again

A bill being considered in the Tennessee State House of Representatives would require publishing names of doctors who perform abortions, and, critics say, potentially reveal individual women who have one.

The bill would require the state’s health department to list a report on every abortion, including identification of the physician, and the office, clinic or hospital where it was performed, as well as the woman’s county of residence, age, race, marital status, number of prior pregnancies, prior abortions, gestational age of fetus and her pre-existing medical conditions. (WSJ.com).


Yet one more group of Republican/Tea Party legislators has decided that they have the moral highroad, directive from a God they prefer to believe in (so you should also) and lack of concern for the Constitution of the United States. Never a war on women nor the rights they might have over their own bodies and decisions, no this is not about the women but about the government in a theocratic approach to become the decider. Government may be way too big to be responsible for social services, infrastructure, creating jobs and paying for those without jobs, but government is NEVER to big to be YOUR moral guide and value seeker.


We are told that freedom of religion is at stake in any objection to a women having the right to decide on her own biological condition, reproductive right, ability to decide about her sexuality. We are warned that it is God who is being denied his place in this country when at a whim some woman wants to be a “slut”, get raped, participate in making love. We are scolded that sometimes women are just too stupid to really understand God’s plan for them.


No this is not a war on women, this a war on God by women and the legislatures in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Tennessee to name a few are the soldiers of Christ saving Jesus from the selfish transgressions of American women.


This war against God is not just championed by women according to the Republican/Tea Party, it is enjoined by the Gays, the 99%, the Environmentalists, the Immigrants, Socialists, and anyone who remotely supports them. It is a war started when a suedo-Christian half white mainly black Kenyan somehow stole the election. It is a war filtered by the Progressives who hate America and since this is a country which states “In God We Trust”, must hate God. It is a war caused by those who think the Constitution states there is a divide of church and state; and in thinking such they must not be of a pure Evangelical Christian faith.


I watch and think, okay, this has to be the last straw. How much more abuse, bigotry, hate, loathing can be delivered by the Republican/Tea Party politicians? I am always sure the bag of bias, racism, religious hypocrisy must be empty and then like black magic one more Anti-American pomposity spews forth.


And then I turn to the news and watch as Sarah Palin is ready to run if the Republican/Tea Party primary becomes a brokered convention, Newt Gingrich is still running for President, Rick Santorum wins a primary, Mitt Romney lumbers forward. And then I realize there are a whole lot of my fellow Americans who must have little compassion for truth or justice to continue to support these people.


No war on women we are reminded a war on God. I agree, about a war on God but his advisories are not the women just those who use God as a scapegoat for their own human frailties and failures.
