Many years ago, the state of Queensland in Australia debated whether to force female residents to take a pregnancy test before leaving the state (whether traveling elsewhere in Australia or overseas). The idea was: to stop Qld women from getting legal abortions elsewhere.

I can’t find any links; it was about 30 years ago when a certifiable nutjob named Joh Bjelke-Pertsen was Queensland’s Premier.

I believe that this is where Team USA might be headed.

Well, you must have missed the old plagarist, Mike Barnicle, on Morning Mika today, announcing that “The Voters are worried about the deficit!!!”

Not jobs. Not low pay. Not expiring unemployment benefits. Not a devastating health crisis with inadequate insurance. Not transvaginal probes. Not Kenyan usurpers. Not Kenyan Slurpees. Not a terrorist attack. Not another fucking Keanu Reeves movie.

The voters are worried about the DEFICIT…Finger on the pulse, bitches!

Funny how, in keeping with your light socket hypothesis, every electrician I’ve ever met has been a union-member. Probably not voting Republican this year. Showed up to too many McMansions to only to see a pasty litter of Satan hating wee-wee’ers with uniformly blackened tongues.

How sad that he is still plagiarizing old David Broder columns. Not that anyone read them in their original form…

Well, there have always been people who believed in the Devil and Christians have always been the majority in America, so it isn’t like we’re THAT much dumber now. :)

Seriously, once you believe in the Devil you’re sort of “same street, different house” from the Republicans.

We can call it Rosemary’s Law!

My wife’s email is lucifer. She didn’t pick it, fellow students when she was in college did and she has kept it ever since just to P.O. the computing center weenies at the college.

Maybe this will give all those bishops something to do.

Or we can just push them into the deep end of the pool with their hands tied at the YMCA and see if they float.

What I don;t get. There was a place that was able to enact an Every Sperm is Sacred Paradise and in living memory to boot.

Doesn’t anyone remember Romania?
From wikipedia:

In 1957, [abortion] was officially legalized in Romania, following which 80% of pregnancies ended in abortion, mainly due to the lack of effective contraception. In 1966 abortion was criminalized (except in exceptional cases) again, by Decree 770[5] under the rule of Nicolae Ceauşescu. The natalist policy was completed with mandatory gynecological revisions and penalizations for single women over 25 and married couples without children.[5]

The sudden effect of this policy was a transition from a birth rate of 14.3‰ in 1966 to 27.4‰ in 1967. Between 1972 and 1985, further decrees altered the minimum age for legal abortion.[5] The children born in this period, especially between 1966 and 1972, are nicknamed the decreţei (singular decreţel). They had to put up with crowded public services as the state was not ready for the sudden increase. The word decreţei has a negative nuance for the perceived mental and physical damage due to the risky pregnancies and failed illegal abortions.[6]

This policy was reversed in 1989, after the Romanian Revolution, and, since that time, abortion has been legal in Romania.

Doesn’t everyone remember the horrid scenes in the orphanages where children had been abandoned because their parents (often single mothers) could not look after them? Jesus Jumping Christ it was only back in 1989-90 that it all came to light.

I actually know someone who adopted one of these poor “Iron Crib” kids.

All because Ceaucescu was a friggin’ bigot like the Gates of Vienna clowns.

There was a film just a few years ago “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” that illustrates that time period in Romania. It is a devastating portrayal of what life for pregnant women could be like.

11th dimensional chess not withsatnding, the WH set the “contraception trap” and the rabid rabble loving gop swallowed it hook, line, sinker and reel.

The birth control kerfuffle gave Frothy McMixMaster a much needed bump in the polls and made mittbot work harder for states he should be winning easily.

mittbot wins the nomination, but he has far too many scars to win the general. The WH will undoubtedly pummel mittbot as a flip flopper. The American voter knows this term all to well. Hey, gop…karma! Its a bitch!
