you take a heart I can take out you
" I want you tell me all the ways you’ve been unkind. Tell me all the ways you’ve been cruel. See, I wanna know more than what you do for a living. I wanna know how much of your life you spend just giving. And if you love yourself enough to also receive sometimes. I wanna know if you bleed sometimes through other people’s wounds."
You know what pisses me off about this? Really, REALLY pisses me off? That’s George (H.W.) Bush holding that umbrella. He was president 1981-1989. Do you get that?
It means that the right have not budged an inch on their ridiculous pro-foetus, anti-actual-persons position in THIRTY GODDAMN YEARS. We should not still be having this argument! Thirty year old political cartoons should be bafflingly opaque, not crystal clear!

If Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate, Representative Paul Ryan, were to win next month’s election, the harm to women’s reproductive rights would extend far beyond the borders of the United States.
In this country, they would support the recriminalization of abortion with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and they would limit access to contraception and other services. But they have also promised to promote policies abroad that would affect millions of women in the world’s poorest countries, where lack of access to contraception, prenatal care and competent help at childbirth often results in serious illness and thousands of deaths yearly. And the wreckage would begin on Day 1 of a Romney administration.

Feminists: They literally believe that their life is in danger.

13-year-old gives self-abortion at home using a pencil
The Way It Was (MotherJones’ phenomenal article about what it was like for women before Roe v. Wade)
Gerri Santoro, Becky Bell, Susannah Lattin - three women who died from illegal abortions (trigger warning - graphic photos)
Birth is 11 times more deadly than an abortion
New study: contraception saves women’s lives
So, uh, yeah, our lives are kinda in danger.
Not to mention:
“House Republicans are still blocking the reauthorization [of the Violence Against Women Act], which passed the Senate this spring, because of added protections and services for LGBT, Native American, and immigrant abuse victims.”—

And yet, we still don’t offer servicewomen access to abortion.
Rep. Linda Black (D-Bonne Terre), who opposed the veto override in the House, said that while she is “pro-life,” she believes the bill will not prevent abortions. “It will lead to more by reducing birth control access,” she told colleagues.
Why the fuck don’t more people understand this?

In fact, for a party so fanatically obsessed with bootstraps, Horatio Alger myths, and the idea that everything before them was built with their own bare hands, the word “poverty” was never spoken. No one ever addressed the fact that women of every ethnicity are more impoverished than their male counterparts in the US. None of these women stumping for the most radically anti-choice presidential ticket in decades mentioned that Romney’s vow to repeal the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would keep women of all ages and educations from making the same amount of money as their male counterparts.
