“Pro-life,” my ass. 

Don’t they get it? If they were pro-life, they would be for the lives of the already living. Instead, they’re just anti-abortion and anti-child. Why can’t they see that in themselves? 

Disgusting. Fuck off, Scott. 

Oh yeah. Once you’re out of the womb and safe from an abortion, you are on your fucking own, babies!

Florida strikes again!
Scott why are you still governor? Why hasn’t someone thrown a shoe at him?
AGH I hate him so much.

If birth control was not “controversial” earlier this week, it is definitely about to be. Today, the Florida Senate budget committee adopted an amendment that strikes family planning, including birth control, from Medicaid bill 1972.

The amendment removes line 4186 of the Medicaid bill, which provides “family planning services” for low-income families and replaces it with an amendment that says that state Medicaid plans may elect to not provide birth control and other family planning services “due to an objection on moral or religious grounds.”

UNBELIEVABLE.

I feel so horrible for the families of Florida. This is appalling.

This is appalling.

Completely outrageous.
Why must Florida be run by such back-assward people?

Quote from Anthony Weiner’s very  funny speech at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner

I’d embrace it.

Read this, and you’ll understand.

“At one point [Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando] suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business.
 
Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn’t like the one-liner.
They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.”

  • * a bill sponsored by Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, and Rep. Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami, that would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks gestation, provides no exceptions for rape, incest and health issues. Called the “Pain-capable Unborn Child Protection Act,” that bill reasons that an abortion shouldn’t be performed at a gestational stage when the unborn child might experience pain. Current law allows abortions up to the 24th week of pregnancy.
  • A proposed constitutional amendment backed by Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami, would prohibit using public money for health insurance policies that include coverage of abortion (already the situation in many cases). It provides no exception in cases of rape or incest, if the pregnancy would jeopardize a mother’s health, or if the fetus is not developing properly.
  • The Health and Human Services Committee passed a bill sponsored by Rep. Rachel Burgin, R-Riverview, that would limit third-trimester abortions, require doctors performing abortions to receive ethics training and mandate that abortion clinics be owned by physicians.
  • the Senate banking and insurance committee passed a bill that would prohibit private insurers from covering abortions if the policy is paid for using any public money.
  • The most significant proposal is a bill from Rep. Charles Van Zant, R-Palatka, that would challenge the U.S. Supreme Court decision that guaranteed a woman’s right to choose. But without a companion in the Senate, it isn’t likely to progress.
  • The ultrasound measure requires a woman to get one before undergoing an abortion and be asked if she wants to review the results. “This is about the right of a woman considering the termination of a pregnancy to possess all of the relevant information made available to her so she can make a fully informed decision,” the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Elizabeth Porter, R-Lake City, told members of the House Health and Human Services Quality Subcommittee. “Knowledge is never a bad thing.” Opponents, though, say the measure interferes with the doctor-patient relationship and forces doctors to perform a procedure that may not be medically necessary.

At least 18 bills are filed so far this year specifically targeting abortion rights.

Many of the February organizers have school, work, and other obligations that they have to prioritize in March. This is COMPLETELY understandable!

However, this also means we need new organizers to step forward. There are absolutely no requirements other than passion about abortion rights! Big…

Please guys! If you want to start an Orlando walk let me know and I can forward you all the stuff!

I just got a mental image of John Boehner sitting in his office, seeing all these pictures of the rally and then it dawns on him…
