The Dawn Of Another Day: Another Attack

Just to prove my point from the post I made yesterday it is now the next day and a new attack against women. This time it is coming from an Idaho GOP lawmaker who states "I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes on.”.

This was a comment made by state Sen. Chuck Winder in response to opponents of his forced ultrasound bill brought to his attention that the bill makes no exceptions for rape, victims of incest, or medical emergencies.

I would just like to thank these hatemongers for helping me make my point. In this case the government has no business telling doctors how to do their job. They also need to stay out of the personal relationship between a doctor and the patient. Legislators have no business dictating medicinal practice. The courts will throw all of this garbage out but now it's going to cost taxpayers to do so. We already know they are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks including women's uteri!

Here is an example of what these sick bastards force women to go through first hand:

'We Have No Choice': One Woman's Ordeal with Texas' New Sonogram Law

 The doctor and nurse were professional and kind, and it was clear that they understood our sorrow. They too apologized for what they had to do next. For the third time that day, I exposed my stomach to an ultrasound machine, and we saw images of our sick child forming in blurred outlines on the screen.
“I’m so sorry that I have to do this,” the doctor told us, “but if I don’t, I can lose my license.” Before he could even start to describe our baby, I began to sob until I could barely breathe. Somewhere, a nurse cranked up the volume on a radio, allowing the inane pronouncements of a DJ to dull the doctor’s voice. Still, despite the noise, I heard him. His unwelcome words echoed off sterile walls while I, trapped on a bed, my feet in stirrups, twisted away from his voice.
“Here I see a well-developed diaphragm and here I see four healthy chambers of the heart...”
I closed my eyes and waited for it to end, as one waits for the car to stop rolling at the end of a terrible accident.
When the description was finally over, the doctor held up a script and said he was legally obliged to read me information provided by the state. It was about the health dangers of having an abortion, the risks of infection or hemorrhage, the potential for infertility and my increased chance of getting breast cancer. I was reminded that medical benefits may be available for my maternity care and that the baby’s father was liable to provide support, whether he’d agreed to pay for the abortion or not.
 Did you catch the lie in the diatribe doctors are forced, by law, to spread. Abortions do not cause an increased risk of breast cancer. Just the fact that lie is in there proves this is nothing but a scare tactic. These attacks of hate and vitriol should not be allowed to continue. And maybe, one day, enough people will have enough and it will end!

And The Hits Keep Coming

All it takes is the dawn of another day to read a new headline attacking a women's right to healthcare, contraception, or even an abortion. Laws made by men to advance their agenda of interfering with women's healthcare.  Today the attacks are coming out of Tennessee called the Life Defense Act of 2012.

The proposed law "mandates that the Tennessee Department of Health make detailed demographic information about every woman who has an abortion available to the public, including her age, race, county, marital status, education level, number of children, the location of the procedure and how many times she has been pregnant. Each report would also have to include the name of the doctor who performed the procedure."

 This just seems unfathomable. When will men figure out once they allow these laws to take hold there will be nothing stopping them from "mandating" different aspects of healthcare for men? It isn't that hard to imagine. Who do you know that has had a taste of power that hasn't wanted more? These are power moves. It might be about women right now but it will be about everyone if laws like these are allowed to stand.

Women Should Listen

I don't know how certain people feel about Rachel Maddow but personally I find her smart and intelligent. She researches her stories and can back them up with facts that even the lay person can find for themselves. If she discovers that she has made a mistake she will immediately take to the air and make a retraction or even apologize if necessary. Not many commentators does that these days.

When I watched this segment I felt like it was one of her best to date. If I was a woman it would have had me steaming. I, as a man, have always fought for women's rights any chance I got and let me tell you since 2010 I have been busy. If you are a female or like me supportive of women's rights you should watch this segment whether you are left, right, conservative or liberal.




I would also like to add a few graphs to help get the point across. These are screen shots I took from Rachel's show. These graphs should help sink in what Republicans are trying to do to women's healthcare!
