Get your legislation off my womb, assholes.

Annette--get your guest room ready; I'm moving to Canada.

Our awesome president, who only holds office for a few more weeks, has done something truly awesome (note sarcasm) and fucked up the reproductive rights of the women of the US and there's nothing, save an act of Congress, can be done to stop it. Evidently, our awesome president, feels it's his god-given right to protect the babies--even babies who haven't been conceived yet--and has passed his Health Care Provider "Conscience" Law, which would allow any doctor or pharmacist, who was morally opposed to birth control, to refuse to prescribe or dispense it and they could not be prosecuted or fired for it. In essence, that mental giant in the White House has control of my uterus and I want it the fuck back. I don't understand why the Christian Conservative Right feel it's their job to dictate what I can and can't do with my body....MY body. It's already bad enough that there's no proper sex ed. in our schools and that they can teach Creationism in Science classes, but this is infuriating. Bush has successfully started a war he can't stop, sat back while the economy has become increasingly worse and has essentially tarnished what little reputation the US had for being a fair and articulate place, but what's REALLY important, is making sure women can't be in control of their bodies and their choices for their lives and the lives of their families. IF YOU CAN'T BE A DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST WHO SUPPORTS THEIR PATIENT'S RIGHTS TO BE IN CHARGE OF THEIR OWN BODIES THEN DON'T BE A DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST, it's as simple as that! Bah! It makes me want to barf and punch shit!

Gee are you Mac-ers persistent! Scott's been trying to talk me into getting a Mac since we first started dating...I told him I would only buy one if they sold Macs that were bright pink with sparkles and pictures of unicorns and rainbows. Now I'd settle for a computer that won't eat my important things.

It's snowing sideways here. I hate snow. Give me bitter freezing cold any day, but snow makes me want to cry in the women's toilet.

I've finished most of my Christmas shopping. Just have stockings to buy now--Mugs, magazines, pretty underpants and oranges equals Christmas at the Rockne's!

You know what's more immoral than birth control? People having babies they don't want, have no intention of caring for and will inevitably end up neglecting and/or giving up to social services!

BAH!

I would hope that the majority of people in medicine would be smart enough to recognize the importance or birth control and prescribe away.

Why is time and money being wasted on such ludicrous legislation?

Your room in Canada, home of gay marriage and birth control, is ready. Unfortunately, it's frackin' freezing here and I'm contemplating moving to Mexico.
