I was gonna wait to post this news article, because I wanted to gather my thoughts so that I would be able to express myself and my anger in a clear, concise, and civil manner.
Well, fuck that. These assholes don't deserve civility. They deserve to be addressed as the scourge that they are.
White House Tries to Define Contraception As Abortion
In a spectacular act of complicity with the religious right, the Department of Health and Human Services Monday released a proposal that allows any federal grant recipient to obstruct a woman's access to contraception. In order to do this, the Department is attempting to redefine many forms of contraception, the birth control 40 percent of Americans use, as abortion. [full story]
Are you fucking kidding me? Pregnancy prevention = abortion?
I mean, it's fucking bad enough that Bush is making sure that
anti-choice people can keep their health care jobs even if they don't do them, but now this? Dude seriously, what the fuck?
Seriously, how long until "pulling out" becomes included in the definition of abortion?
"Well, your dick was already in there, and you were ready to ejaculate, and you interrupted the natural course of action of impregnating that woman by pulling out, so, by definition, you aborted the pregnancy, sir." You might laugh, but surely, there are people out there who really think this, and it's only a matter of time before they're heard. You know, because they're religious, and therefore, moral, and therefore, their opinions matter much more than godless and/or science and logic based opinions.

Seriously - I'm waiting for them to reintroduce the Comstock Act. Because all us bitches shouldn't be allowed to make crazy decisions about our fertility! What do we think this is, a free country?
Fuckers.

they were just saying on the news that we're in the midst of a second baby boom very much like that of the post-war one decades ago.
Yeah, let's overpopulate the planet a little more so we can REALLY kill all of our resources!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

OMG, that is so ridiculous! They're probably trying to force people to make more soldiers for their stupid wars.
And uh, what's up with forcing everyone to get digital television? Hate to sound like a conspiracist, but I wonder if it has something to do with HAARP...

OK, it's bad enough that these freaks are trying to intimidate women trying to get an abortion - now they're going after birth control?!? (cue the "Every Sperm is Sacred" song from Monty Python's Meaning of Life)
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if these fuckers insist that everyone on the planet give birth to babies they don't want or can't afford, then they should be forced to open their homes and take in and care for all these babies, since they must obviously have the means to do so.
Hypocritical fuckers. They piss me off.
Oh! and are these fuckwads gonna go to China and reverse the forced IUD program they have over there? You know, the one where the guards can do a scan to make sure that thing is still in there?
Sheesh. /rant.

I was thinking of the Monty Python song as well. The thoughts brains can have when idle for so long. Sheesh! No way the law can be enforced so it'll never happen.
Oh, and Monica, the reason for the digital TV conversion is because all of the usable radio frequencies have been taken up by the increase in wireless devices like network routers and cell phones. The conversion was supposed to happen around 2003, but the government pushed it back so companies could convert slowly and with less cost and people could replace older analog sets with digital sets when they needed to be replaced.
