made substantial progress on my sock. I’ll be finishing the toe for sock #1 on the bus ride home today.

Depressing news second: Bush wants to make it illegal to discriminate against someone to work at a federally funded health clinics because they refuse to perform services abortions or distribute medications birth control pills and information about birth control, abortions, or emergency contraception. Last I checked, if you refuse to do those things at a health clinic, you are not performing your essential job function to provide thorough medical care.

This is not an issue of can’t, it is an issue of won’t.

You don’t want to work at the clinic to prevent teen pregnancy: you want to work at the clinic to disseminate your harmful beliefs. Go find a fucking church to preach at or something, because a federally funded health clinic is not the place.

Bush also wants to redefine abortion to include: “any of the various procedures - including the prescription, dispensing and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action - that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation.” Before or after implantation? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY? If it is before implantation, you are not pregnant, so you cannot have an abortion. You have to be WITH CHILD before you can have a medical procedure to be WITHOUT CHILD.

Now go register to vote for Barack “I don’t support your right to privacy” Obama so we don’t get stuck with John “I’d rather give up my left testicle than allow a woman access to birth control and abortions” McCain. You have to pick the best of both evils, and in this case, it is definitely Obama.
