Pure fucking evil.
May karma fuck him up and fuck him up again and yet again until this broken shell of what was once charitably described as a human dies.
Then may whatever supernatural/religious/mystical force one chooses to believe or not believe in bring him back somehow. And may he suffer it all again.
And again.
And again.
And again…
I can see a new trend in tourism advertising for Illinois-come visit a state where you won’t be arrested for medical care!
In case anyone has any interest, hearings today (right now) on Roe:
Obergefell is speaking right now.
[ETA] The first fucking republican out of the gates brings up inflation… and then Dread Scott… like he gives a shit about Enslavement.
ETA: “time, talent, and treasure”? WTF does “treasure” mean? Is that some Christian thing?
I can’t remember where the expression originates from, but ‘treasure’ is just a t-word to fit with time and talent. It means you can bring any combo of your time, your skills, or your money to work on an issue.
It just struck me as maybe coming from that evangelical Christian perspective with regards to women’s contribution to Christian culture…
Also, did everyone see that tense exchange between Cohen and (I think the guy’s name, but Hank, who went earlier) Johnson… And then Jackson Lee just slammed them. She’s fantastic.
Now Darrell Issa is being a dick. 
They are all trotting out the same BS about the life of the child, how ending Roe isn’t ending abortion… He brought up Dread Scott.
Can I say that Nadler is running this committee like a dictator.
[ETA] WTF? Gohmert is a fucking monster… He’s whinging about PP coming between him and his daughter (as if she’s property)… and now he’s bringing up the covid vax… he just said “alters the RNA”… And he’s setting up an argument for banning birth control by saying that PP is coercing young teens (as young as possible, he said) so that it can fail and they can do abortions…
I’ve always heard it used in regard to non-profit involvement, but it could have started in Christian circles, definitely.
Ah! Gotcha! They like to appropriate all sorts of things, so entirely possible.
Thanks for the clarification.
[ETA] UGH… Butthead is bringing up when will gay couples need abortion care. And is now grandstanding about how he “cares” about the LGBQT+.
He’s ignoring that gay couples have been adopting WHILE roe existed. What a disingenuous shithead.
[ETA] Gym Jordan is now claiming that (AFTER SUPPORTING A FUCKING INSURRECTION) that people trying to confront Kavanaugh at dinner as being (essentially) terrorist. And he’s now going on about the guy arrested outside of Kavanaugh’s house and talking about the assassination attempt being shocking… same guy who support a fucking coup. Asshole.
[ETA] Now Buck is using projection to show us what the far right plans. He claims that there has been NO violence against abortion clinics, ignoring the bombing campaign of Eric Rudolph (among others), or the abortion providers who have been killed. He’s claiming that the left is the real violent group, ignoring the fact that the GOP had a president who cozied up to the far right that DID kill people and were spoiling for a civil war… On about “left-wing” violence again. And now that anti-choice hack is going on about “tragic vandalism”…
Jayapal pointed out the hypocrisy! 
Glad someone had the vagina of steel to tell the truth!
[ETA] Now Biggs is calling the “left” extreme. He mentioned Malta, where an American citizen nearly DIED for lack of abortion care. But hey… sure, the “left” is “extreme”…
[ETA] The witness who does work for pregnancy crisis centers just refused to call the abortion that the 10 year old had to have because she was raped an abortion.
[ETA] The pregnancy crisis lady also brought up Margaret Sanger, calling her the worst eugenicists in history. 
[ETA] Listening to Fitzgerald, it strikes me that they’ve (republicans) have been doing this weird thing, between screaming about left-wing extremism and dismissing concerns about abortion actually being banned nationally, because it’s a “patchwork” as he noted. And now Escobar is bringing up the reality of late term abortion, which is 99% of times are due to threat to health for the mother, or a non-viable fetus. She just said what we all know, that the GOP believes women are expendable.
C’mon Esobar!
Preach.
“The GOP may be pro-forced birth, but they are FAR from pro-life.”
Now they have Owens, who is a Black republican, defending Thomas and whinging about other Black men calling him an “uncle tom”… He also has an MLK quote up behind him.
[ETA] Johnson just called the Democrats “hysterical” over abortion bans about where this could head. And then he condescended to Warbelow and gave the remainder of his time to that pregnancy crisis asshole. and he also name checked King.
[ETA] Several republicans have used the term “birth certificate” to describe the constitution… 
I had to turn that shit off temporarily.
For work or your sanity?
The professor just pushed back against the invoking of Sanger.
Both are why I am not listening. I appreciate you giving us this info.
It was depressing, although many of the Democrats were great.
when a white man does it, it’s not illegal. Just like when it’s one of the special cases (like when it’s a white man’s mistress), it’s not actually an abortion… /s
Action? Reaction.
The calls for better abortion access in the province grew louder following last month’s controversial reversal of Roe v. Wade by the United States Supreme Court.
For reference, that’s Erin Hawley, who is not a physician and but who is a law professor, member of the Federalist Society, and conservative anti-choice (really anti-feminist) activist. She’s also the wife of noted fascist Senator and insurrection fan Josh Hawley.
