Your Womb is a Wonderland

So if your employer is a Jehova’s Witness, he can refuse insurance that pays for blood transfusions or organ transplants.

Wow, did these douchebags even take 5 minutes to consider the implications of this law?

Welcome to the krayzee side of politics. Please be sure to check your brain at the door.

Seriously, they’ve gone from protecting so-called religious freedom, to bestowing employers the right to force their religious beliefs on their employees.

This should be fun to watch.

Fits with what they were shrieking about in 09 in the aftermath of their defeat. “More contarded. More wingnutty.” The problem was that the 2010 “showed” they were, um, “right” so they ratcheted up the insanity. I agree with you here. Overreach is a very bad thing. Since wingnuts are fond of using war analogies, I’ll use one from a war they never give a shit about. We are seeing something akin to Korea Winter of 1950. Inchon (Teabagger victories in 2010) has given the GOPers confidence that their more wingnutty is better “ideas.” Problem is that China (the female voters) is getting antsy. Don’t they think that the brawl over Komen’s boneheaded decision on PP wasn’t their warning shot not to fuck over women? Good luck with that.

On a personal level, the GOP sounds like a lot like my soon to be ex housemate. Give an inch, take a mile. Unfortunately, I’ve only handled things slightly better than Barry.

Republicans are weak without any substantive wedge issues to beat over wayward voter’s heads. And the gay-marriage amendment thingy just ain’t quite making the cut. So, time to beef up some more anger. And it seems it doesn’t matter what side of the wedge (pointed or blunt) republicans are on, it still works in their favor.

Forgive the babbling… not quite awake yet.

Also…

I wonder how the AMA and the insurance industry feels about all of this? Would love to get their input.

The only question in my mind is which amendment they go after first – the 13th, the 14th, or the 19th. I would go with the 14th, but they’d want to preserve a corporations-only version of the Privileges and Immunities clause.

I figure this bill lasts about 5 minutes after Gaffney and the rest of the Professional Anti-Mooslem Freak-out Squad realize that it actually WOULD (sort of) allow employers to “enforce Sharia law”.

Bring the popcorn.

@ManchuCandidate: Don’t beat up on yourself about how slowly your divesting yourself of obnoxious roommate is going. What’s important is your doing it, not how long it has taken.

@lynnlightfoot:
Thanks. It has just been a bad time for relationships for me. When that happens I spend a lot of time looking in. Ironic/stupid thing is that I’m doing all the introspection for both of us.

WaPo, Thursday: Is birth control fight a Terri Schiavo moment?

And here I thought the comparison was a stretch, when it was just ahead of the curve.
