  • Sandra Slut running for Henry Waxman's seat




    Women's rights activist Sandra Fluke appears to be moving forward with a run for Congress.

    Fluke has filed with the California state Democratic Party to seek its endorsement in the race for retiring Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-Calif.) seat, according to the state party Web site.

    A state party delegate confirmed to Post Politics that Fluke has filed and paid the fee to appear on the ballot this weekend.

    Fluke hasn't officially announced her campaign or filed with the Federal Election Commission, and she didn't immediately return a request for comment. But filing for the state party's endorsement means she's now officially part of the process.

    Update 9:41 a.m.: An adviser says Fluke had to file for the state party's endorsement because of a looming deadline and that she's keeping her options open. "It is not the same as her announcing her candidacy," the adviser said.
    Just what the country needs: a woman who could not manage to budget $9/month for her own birth control in graduate school in charge of the nation's purse strings.

    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

    I suggest all Republicans characterize women who use birth control as sluts. I think it's a winner!
    Colonel Vogel : What does the diary tell you that it doesn't tell us?

    Professor Henry Jones : It tells me, that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try *reading* books instead of *burning* them!

      Why? That's never been the case before.

      Women who insist that the rest of us pay for their recreational fucking? Different story.

          I think you'd be surprised at how successful a "buy your own damned birth control" campaign would be.

            What? No misogynistic rants about how women who have sex are sluts? Hell, they don't even have to have sex. If they are on birth control they are sluts.

              So she'll be working her way through college.
              May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
              Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
              And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
              may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

                It really is kind of unseemly.

                  You sure are winning against that strawman. Watch out for his left hook, though.

                    Obviously, the subject line is a typo. My mistake.

                      It really would be in the best interest of society for the majority of women to be on foolproof birth control.

                      Morning's at seven;
                      The hill-side's dew-pearled;
                      The lark's on the wing;
                      The snail's on the thorn:
                      God's in his heaven—
                      All's right with the world!

                            Why abortions are way down

                            ...

                            What's caused the fall in abortions? Some might be tempted to assume it's the various Republican-led state measures to restrict access to abortion; these include compelling abortion clinics to maintain the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers, which is for many clinics almost impossible to achieve. But most of those state efforts only started recently, so they can't explain a long-term trend against abortion since a peak of 29 terminations per 1,000 women in 1980.

                            According to researchers from the Guttmacher Institute, which released the new study, the latest decline is largely the result of improved birth control. In tough economic times, they argue, people tend to pay greater attention to contraception because they are more aware of the potential material costs of becoming pregnant. Also, the arrival of new kinds of contraceptives on the market, such as long-term intrauterine devices, means people aren't relying on pills and condoms that can fail.

                            ...


                            But hey, I'm a crazy Pro-Lifer so I think access to birth control is very, very important.

                              Name the person who is opposed to access to birth control.
