Welcome!

Welcome to the first post of my new blog!  After you read this please post comments and let me know what you think!

I am literally inundated daily with emails keeping me up to date about what is happening not only here in America but also around the world.  I spend close to two hours a day sorting through all of this and then deciding what to pass on to those who care about what's happening.  

Here is an excerpt from one of those emails that I just could not help but pass on.  This particular one came from a group called "Emily's List" and their stated objective is "electing pro-choice Democratic women to every level of office." This one I found to be quite amusing.  In fact where I come from in the country we call this woe unto me article as "crying in your beer" for lack of a better descriptive.  My comments follow each of their 10 items.  My comments are in dark red just for safety sake.  Let me know what you think! 

Here are their Top 10 Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Attacks on Women’s Rights (just in the last 6 months!)

1: The Blunt Amendment. Reasonable religious exemptions weren’t enough for Roy Blunt. This amendment would have allowed your employer – not your doctor - to decide what kind of health care you could get based on his or her own personal moral or religious convictions.  So much for our Constitution which Obama and the liberal left have shown that they have zero regard for.  It is apparent that Freedom of Speech & Religion means nothing to them.  Virtually all health insurance is issued on a state-by-state basis.  The liberal pro-aborts via Obamacare have sought to trample on both the 10th Amendment & the Commerce Clause which states what commerce the Federal Government can regulate.

2: The All-Male Birth Control Panel, or the Man Panel. Congressman Darrell Issa convened a panel to discuss the coverage of birth control – but refused to include any women.  Umm... Refused?  Just how far does one have to stretch the truth to make it a lie?  What Congressman Issa ACTUALLY DID was to convene several prominent religious leaders which by Bible standards were all men to ask them if they felt their religious rights were being trampled by the Obama administration.  Not quite how the liberal left and the liberal media made it out to be.

3: Susan G. Komen Foundation defunds Planned Parenthood. Komen opted to cut off funding to the largest provider of reproductive health services in the US because of their new VP’s objection to a mere 3% of their activities.  Planned Parenthood doesn't do breast exams, they only do referrals for breast exams.  Why shouldn't Komen shut them off?  A major point the liberal pro-aborts conveniently leave out here is that through some unknown back door pressure (read thuggery) Komen all of a sudden reversed course and reinstated Planned Paqrenthood AFTER one of Komen's best weeks ever for fundraising which happened immediately after Komen's announcement to cut Planned Parenthood off.

4:Rush Limbaugh Calls Sandra Fluke a Prostitute and a Slut. After Sandra Fluke stood up for women everywhere, Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves and called her a prostitute and a slut for speaking out in favor of birth control coverage. He also said she should have to put videos of her having sex online to compensate the taxpayers who “are going to pay for your contraceptives." Classy.  Once again the hypocrisy of the liberal left pro-aborts shines bright.  The darling comedian/now politician of the liberal left pro-aborts donated $1,000,000.00 to Obama's re-election campaign after he called Sarah Palin every filthy derogative you can think of & I can't mention here as this is family friendly.  Do you think for just one minute that the liberal media or the liberal pro-aborts got up in arms about that?  Not a chance?  Think Obama who took Fluke's side is returning the million dollars Maher gave him?  Yup!  NOT A CHANCE!

5: Forced Trans-Vaginal Ultrasounds. Republican legislators in Virginia invited the commonwealth into the exam room when they proposed a bill that would require women seeking abortions to undergo an invasive, medically-unnecessary vaginal probe before their procedure.  Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill!  This was just a minor technicality that was quickly cleared up & eliminated.  All the Virginia Legislature was trying to do was to get it right.  When the liberal left pro-aborts who don't want the pregnant woman to see her BABY because she might decide to give it life thus costing the abortion industry some if it's almighty dollar that it's grub hungry for ($$$ = power), they turned it into a media circus and even worse an excuse to cry out for more donations!  The Virginia Legislature quickly sought more expert guidance and quickly made the necessary changes but the damage was already done.

6: Texas defunds Planned Parenthood. Under Governor Rick Perry, the state of Texas banned funding to Planned Parenthood because it provides abortion services. In the end, though, this fight has only served to hurt low-income women looking for breast cancer screenings, birth control and pap smears.  As I said above, Planned Parenthood does not do breast cancer screenings, only referrals.  Sheesh!  Now it appears that Planned Parenthood in Texas got caught with its hand in the cookie jar!  Looks like Planned Parenthood in Texas bilked the Government out of around SIX MILLION DOLLARS!  By law if this is proven Planned Parenthood should lose all government support nationwide.  Period!  Add to this now that Planned Parenthood of North Texas CEO Tony Thornton has been busted for indecent exposure!  How can Planned Parenthood's actions in Texas be defended much less lauded and funded is what I want to know!

7: Women in the Military Should “Expect” to be Raped. Responding to a 64% increase in the reports of rape and violent sexual assaults in the military, Fox News pundit Liz Trotta responds, “What did they expect?” She goes on to say that there is a bureaucracy of people to support these women who are being “raped too much.”  Once again the liberal left takes something completely out of context.  Surprise!  Surprise!  What Liz Trotta was actually doing was taking the feminist movement to task for pressuring the military to deploy women closer to the front line.  The point she was trying to make which was once again so conveniently overlooked was that everyone from the high ranking military commanders on down plus the feminists should have known this was going to happen when you put young people in super high stress situations with way to many opportunities for this to happen thus it should have been stopped before it had a chance for it to start.  Just for the record so no one throws rotten tomatoes at me I say rape is always wrong.  Period.  The Defense Department needs to tell the ultra-liberal feminists to take a hike and get our super brave young women warriors to a place where this won't happen.

8: Foster Friess Suggests Women Put Aspirin Between Their Knees. Rick Santorum supporter, Foster Friess, reminisced about back in his day when ladies put aspirin between their knees for birth control. Back in his day, people also died of polio.  Once again, Umm...  this is big news why?  One out of millions of Santorum supporters makes a comment the pro-aborts don't like?  Sheesh!  What would happen if Fox News jumped on even one out of a hundred of the derogatory comments the big Democratic supporters had to say that wasn't family friendly?  Fox would never be able to cover the real news!  Attention liberal pro-aborts!  Look in the mirror and repeat after me:  H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T.  There is your first nugget of real truth!

9: Santorum wants to deny birth control coverage because he thinks it’s available and affordable. Despite the fact that most forms of birth control still require a prescription and 1 in 3 women have reported struggling to afford birth control. Santorum feels there is no barrier to access, so it shouldn’t be covered by insurance.  Here is another case where the hypocrisy of the liberal pro-aborts shines so bright.  First of all the only thing I've heard out of the Santorum camp is that the Federal Government should not interfere in states issues or trample on the rights of churches or businesses.  With that said let's use Kansas as an example on how things are really working now since Kansas is where I live.  Kansas took a stand against Planned Parenthood and other women's clinics that do abortions.  To insure that Federal dollars that are earmarked for family planning (contraception, not abortion) actually get used for that purpose and to insure family planning services STATE WIDE, not just Wichita & Kansas City, the State of Kansas passed a law saying that the earmarked money should be distributed state wide and family planning should be available then to all Kansas women who need the help.  Planned Parenthood screamed bloody murder & got a liberal judge to order the money be paid back to Planned Parenthood in Kansas City and leave the rest of the state basically high and dry.  Looks to me like it's the liberal pro-aborts who are denying people that need it family planning!

10: Mitt Romney doesn’t understand a woman’s reproductive system. Romney has publicly supported “personhood amendments,” which would ban abortion by declaring life begins at conception. When asked about how this affects birth control, Romney seemed to be completely unaware that hormonal forms of birth control stop implantation, not conception and would be banned under any personhood amendment.  Medically & scientifically, we've advanced light years since the Roe V. Wade decision in 1973.  In 1973 we had no idea that all of the chromosomes that define a living creature were present at the moment of conception (I'll call moment of conception as the instant the sperm enters the egg just for argument's sake).  Little did we know then about the fetal development of the baby inside of the mother in the very early stages such as on day 22 after conception heart begins to beat with the child's own blood, often a different type than the mothers'. 

Here are some other things about the developing baby we either did not know or did not somehow fully comprehend.  By the end of third week the child's backbone spinal column and nervous system are forming & the liver, kidneys and intestines begin to take shape.  By the end of week 5 the eyes, legs, and hands begin to develop.  By the end of the week 6 brain waves are detectable; mouth and lips are present; fingernails are forming.  Finally by the end of week 8 eyelids, and toes form, nose distinct.  The baby is kicking and swimming.  Every organ is in place, bones begin to replace cartilage, and fingerprints begin to form.  In fact, by the 8^th week the baby can begin to hear.  Now consider this, according to the Centers for Disease Control 91.5% of abortions take place by the end of the 9th week.  Had we known in 1973 what we know now one can only speculate how different things would be now but of course these are facts the liberal pro-aborts do not want you to know.
