Forward into the Past

Well, now Mississippi, well-known bastion of thoughtful, insightful people is considering a ban on virtually all abortions. Like the recent bill in South Dakota, the Mississippi bill would allow abortions only to save the mother's life. Governor Haley "Bubba" Barbour said, "Why in hey-ell should I care 'bout them Nigras and demmy-crats? They ain't God-fearin', Christians like us, so Cheney 'em. An' hell, if wunna mah daughters gets knocked up, we'll just fly her butt upta Mass for a trip to th' clinic."

In other words, the mouth-breathin', Bible-thumpin', hooker-humpin', sister-marryin', rifle-rack-in-the-pickmup neocon wingnuts are doing their very best to drag the entire damn country back to the 9th century.

Bet NARAL and Planned Parenthood are real glad they supported Chaffee and Lieberman... both of whom voted to confirm Alito.
