| That's right. Medical doctors, who on a daily basis have to cross angry lines of violent and lunatic protestors just so that women in America still have some choice in their lives, are no different than a demented mass murder who stalked the halls of Virginia Tech to murder 32 students and professors.
These medical doctors, many of whom live in fear because of death threats, because their cars are followed, because their homes are marked, because even their spouse or kids are marked, approached, and harrassed as a means of intimidating the doctor - these men and women who are being stalked....are..(stay with me ok? follow the "logic")....they are somehow not victims but the perpretators of the crime. And the stalkers who have harrassed, assaulted, and even killed pro-choice doctors are somehow....oh...good samaritans in Chuck Asay's world.
I suppose in Chuck's "up is down" world, no really does mean yes and women who are raped were just asking for it. Pathetic.
Chuck, the bodies of those 32 victims of Virgina Tech haven't even been buried and reichtwing nutjobs like you are already using the killing for their political agendas! |
| Asay has said he got into cartooning when he found out as a child that he couldn't "add, spell, read or write." I would also add (since Asay said he could not) that he has "an inability to think rationally" because anyone who cannot distinguish the difference between demented mass murderers and medicial doctors who perform medical procedures because they fundamentally disagree with your religious beliefs - that person, e.g., Chuck Asay, has no grasp of reality or rational thought.
I suppose it's a good thing Asay is drawing cartoons. With this kind of warped thinking, he could just as easily have been another violent Planned Parenthood protestor who, oh let's say, could justify homicidal thoughts and actions based on some silly little cartoon he saw.
Which compared medical doctors to domestic terrorists.
This, as long as we're talking about how to stop killings, is the kind of crap that gets doctors killed.
In which case, maybe the SCOTUS should ban Chuck Asay. Just saying.
I will close with words more eloquent than mine, from our own Reproduction Rights Specialist, Moiv: Women always have had abortions, and always will. That is an undeniable part of what women have always done, and who women have always been. To condemn abortion is, in a real sense, to condemn woman.
Are women who have abortions responsible moral agents who can be trusted to make loving and caring decisions about their own motherhood? Or are over a million American women who have abortions every year God-defying creatures who are "killing babies" and deserving of punishment?
While we continue allowing the Christian right to dodge that question, clandestine and unsafe abortion continues to kill 68,000 women a year. The time has come for us, as a people and as a nation, to make up our minds. It is time for us, like the people of Portugal, to speak.
And if you want to understand the Portugal context, click here:.
In fact, I invite you to read EVERY one of her posts because it really is MUCH WORSE than you think.
