I wish the Democrats would grow a set when it comes to women's rights. You know, instead of just throwing us under the fucking bus.

And fuck Stupak. Asshole, forced birther mother-fucker.

Yeah, Democrats, I know you think, "Well, where else are women going to go? We don't have to keep any promises, or even treat them like human beings as long as the Republicans are worse."

Fuck you. Fuck you. FUCK YOU!!!

GAH! I am too pissed off to be articulate. More later.

Because I'm tired of this "it's no big deal it's already the law" argument:

From NOW: "President Obama made an eleventh-hour agreement to issue an executive order lending the weight of his office to the anti-abortion measures included in the bill. This move was designed to appease a handful of anti-choice Democrats who have held up health care reform in an effort to restrict women's access to abortion. This executive order helps to cement the misconception that the Hyde Amendment is settled law rather than what it really is -- an illegitimate tack-on to an annual must-pass appropriations bill. It also sends the outrageous message that it is acceptable to negotiate health care reform on the backs of women."

The Hyde Amendment is not a bill, but an amendment that must be renewed each year. One that Obama campaigned against.

Which is to say I totally agree with the OP.
