The
Evil Clown Party Strikes Again
 Today's
cartoon, of course, references Texas Governor
Rick "Who Needs Skools?" Perry's
latest ploy to sop up the ignoramus vote. There's
no other
explanation
for his new abortion restriction bill other
than to encourage every Texas fundie to swear
their allegiance to the Evil Clown Party as
they heat their cans
of beans over the smoldering remains of their
dreams of prosperity while they await the next
faux Rapture.
Here's the way it now works if you're a Texas
woman with a problem: If she desires to terminate
her pregnancy she
would
have
to get a completely unnecessary ultrasound
between 24 and 72 hours before the abortion.
She would
also be required to view the sonogram, hear
an explanation of the image and listen to the
heartbeat, if
it
is
audible.
What. The. Fuck.
Why the Texas Legislature didn't also require
women to clog dance while wearing funny hats
during the procedure is anyone's guess. Except
that
it might be considered to be Big Government Intrusion and we wouldn't
want that, now would we?
Most importantly, this sonogram is not the "jelly
on the belly" type. This is a device that
has to be inserted
vaginally. Welcome to Conservative Proxy
Rape in America, folks.

(31) Abortion. Abortion. Abortion. As in
"restrictions".

ensues.
Nope. No job creation here. Seriously. Not
a fucking employment sausage. Move along.
Move along.
I'll keep adding to this list until the Republican
House does something to create jobs. I unhappily
predict this is gonna be one lonnnnng list.
After all, you don't get rid of a sitting president
by helping the economy.
