The Ongoing Effort To Make Mississippi a Third-World State

May 15, 2012 By mario piperni 11 Comments

They’re crawling out of the woodwork like roaches on a mission.

Mississippi state Rep. Bubba Carpenter (R) said that it’s OK for women to have coat hanger abortions because it’s for a greater good.

A video obtained by Rachel Maddow’s blog captures Carpenter saying he is proud of Mississippi’s attempts to outlaw abortion outright, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled abortions legal in the United States.

His exact words.

It’s going to be challenged, of course, in the Supreme Court and all — but literally, we stopped abortion in the state of Mississippi, legally, without having to– Roe vs. Wade. So we’ve done that. I was proud of it. The governor signed it into law. And of course, there you have the other side. They’re like, ‘Well, the poor pitiful women that can’t afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger. That’s what we’ve learned over and over and over.’

But hey, you have to have moral values. You have to start somewhere, and that’s what we’ve decided to do. This became law and the governor signed it, and I think for one time, we were first in the nation in the state of Mississippi.

The thinly veiled scam that Mississippi is pulling off here is passing a law they claim puts an end to coat hanger abortions by placing restrictions on which doctors can perform abortions in Mississippi. What the law does in fact is jeopardize the existence of Mississippi’s only abortion clinic thereby leaving women without the means to travel out of state to take matters into their own hands.

The only explanation I can think of on how legislators like Bubba in Mississippi can sleep at night after passing draconian laws that endanger the lives of women is that they’re sociopaths.

And the only explanation I can think of on how people can vote sociopaths like Bubba into office is that they’re a terribly ignorant and backward bunch.

Also, it should be illegal for anyone with the name ‘Bubba’ to enter politics.

Idiot Talk: Liberal’s Mission Is To Abort and Kill Children in the Womb

April 26, 2012 By mario piperni 7 Comments

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant is determined to keep his state’s ranking as the scariest place in America to have ladyparts (see yesterday’s post). Bryant has just signed a bill which could effectively shut down the state’s last remaining abortion clinic.

Here is how he defended the bill.

Even if you believe in abortion, the hypocrisy of the left that now tried to kill this bill, that says that I should have never signed it, the true hypocrisy is that their one mission in life is to abort children, is to kill children in the womb. It doesn’t really matter, they don’t care if the mother’s life is in jeopardy, that if something goes wrong that a doctor can’t admit them to a local hospital, that he’s not even board certified. We passed that bill and I think you’ll see other states follow and when that happens at least these fly-in abortionists are going to be regulated under the state laws of the Medical Procedures Act here in the state of Mississippi as they should be across the nation.

Who the hell is pro-abortion? No one should waste their time trying to explain to this asshole that there is a difference in being pro-choice as opposed to pro-abortion. He’d never understand.

The march backwards to a time when back alley abortions were a thriving enterprise is alive and well in Mississippi.

Roe v. Wade? What’s That?

April 25, 2012 By mario piperni 9 Comments

From Jezebel’s The Ten Scariest Places to Have Ladyparts in America.

With states governments from coast to coast working tirelessly to make sure no woman has sex for pleasure without suffering the consequences of blessed, precious motherhood, it may be tempting to believe that if you have a uterus, the entire country has become hostile territory. Well, we’ve got good news and bad news: The good news is that wherever you are, things could probably be much worse for your ladyparts. Unless, that is, you live in one of the ten scariest places to have ladyparts. The bad news is that these ten places exist.

You’re out of luck if you’re a woman and living in certain cities (I’d say most cities) in Texas, Tennessee, Idaho, Georgia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ohio, Kansas, South Dakota…as well as anywhere in ‘lovely’ Mississippi.

Sorry, Magnolia staters. Mississippi is far and away the scariest place to be a woman.

Barring judicial injunction, as of July 1, operations at the state’s only abortion clinic will be threatened because of a new law signed into law by Governor Phil Bryant. Every state that Mississippi touches has a 24-hour waiting period in place for women who want to have abortions, and earlier this year, the House passed a law barring women from receiving prescriptions for RU-486 via Skype or teleconference, so ladies in Mississippi are triply fucked.
The state also leads the nation in teen pregnancy and obesity, and worst in child wellness, but despite all of its problems that aren’t related to women having too many abortions, Mississippi’s legislators have stuck to something they know they can control— whether or not the ladies stay pregnant. They’re surprisingly mum, though, on making sure that the environment for pregnant ladies is devoid of pollutants that could cause birth defects and difficult pregnancies and stuff. Nope, let’s keep everything unregulated but the squishy baby houses.

If you live in Mississippi, you have my sincerest condolences.

The scariest part of all this is how bold the anti-choicers have become in restricting legal abortions in red states…and they’re getting away with it. Read the entire article and find out why “there’s nothing to dance about if you’re a set of fallopian tubes with the misfortune of finding yourself in Pocatello, Idaho.”

Right-Wing Insanity – The ‘Planned Parenthood Is Evil’ Edition

April 3, 2012 By mario piperni

They’re absolutely out of their crazed minds.

James Dobson (founder of Focus on the Family):

If you scratch around anywhere near the Planned Parenthood message and the function of Planned Parenthood, you see wickedness; you see evil.

His son Ryan chimed in with what he hopes happens to Planned Parenthood’s buildings once abortion returns to being classified as a criminal offense.

I hope what happens is what they did in Germany after World War II that the people living near concentration camps, they walk them through those areas. That’s what they did to the Germans, those living near the concentration camps, the government walked them through those places where they were killing people every day saying ‘this is what you let happen.’ Every Planned Parenthood and abortion provider in America, the people living in those communities around them should have to go through and say ‘this is what you let happen.’

And some nutjob named Kristan Hawkins who represents an outfit called ‘Students for Life’ has uncovered Planned Parenthood’s real agenda. It involves bad condoms, low-dose birth control, a bunch of abortions and loads of money.

[PP] give you the lowest ranked condoms that are available on the market today, the lowest ranked by Consumer Reports condoms, so you think Planned Parenthood’s great, they’re giving you bad condoms, then they’re going to give you birth control that can cause breast cancer, they’re going to give you low-dose birth control, and then they’re going to give you an abortion, and this is their plan to make money.

Remember, this stuff is no longer idle chatter being spoken by a few crazies existing on the right’s fringe. This stuff has become mainstream conservative madness.

Republican War on Women: Georgia’s Cows and Pigs Edition

March 20, 2012 By mario piperni

In case you missed this one from last week, it’s a beaut.

A speech from a Georgia Republican state representative surfaced last week in which he compared women seeking abortions of stillborn fetuses to cows and pigs.

State Rep. Terry England was speaking in favor of HB 954, which makes it illegal to obtain an abortion after 20 weeks even if the woman is known to be carrying a stillborn fetus or the baby is otherwise not expected to live to term.

He then recalled his time working on a farm:

“Life gives us many experiences…I’ve had the experience of delivering calves, dead and alive. Delivering pigs, dead or alive. It breaks our hearts to see those animals not make it.”

Unbelievable. There are no more words to describe these people. It’s as if right-wing crazies all crawled out at the same time from behind rotting woodwork and are now in desperate need to make their presence known.

This is what happens when a political party with a strong history of evangelical lunacy and racism built into its core spends 30 years pandering to nutjobs, extremists and bigots within the party and then wakes up one morning to discover that their President is a black guy named Barack Obama. What you’re currently witnessing is the Republican party’s implosion as the fringe element goes mainstream.

Terry England is not some solitary whack-job talking about the voices he hears in his head which lets him know that pregnant women are no different than cows and pigs. Terry England is a Republican state congressman who is expressing the same type of condescending, dangerous and misogynistic beliefs held by Republican politicians (almost all male) in Texas, Alabama, Virginia, Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Arizona who wish to pass (or have passed) repressive legislation against women and their reproductive rights.

The insanity has gone viral in conservative and Republican ranks which is what led writer Soraya Chemaly to point out that, “The rest of the civilized world thinks this country has lost its mind.”

Not the entire country; just it’s right-wing. The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s going on before it’s too late.

Here is what a lost mind sounds like when given a bit of power and a microphone.
