Take my rights...kiss my ass
Normally, my step mom is very conservative. She never discusses politics, and just lets me and my dad rant about whatever we need to, which we do often. One thing I will say about my dad, we have very different views. Very different ideas, but with some good hearty discussion, which by hearty means very heated, yelling shouting, jumping, and name calling, he usually sees the light and changes his mind. But you have to provide facts, you have to show him this is how it impacts you. Most of the time he comes around, there have only been a few times he has not. One is gay rights. However, I am still working on that. But I digress; this is not what I was wanting to blog about...
My step mom. Sue. Is the complete picture of what a grandma should look like. Gray hair, soft belly, soft skin, and an ever-present hug filled with smiles for all her grandbabies. (Syrenboy especially, since she told him he was her favorite.) Most of the time, when I go on a rant about our current admin, she just keeps quiet. Keeps her thoughts to herself, but sometimes, she surprises me. And I see that there is a fire in her, she just fights a different way than I do.
Yesterday, while getting ready for trick or treating, I was going off about Alito. Well Scalito. I was talking about the case with planned parenthood that he dissented on. The one where he felt that a woman should have to tell her husband if she is getting an abortion. She poked her head around the corner and asked me to come talk to her about that. She wanted to know a little more. So I went out and got my backpack, and brought in some info I got while I was at class, and sat down with her.
We talked for a while about that case, and the reasons of why a woman should have the right to tell or not. Honestly, if a marriage was what it should be, wouldn't the husband know? Most women who do not tell their husbands, is because they will get beat again, they will die, or they will get beaten and die. The husband may have raped them. Who knows.
Well, then it happened. The spark that sometimes shines thorough came out.
She said, well no one would think twice about saying that they had to ask their wives if they could get a vasectomy would they? She then went on to say that if a man wanted to get a vasectomy without telling their wife, it may be because they are having an affair, which we as women really should deal with anyway huh.
Then she told me to finish getting ready, and went to her room. I could hear her talking. I guess she went in there and began calling people. Who I have no idea. But all I could hear was have you read about this new guy? He is not for reproductive rights. He says I should tell my husband what I am doing.
On and on it went till we left. I have no idea how long she was on the phone or how many people she called. But when we went back after candy begging, she asked me to bring her more info. She was not done.
Wow. That is all I can say. Never before has she even mentioned that abortion was okay for some. NEVER. I always thought she was the other way.
I am so proud of her.
Scalito sucks. Women are property to him. Our rights do not mean shit. But honestly, should I have expected more from a president who feels that only the majority needs to be represented.
For all those out there at that other place who feel that only the majority needs adequate representation. I have stuck up for you. I have tried to see your point. I have read the info you provide. But this. Is too much. Your president sucks balls. The way the country is going, I will be lucky to have any rights as a bisexual woman come 2008. But that is okay huh, because I am not in the majority. Who cares if our country is not united and balanced, as long as you can shove your egotistical, sorry your poor, deal with it, no you cannot do what you want with your body bullshit down my throat.
Soo without further ado...
Kiss my ass. Eat a dick. Fuck yourself.
You know who you are.
