Also, despite all his words, Ron Silver has yet to donate a penny to our side since his 'transformation' over 4 years ago.
Here is more of her thinking. Martha wants to use the government to control all men’s fertility. Unbelievably she calls it “a few minuscule and ever-so-reasonable restrictions”.

"Sperm Stops Here!" by Martha Burke Ms. Magazine Nov/Dec 1997 issue
Let’s stop the abortion debate right now. Both sides can agree that eliminating the need for abortion would solve the problem. If all babies were planned, wanted and could be cared for, women wouldn’t seek abortions. A modest proposal: control men’s fertility.
The facts of men’s fertility are that men can cause hundreds (even thousands in the case of certain athletes who shall remain nameless) more unwanted pregnancies than can women. In the most extreme case, consider a woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth every year of her fertile life.
It is theoretically possible for her to have 35 children in her lifetime. In the same period, if a man had unprotected sexual intercourse once a week he could theoretically father 1,820 children. Add his increased years of fertility, and his potential for physical domination over women, and we can readily see that the problem of unwanted pregnancy is largely one of uncontrolled sperm.
So how do we control men’s fertility? Mandatory contraception beginning at puberty, with the rule relaxed only for procreation under the right circumstances (he can afford it and has a willing partner) and for the right reasons (determined by a panel of experts, and with the permission of his designated female partner). This could be easily accomplished with a masculine version of the contraceptive implants some judges are now trying to force on some women by court order.
Controlling men’s fertility would not be a hard restriction to enforce. The fertility authorities could use a combination of punishments for men who failed to get the implants and for doctors who removed them without proper authorization. The men could be required to adopt one orphan per infraction and rear her or him until adulthood. The doctors, could lose their licenses or, in extreme cases, go to prison.
The current welfare law allows states to eliminate support for many women with children and deny additional assistance to single mothers who have more than one child while on welfare. Why not punish men caught fathering more than one child with a mother who’s already on welfare?
With DNA fingerprinting, the method could be foolproof, especially if doctors reported any man who refused the implants or sought medical attention after unsuccessfully attempting to remove them himself. Understand, men’s right to control their own bodies and life choices would not be infringed. Men could continue to have sexual intercourse and to father children. They would merely be required to accept a few minuscule and ever-so-reasonable restrictions.
Speaking of African-Americans, Burk reminds me of Jesse Jackson the way she shouts, "I'm here, I'm here! Look at me! I'm relevant!"
From that Ms. magazine modest proposal, I conclude that Martha Burk is not only a feminazi, but a feminist Nazi as well. This is the sort of thing the Nazis did, after all.
Just how does she intend to turn all of this into law, enforceable or not?
Was this the same woman who proposed a "sir-tax" on men, since men commit more violent crimes than women (I guess)?
Geez, what an idiot!
I'd forgotten all about her since the New York Times made her a daily celebrity a few years ago.
Figures the drunken John Daly would be a Democrat.
Wait! There is a growing internet effort making the rounds designed to exercise consumer control over gas prices. The major target is Exxon/Mobile. The idea is not to buy from the largest oil company so that they will lower prices.
If the largest of Big Oil lowers prices, everyone else will follow. It's an idea whose time has come.
DON'T BUY EXXON/MOBILE UNTIL THEIR PRICES COME DOWN TO AROUND 1.25 PER GALLON OR LESS!
BTW the market outlet for Venezuela's oil is CITCO.
Crusty old dykes don't have the balls to take on islam.
