Scare Tactics and Silly Liberal Rhetoric

maidenjediI'm so flustered by this that I have to laugh at it, because I otherwise I will get very, very angry.
I'd like someone, somewhere, to remind Oprah and her clones and cronies that Woman Does Not Equal Liberal Democrat. Seriously. I'm pro-life, pro-modesty, and I'm - gasp - a WOMAN.
Prove to me that the Bush administration is sexist, damnit. And don't use abortion as your one issue. That proves NOTHING, since the pro-life movement is not concerned with anything except the lives of unborn children. You want choice? You got it, babe - before you get in bed with that guy and conveniently forget the condom, you can CHOOSE to be responsible about it.
And yeah, I get to say this. I've had sex. Lost my virginity when I was 16. And I'm damned lucky I never got pregnant. But I was also not stupid. I took the time, the money, and risked the embarrassment of purchasing condoms myself - I never left it up to the guy. I went to the gynecologist when I was 18 and went on the pill to back it up.
I'm very tired of pro-choice women throwing rape victims and such in my face as well. Planned Parenthood's own statistics say that 70% of abortions are done because women don't want the child to affect their lifestyles. That right there tells me there need to be limits.
AND HOW DOES ILLEGAL ABORTION MAKE SEX NOT FUN!?
I'm not sure how that works, exactly.
Also, appointing one more right-wing or pro-life judge will not likely sway the vote in favor of overturning the Roe v Wade decision.
I hate, HATE that there are women voting for Kerry on the premise that under him, sex will remain fun, and their precious right to kill their children at will - so they won't have to shop at CostCo, thank you so much for that, Amy Richards - will remain in place.
I'll shut up now and let you all read it.....
