The view from PUMA-land.
Somewhere out beyond any known galaxy, anyway, on a planet
of Amazons obsessed with their own anatomy, Obama’s attack on the Great Society
and the New Deal has not even been noted, it seems.
The botched syntax is her own.
The botched syntax is her own.
My theory is that Roe
dealt a huge blow to the movement for women’s equality because once it was
decided, many women had the mistaken idea that the battle was won.
Instead, Roe became
the political football for BOTH political parties.
It’s the primary criteria for which party voters decide they
belong.
It’s the fear tactic
that Democrats use to corral women to vote against their economic interests as
much as it is the tactic that Republicans
use to rally their constituents to feel power and control over other people’s
lives.
. . . . .
Because abortion has
been such a cultural hot potato, we tend
to see women as a collection of body parts, primarily reproductive body
parts.
We are uteruses and vaginas and breasts and all of our discussion is
about who gets to control those body parts.
I am not a man or a
male hiring manager but I have to wonder what crosses men’s minds when they see
a female colleague.
Do they consider her
intelligence, determination, ingenuity and hard work or do they secretly thank
god that they weren’t born with ovaries that are subject to religious and
governmental regulation?
I am a man.
The answers are Yes and No, respectively.
But she’ll never get it because of the way she sees men, women, and the world.
And she is really
out there.
By the way, the Times editorial on Ginsberg’s comment that
she links to is fascinating.
I disliked Roe then and I dislike it now for the same reason,
late term abortion is just infanticide by another name and I dread and oppose
the legalization of infanticide for any but the most compelling grounds for
euthanasia.
And I have never sided with the feminist demand that the
choice, if there is one, be entirely that of the pregnant woman with the advice
of her chosen physician, the latter being the only man, if such happens to be
the case, with any say in the matter, at all.
The Times editorial board has quite a different view.
Oh, and I really
dislike the ERA.
Talk about an invitation for endless further intrusions of
judicial dictatorship.
And that’s the point, of course.
Meanwhile, Digby has apparently noticed the existence of
numerous soi-disant liberals like the
BooMan willing to stop worrying about cat food, given how close they are to an
enormous boost in the Democrats' Hispanic vote.
David Atkins was furious, the other day.
Digby also had this up to show the spending priorities of O’s
big money contributors.
You know.
They guys who own the Democratic Party and set the
priorities.
Very revealing.
These folks are not the biggest fans of FDR or LBJ, are they?
