Government Owned Pregnancy (GOP)
Well, it appears that no woman is safe when the Texas legislature is in session. Yesterday, the Texas Senate OK'd an amended bill for women's health services which excludes Planned Parenthoud and morning-after pills for rape victims.
Let me see if I understand this...........
If a woman gets raped,

the doctor in the emergency room is not allowed to prescribe a drug to prevent pregnancy.
So, if she does become pregnant, she will be forced to carry the pregnancy to full term.

Not that it matters anyway, because if your local pharmacist happens to be a right wing-nut, he or she may refuse to fill the prescription anyhow.
What if a woman is unable to pay for healthcare during the pregnancy or raise the child born of this violence?
Well, there is always medical research, GOP $tyle. That's where the Environmental Protection Agency pays you money to expose your child to pesticides.
The study makes payments to families totaling $970 for participating throughout the entire two-year period. Families who complete the study also get to keep the camcorder they are provided to record their babies’ behavior. In addition, families are given bibs, t-shirts and other promotional items...
Well, nevermind about the Neuremberg Code, and ethics, and all that stuff.
So what do the letters G-O-P stand for?
Government Owned Persons
Government Owned Pregnancy....
Government Owned Pootie-Tang?
Oh, I know...... Government Owned Pesticides!!!!! I wonder if there is a Tom Delay connection????? Silly me, there I go again.

The Democrats are a bunch of big losers who refuse to listen to their own Party. Everyone knows in Texas and in the South, (I am a female, feminist) right now, the only way you can win is to have a white male, moderate. Just keep signing up everybody else and keep on losing and losing and losing. Now the Democrats are talking about running an Asian for God sake's. We just love losing. Now is the time to send someone again'st Tom Delay and a real change of winning. But, once again, the Democrats will send in a bunch of losers. How sad for the Democratic Party I believe the Rep. will be the winning party for the next 40 years and the Dem. are giving it to them on a silver pladder. Any good person should be able to defeat him but watch the Democrats send some miniority up there again'st him who will not stand a chance. Unforunately, minorities don't vote in large numbers but religious people sure do, hum, what does that say, which group should I going after if I want to win in Texas?
Duh........
