I’ve seen a few poor women that I would call porky.
I wrote this to her and then couldn't log in a nd didn't care enough to figure out why not.

Iif reproduction ceased to be the goal, sexuality might become yoked to pleasure and that is quite unsettling to many Americans.
I wonder if your fingers stuttered over this sentence because deep down inside you knew it was a sophistry bordering on a lie. As you well know it wasn't the yoking to pleasure, it was the yoking to pleasure ALONE that was the issue.
But then this entire screed is sort of beyond logic. You cleverly refute the suggestion that spending millions on contraceptives doesn't stimulate the economy by saying it does many things none of which stimulates the economy.
If one were to argue as you do, any bill of any kind whatsoever could be criticized because it does not solves problems not within its scope. An bill called an economic stimulus bill does not purposefully bring peace on earth. A bill to build bridges does not aim itself at feeding poor children. A bill to simplify tax law does not explicitly improve public education.
And a bill to stimulate the economy ought to be directly about stimulating the economy. Let bills about women's' reproductive health address, uh, women's' reproductive health.
Hey genius — it’s called ‘pork’ because it’s buried in a bill that’s being described as an economic stimulus bill. If you believe that it’s the federal government’s place to fund such a social engineering program, then let’s have that debate and stop trying to sneak it in under cover of darkness.
>> “How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives? How does that stimulate the economy?”
Well, here’s the answer. First, the package is filled with health care services, many of which will help uninsured citizens, but not stimulate the economy. <<
OK, so the logic here is that pork isn’t pork because Republicans didn’t make a particular of example of some pork when they made a particular example of that pork?
>> reproductive justice activists <<
Wow, that’s a new one. So they’re acknowledging it’s not really a choice after all?
They are when the Dem President is looking for sex.
Who made the “wave a $100 bill in a trailor park” comment?
I think she is saying they are quite satisfied they are being sufficiently stimulated already.
They just don't want to be punished with a baby every time they get repeatedly stimulated in the future.
>> Ironically, I was on my way to lecture about Margaret Sanger in my history course at U.C. Berkeley when I heard the news. Sanger was vilified for wanting to give women the choice of when or whether to bear children. <<
“Choice?” No, she was vilified for wanting to rid the world of black people. She was actually a full-blown, honest-to-God Nazi. If abortion didn’t do away with enough blacks, she was ready to fire up the gas chambers.
They act like it’s a right to have sex with no consequences.
Seriously, this just reaffirms my 2nd undeniable truth about liberalism. The only freedoms that libs support are those related to sexual behavior choices.
Any liberal that claims to be a Christian needs to read through the last 6 Commandments and tell us how their ideology doesn’t directly contradict those.
First liberals created a welfare state “for the children”, now liberals kill the children “for the welfare of the State”.
Bump for later...
“Reproductive justice.” Yeah, right. With an execution at the end.
Great summation of liberal policy.
Poor women...the other white meat.
I’m surprised it took 25 posts to get to that one. It reminds me of switching to the term Climate change.
Reproductive justice? What kind of justice is there for the reproductive? Do we throw certain reproducers in jail?
Nonsense. She is vilified because she believed in aborting 'inferior' cultures - i.e., brown and black ones.
Taking huge liberties with the facts, I see.
Kinda innocent and guilty all at the same time! :)
“We consume food at breathtaking speed”
True. To Obama and his band of sluts at PP, they are much less.
