Wishy washy pro-lifer, pro-abstinence education Tim Kaine has been appointed by the great protector of women to be chair of the Democratic National Committee. Like Obama, Kaine is oh so concerned about reducing the number of abortions because they're icky. I love it when men can come together on this issue and discuss abortions as if women are just inconvenient barriers to protecting Teh Babies. Surely we can all agree that women need to just stop having the sex lest we risk creating a few cells we'll decide we don't want. It's not like we'd have to give it up forever. We can have the sex once we're married, because married women never have unintended pregnancies or need an abortion.[1] And come to think of it, what if there was a way for a woman to not have to raise a baby she didn't want or couldn't take care of??? WHY DON'T THOSE SILLY WIMMINS THINK OF THAT?[2] I'm sure if they did, they would gladly go through pregnancy and not kill the poor innocent cells because, hey, pregnancy is just a temporary inconvenince.
Amy at The New Agenda explains how this is yet one more slap in the face to women and women's organizations who supported Obama.
And I'm reminded of all the people who carried on about how we needed to get behind Obama for the sake of the Democratic party because otherwise the Republicans could win and OMGROE.
But hey, don't get mad, Kaine and Obama are "unifiers"! (pay no attention to the similarity to the word "uniter." It is just a coincidence.)
1. "I have a faith-based opposition to abortion. As governor, I will work in good faith to reduce abortions by: Fighting teen pregnancy through abstinence-focused education;"
2. "Promoting adoption as an alternative for women facing unwanted pregnancies."
