Energy, Anger and Hope at Stupak Lobby DayI'm sitting in a room in D.C. after a 12-hour bus ride — juiced up on caffeine and raring to go! The grassroots lobbyists sitting beside me are filled with energy excitement, anger and hope. We are angry about the Stupak abortion coverage ban, but hopeful about what we can accomplish today to end the anti-women, anti-choice politics represented by the ban. We are high school students and elderly retirees, clergy and laypeople, women and men, parents and children — standing together to send a united message. We are telling our government that women's access to abortion can't be tossed aside as a bargaining tool or further stigmatized by separating it from the rest of women's health coverage. We will be heard!

You konw we REAL Americans are getting sick and tired of you radical left-wing feminist (and I use the word feminist lightly since there is nothing feminine about mean faced, clipped haired dykes) who constantly cry and bitch about men who are pro-life. You call them anti-women only because they believe that putting acid on a LIVING baby is murder or that sticking scissors in the skull of a baby and sucking out it's brains is murder like most PATRIOTIC Americans believe. You liberal pieces of scum are murderers and cowards and I thank God he made a real hell for low-life trash like you.

Reproductive rights has been used cynically as a wedge issue by the right for decades, and we who value rights have fallen into their trap. Abortion is the wrong issue to make into a litmus test! Stop playing the right wing division game. Stop giving them the power to set the debate. Health-care reform is huge, complex, and will impact everyone in the country. Lets keep our eye on the prize of ripping our health-care from the greedy fists of the conglomerates that have bought government complicity ... and apparently bought the right wing as well.
