for a party who cried sexism every five minutes on sarah palin,republicans sure do hate women.

[angelicexcel]

This sounds like a GOOD law to you?

You do realize Birth control is used these days for MORE than just not getting pregnant. Many women, like me, have irregular periods. ( this is an issue TYT didn't touch ) Well guess what birth control does for me? It REGULATES my period. Without it I can bleed for MONTHS on end. THAT much loss of blood and tissue is HARMFUL to a person. So you're telling me that if my Doctor's a Catholic, I'm shit out of luck and put myself at serious risk, because of it?

@angelicexcel here here me too, if it wasn't for the pill i would be miserable 21 days out of every month,not to mention hemorrage agonizing cramps and violant mood swings thank goodness for the pill and thank goodness in my country no one would stand for such a draconian idiotic law not that the christian right haven't tried to pass similar laws here in Australia just that if they did there popularity rating would slide down so fast they would be kicked out of office so fast career over.

@goarmy18 no stupid people shouldn't vote. clearly you are one.

[Shavarnarak]

Of course after Cenk proceeds to make the same point, but that's something I find kind of maddening about Cenk.

Cenk seems to want to straddle the moderate side to appease the mighty cult of moderacy (that holds that the truth lies between reason and insanity, instead of just with reason.) Or perhaps it's his being an ex-conservative. But Cenk needs to take things a step further. Because I think that's what he really feels anyway.

Just go that bit further. Fuck the cult of moderate.

[Shavarnarak]

No Cenk, you CANNOT make that argument on both sides.

A doctor has a duty, and if he does not want to perform that duty he should NOT be a doctor. And if he refuses to perform his duty he should pay for it.

That's how it should work. People should do their jobs and follow the law. If they have crazy beliefs then they should either put them aside on the professional level or not do a job where other people depend on them.

[goarmy18]

Most of this ppl are women. This is ridiculious. Also, Rep. Dont hate women. Were just a group beliefs. Its not like you have to listen. Also dem. are the ones who actully wanted slavery, just a thought. Idk how it changed. But Reps. fought for equal rights.

[goarmy18]

Come on girl. Have some sense. You need to hop off. This is exactly why women shouldnt vote.

[TheCastellan]

The more the right wing tries to regulate morality, the more the longer they are going to be the minority in government.

It happened in 2006, it happened in 2008. And as a pansexual male ( meaning I go for anyone I'm attracted too, regardless of sex and gender ), I don't want a bunch of crusty middle aged/eldery morality fucks telling me whom I can or can not be with.

[lollyliz666]

this pisses me right the fuck off.... more conservatives trying to limit my freedom of sexuality

[ffliz217]

What if your morals are that a gay person isn't entitled to medical care? And a person, who is known to be gay by the pharmacist/doctor, comes in for medical treatment? Does that count?

Giving people the power to use their "morals" (so easily made up) as an excuse to exercise prejudice is sick and dangerous.

Also, i'm so sick of conservatives being "pro-life" but anti contraception. If you're going to limit women's rights, at least compromise a little.

[hottfrogpines]

That is sick
