Get this. I was perusing the comments on one of the sites and when someone asked about that. Here was the response about losing Roe v Wade:
I'm 57 and past child bearing age so it won't affect me. My daughter and her boyfriend practice contraception. Those young feminists will just have to do it on their own. That will teach them how strong we are.
I about damn near died. I've seen similar responses on several sites. How effing stupid to want to punish generations of women because her candidate lost. Just these women voicing that crap enrages me. I guess they won't mind seeing women die with coat hangars in their hand.
Except they always do. At least the OnlyClintonSupportersCount is honest about consequences.
I am very much of child bearing age and feel like punching someone.
I'm not worried about Roe V Wade if McCain is elected, because I think we'll have enough of a majority in the Senate to block anyone truly offensive.
Yes, because replacing Ginsburg or Stevens with a moderate Republican won't do any damage at all.
WE NEED LIBERALS OR WE'RE TOAST. It extends far beyond Roe vs Wade, that's just the easiest argument. The court is now set up as the ultimate authority in the land.
Supreme Court. Republicans have been stacking the Circuit Courts too. No need to worry about losing a case in the Supreme Court if you have Circuit Court judges to prevent the case from getting there.
Democrats who are so petty, so selfish, so childish to dismiss the incredible damage the republicans have done and will do to this country are a waste of time to talk to.
RECESS APPOINTMENT
We need liberal judges on the courts and we're only gonna get that with a Democratic President. Otherwise we're going to get four to eight years of either moderate or conservative Republican justices or no judges at all and the entire judicial system comes to a standstill.
I had a friend years ago that was raped. I had to drive her to the clinic and hold her hand because she could not go to her own family (think about why for a moment). It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do to be strong for her when all I wanted to do was rage and scream and be physically ill. I am crying again just thinking about it.
The idea that she would be deprived the medical care she needed in that situation make me angry and sick all over again. The idea that older women would willingly subject a younger generation to that shocks me beyond ration thought.
It's all about ME
This is the bad element of the baby boomers. The groups that learned how to protest but never learned how to do it effectively.
Or the portion of that 80 million you consider as having gone `bad'. That's how many baby boomers there are, you know - 80 million. Add in the 'Jones' generation (1954 - 1964, of which I'm a part - another 53 million, by the way) - and you have almost half the population of the United States. And we ALL think alike (or almost all). We ALL hate those younger than us. Please! Saying there's a 'bad element' of baby boomers is flat out bigoted. It's like saying that since most serial killers are males in their late 20's that all 20-something males are really serial killers in situ.
I don't agree with targeting anyone for any reason. This election has been both racist and sexist - and sexist in the extreme. The extreme racism's yet to come, I fear. As soon as Obama's the nominee it will roar out of the gate - just as gender bashing has with Hillary Clinton. As a human being I'm pissed as hell about both.
Here is what a poster on this very site said:
I don't give a crap about abortion. I've raised two adopted kids and thank their natural mothers every day. Whoa! Does that mean I'm not a Democrat because I don't toe the line?

Oh lovely. Yes, let's make women have babies conceived through rape, incest. Then let's force them to give them away because, geee, that won't cause any emotional damage. I remember those days quite well and it was disgusting. It won't just be legal abortion that disappears but that doesn't concern them. They just want what they want and everyone else be damned. This is the most selfish group of women my age I've ever seen.
I guess they like the idea of continuing war and fiscal insanity too. I mean, what the heck, McCain's latest remark about the housing and economic problems was that it was psychological. Pfffft!
as a matter of fact, I despise the act and could care less if it's legal or not
but I'm not willing to hand a victory to the Christian Fascists hell bent on turning our country into the Christian Saudi Arabia, and if it means abortion will be legalized, then so be it, I'll deal.
