Messed up Harry Blackmun's name AGAIN!!! For some reason, I always want him to be "Lewis." Sorry about that.

I will always remain gobsmacked at the sheer hypocrisy of a political party--a party that supposedly stands for smaller government and less government intervention in our lives--when it basically inserts itself in a woman's uterus (apologies for being graphic) and decides IT knows what is best for how it is to be used. That's "intervening" in someone's life about as much as is humanly possible. And that in a majority of the cases it is MEN who do this is "de klap op de vuurpijl" (a Dutch expression I can't really translate, but is similar to "the straw that broke the camel's back"). Funny how they accuse Democrats of meddling in everyone's lives, yet when they do it--essentially ramming their Christo-fascist morality down our collective throats--suddenly it's okay. I guess they didn't learn anything from their losses in the last election, and pundits point to abortion as being an issue that motivated a lot of Democratic and Progressive voter turnout. Weren't they paying attention?? Never mind...we'll just keep harping on it until '24 and see what happens then, won't we?
