Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R.TN) Is Pro-Life*. *Except When His Adultery Results In A Pregnancy...

Republican Congressman Scott DesJarlais (TN) has been and continues to declare himself utterly pro-life and a staunch opponent of abortion*.

*Except when the pregnant woman involved is a former patient of Dr. DesJarlais with whom he had an illicit, extramarital affair, which resulted in the woman becoming pregnant and when her making the choice to have the baby would threaten Congressman DesJarlais's marriage and endanger the likelihood of his being able to hold onto his Congressional seat.

Believe it or not, Congressman DesJarlais recorded a telephone conversation with the "other woman" in which he encouraged her to terminate the pregnancy.

*What's really surprising is that this Republican Congressman's illicit affair wasn't with another man...

Equal Protection Under The Law: If women are going to be subject to murder charges for choosing to have an abortion or for using birth control...

If  The U.S. Constitution Requires Equal Protection Under The Law...

And, if women are going to be subject to murder charges for choosing to have an abortion or for using birth control...

Then men who masturbate should be arrested for mass murder.

Period.

"Jobs? What Jobs?" GOP States Pushing Lady Parts Legislation. (Video From The Rachel Maddow Show)

 "First, they came for women's health-care in Texas.

But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Texas, therefore what they do in Texas doesn't affect me - not personally.

Then, they came for women's health care in Georgia.

But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Georgia and what they do in Georgia doesn't affect me.

Then, they came for women's health care in South Dakota... in Indiana... in New Jersey...

And again, I simply did nothing, because I don't live in those states and nothing they do in them affects me.

And then, they came for women's health-care in Pennsylvania - where the (male) Governor (R) told the women of that state to: "Just close your eyes".

Despite my overwhelming desire to give the Gov. a (steel-toed boot) kick to the groin... I did nothing.
 

Why should I? I don't live in Pennsylvania. What they do in Pennsylvania doesn't affect me.
 

Then, they came for women's health-care in Louisiana.

And again, I did nothing. I don't live in Louisiana. So, whatever they're doing in Louisiana doesn't affect me.

In each of these instances, I took no action.

Sure, I may have thought, "Wow! That really sucks for the women who live there.".

I definitely felt for them...

But, beyond that, I did nothing.

I kept telling myself that it simply wasn't my problem.

I told myself that (thankfully) I don't live in those states, so whatever back-a**wards things they were doing in them just didn't affect me - not personally.

Even now, their festering march continues...

Today... tomorrow... next week... next month...
 

They keep coming for women's health-care...

And now? I'm beginning to worry."
