Ruling Gives South Dakota Doctors a Script to Read
Women Seeking Abortion Must Be Told About 'Unique Living Human Being'

CHICAGO -- In a victory for antiabortion forces, doctors in South Dakota are now required to tell a woman seeking an abortion that the procedure "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being."

Haha... by that first statement's logic, I'm definitely not a human being when I drink.

I... feel the same way about that last statement.

It's (ironically [due to the nature of the upcoming analogy]) like they're shoving their cocks into the situation. It's like they're so, so infuriated that all they can do is politically word highly emotionally-fueled statements to cock smack women for having dared attempted to govern their own bodies.

Honestly, that's all I see when I read those words: a very red-faced white guy, grinding his teeth as he pens his most fervent attempt to make women feel like powerless, disembodied wombs.

It's shit like this that makes me want to just kill myself. God. If only I were a fetus. Haha... That'd feel so good.

I think what kills me the most is that the Christian fundamentalists do not see/understand the parallels between what they do and what Muslim fundamentalists do. I'll bet that whoever wrote this law (and script), upon seeing a picture of a Muslim women in a burqa, would go on a tirade about crazy terrorists.

I guess my womb doesn't belong to me, though. I forgot that when I hit puberty the government started renting out the rights to my reproductive system.

You see, Jennifer, that's the beautiful thing about being a woman: each and every one of us is born with a little piece of government property right inside of us. That's something men will never have.

....Unless you mean legally, in the way that it's men who have made these laws and kind of indirectly own said properties...

Seriously, I can't wait to hear about the outlawing of hysterectomies.

If it was separate, it could survive outside of the woman's body. If it cannot, it is part of her body, and therefore under no one's jurisdiction but her own, period.

I hate men who legislate women's bodies.

Hah. You see, what you just did right there was beautifully and completely dismantle the logic behind this law. Agh, if only you were a rich pasty male.

I hate the women who subscribe to these anti-choice beliefs. It's a weird kind of hate. I want to call them traitors and misogynists, etc, but then I find myself feeling really, really bad for them.

But then I immediately go back to hating them.
