The Anti-Choicers In Florida

From Progress Florida: "The assault on women and their health care decisions is about to reach new heights in Florida. Extreme right wing activists are attempting to put a constitutional amendment on Florida’s 2012 ballot that would give a fertilized egg the legal rights of a living person.

Such a radical amendment would unleash a Pandora’s Box of cruel and unnecessary consequences for all of Florida’s families. It would outlaw all abortions, even in the horrific cases of rape and incest. It could also outlaw commonly used forms of birth control, including The Pill and emergency contraception."

I can certainly envision this proposed amendment to be one of many radical amendments to the Florida Constitution. We already have given pigs Constitutional status, so why not a fertilized egg? The radical extremists could even carry this anti-choice issue further into the realm of the insane.

Let's give sperm and the unfertilized egg legal status, too. That would definitely give the government and their right wing extremist supporters complete control over our reproductive rights. This new amendment could make it illegal not to use sperm and the egg for procreation. This would ensure our species overpopulates an already overcrowded planet. This law, of course, would render masturbation and nocturnal emissions illegal activities since sperm would not be utilized for its lawful purpose.

Hey, don't laugh! The gates to the asylums have been flung open and the loonies are on the loose. There was a discussion on TV the other day about a similar law being considered in Mississippi. The question about an unfertilized egg was brought up in the context of its legal status.

One last thought: On the possibility of outlawing various forms of contraception, Progress Florida neglected to mention tube-tying and vasectomies. Talk about opening Pandora's box! Untie those tubes ladies, and guys, glue the vas deferens back together. Fornicating for fun is verboten!

My position on the abortion issue is this: If you don't have a box, then you have no standing on the issue. So, to the male extremists who are pushing this agenda, go take your pud and pound it somewhere else and leave the Florida Constitution and a woman's uterus alone.

And to the women, if these ass-holes don't start minding their own business then take your business off the table. Shut down the vagina until these right wing activists shut their pie holes.
