Republican Men Will Take Away Abortion Rights; Obama Will Comply

RedTracker| Women of America. The fight to take away your legal right to a fair and safe abortion is on. Jezebel sounds the alarm; and I have a long record of saying we would reach this moment in the backward march of women’s rights in America.

If you think President Obama will bail us out of this one, forget it.

I have been haunted by the outfit our First Lady wore to the Vatican in July 2009 as a premonition of things to come. The president may be prochoice, but he’s just given us all a good understanding of where he will compromise.  I love our First Lady with my whole heart, but when I saw her at the Vatican, I knew it was all over for women.

I say President Obama will compromise on abortion.

Quote me and right it down. Anne of Carversville says that President Obama will cave on abortion, leaving all those liberal women who just couldn’t embrace Hillary Clinton speechless. The President will explain that he had to do it “for the good of the country”.

We restate the facts: the women of America are more like those in the Middle East than those in Europe. And we have no one to blame but ourselves.

For decades we’ve been too absorbed with ‘Sex and the City’ to care about feminism. American women practically made feminism a curse word, thanks to Conservatives saying that they will control women’s bodies and our saying “Okay, okay … here it is then. Just don’t call me bad names, cuz we’re good girls.”

You think women can’t be flogged in America like this poor woman in Sudan? Think again, my dears. The Old Ladies Rebellion is telling you to wake up and read the tea leaves. The men of Utah passed a law making miscarriage a felony. Thankfully, the governor vetoed the bill and there weren’t enough votes for an override.

New Speaker of the House John Boehner’s chief of staff just met with domestic terrorist Randall Terry on abortion. I quote “domestic terrorist” per Jezebel because I was hunted by one of these people and under police protection for a year.

This man wanted to kill me, after abortion was legalized in America, because he saw me on TV. I don’t even remember what I said that caused him to hunt me daily and finally come crashing onto my windshield on a cold, winter’s night where I was alone in a parking lot. Read on at Jezebel: Meet the Newly-Powerful Dudes Who Want To Regulate Your Uterus.

And then come back here and read what I’ve been trying to tell the women of America for the last three years. It’s all over for the Snake Charmer girls; we don’t have the guts to fight. Trust me when I say the Mama Grizzlies won’t bail us out of this one. 

We have handed control of our bodies back to th patriarchy, just as those poor women in Sudan. Next it will be jobs for the men of America. The men will need the jobs and women will be told to focus on family, like a good little woman. It’s as clear as day what is going to happen. 

As for me, I will probably be living in Europe, because I don’t think I can stomach everything that is going to happen. American women have made our bed; and now we will lie in it — whenever we’re told to do so. Christianity needs babies to fight for God. In a two-class America, rich women will figure things out, just like in Sudan. Anne

Women have given their lives for the right to own their bodies. It is a terrible step back to hand over our bodies to men to decide about pregnancy. It goes without saying that no woman LIKES having an abortion and all the women that have had to undergo a termination have done so feeling a tremendous sense of loss. But noone can and should force a woman to be a mother.
