Today the House of Representatives passed a bill that would prohibit the teaching of a constitutionally legal medical procedure. If you or your school receives federal funding - and face it, that's everyone these days - then you cannot teach or be taught how to provide an abortion.
Doctors all over the world and here in America are taught procedures that they may never use. Why? Because they become necessary even when they're not part of your practice. Imagine some poor woman having just been in an auto accident who is 4 months pregnant. The baby dies. In such a circumstance the woman in question would need an abortion to save her life, and these fuckfaces have just decided that they can't learn how to do it.
Doctors have to have a complete understanding of everything that is possible in the human body. That includes things they or you might not find palatable. My own doctor doesn't perform prostate exams, but she knows how to do one. When I had one last year I could have a conversation with her about it because she understood the procedure and how it all worked, and how it tied to other parts of the body. The knowledge is important, because otherwise you have a doctor who is ignorant of what is possible in the human body. Doctors who don't keep these skills up are lawsuit magnets.
So the House of Representatives have passed a bill that says that Doctors cannot know how a certain procedure works, and what it's possible effects are. This puts them at a disadvantage of treating anyone who has had an abortion, because they would not understand the potential effects and affects on the person who has been through this. This is fucking insane.
Enough.
I posted on facebook yesterday that I would pay good money to anyone who would say "Eric Cantor, fuck you" on the floor of the House of Representatives for his position that tornado victims should not receive assistance unless another government program is cancelled. That was appalling. This is even worse.
My top of page claim has always been the question "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I try to see good in people, but there is no good in this. It is just plain evil. These are bad people. Mean people. People with no empathy in their bodies. They're fucking liars.
People like this shouldn't exist - you would expect to find them in some cheap pot-boiler thriller - maybe a Tom Clancy novel - but in real life these people don't deserve the dignity they have been afforded, nor the kindness of strangers as they are unwilling to extend the same courtesy to others.
This is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard, and given some of the stupid things I've written about that's really saying something. This congress, led by the Republicants, have done nothing constructive in the 5 months they've held office. Not one fucking thing, but many a stupid thing. It's a pity that we can't just chuck the whole lot of them out and start again.
Cheap shots:
The Undefeated? Really? Um, really? Bitch™, you lost!!!
I wonder if this is an intentional step towards moving to join Keith Olbermann.
And because I love you, The Blue Aeroplanes (not a video - just close your eyes and listen)
