(Thanks to Liberals are cool/Facebook for this.)

I say it often:  We're all "pro life" unless we have serious mental health problems.  We liberals also believe women's bodies (men's bodies, too) belong to them.  Not their doctors.  Not their government.  Not their ministers.  "Pro life" Lefties are mostly pro life when it comes to the death penalty and fighting wars of choice.  

House Republicans are immersed in their abortion obsession again.  Rep. Trent Franks said the number of pregnancies resulting from rape "are very low."  He's sponsoring a bill to ban almost all abortions after a fetus reaches the age of 20 weeks.  We know by now these men are pro-fetus, anti-woman.  They have no qualms about cutting funding that benefits BABIES and CHILDREN after they come into this world.  No problem cutting Planned Parenthood, WIC or food assistance (formerly known as food stamps-- about $30 a week, often to feed a whole family).   They have no problem seeing Head Start cut to the bone.  And of course they've been doing all they can to eradicate public education for a while now.  Don't get me started on their efforts to repeal "Obamacare."

I will stop before I blow my lid about all things Republicans this morning.   Especially those who ran on platforms of job creation and, once elected, becoming focused on restricting women's health choice.   Good Lefties from all over:  We must clean House next election!
