Today is the first day of the new school year here. I took pictures below but about and hour after the children left for school their was a knock at the door. 

Today I got a visit from a man who wanted to talk to me about god lol.

He started out with “I saw a bunch of children getting on buses this morning. Looks like you put one or two on the bus (he saw their scooters on the porch)”

I said “yes”

He said “well then you have nothing to do today”

That really pissed me off. I mean he assumed that I don’t work and also assumed that stay-at-home moms do nothing all day. (I take care of my grandmother)

Then he said he wanted to talk to me about god.

I said sorry not interested and shut the door. I think he was a Mormon

 

 

 

What is it with politicians and willful ignorance about sexual topics?

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) falsely claimed that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact. (Try telling that to the thousands of people in Africa who got HIV from hetero sex. )

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community,” he told Michelangelo Signorile, who hosts a radio program on SiriusXM OutQ. “It was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall.”

“My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex.”

A shining example of what the Republican party has to offer the people of the United States. Kiddies, is what happens when politics becomes faith-based.

The stupid, it hurts. Every day I just read more and more stories and go, “we don’t have a chance as a nation, do we?”

Pat Robertson believes that atheists should not be allowed freedom of speech. He believes rather than respect atheists right to different beliefs, people should “tell those atheists to take a hike” because “it’s a mistake to put that kind of garbage in public view”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The odds that a woman who is raped will get pregnant are “one in millions and millions and millions,” said state Rep. Stephen Freind, R-Delaware County, the Legislature’s leading abortion foe.

The reason, Freind said, is that the traumatic experience of rape causes a woman to “secrete a certain secretion” that tends to kill sperm.

Republicans have been getting in trouble for asserting this since at least 1988

At a news conference on sex education on the Capitol steps, he told a cheering crowd, “If you’re expecting me to back off, the answer is no.”

Freind said, “It is almost but not quite impossible to become pregnant on the basis of rape. The odds are one in millions and millions and millions. And there is a physical reason for that.

“Rape, obviously, is a traumatic experience. When that traumatic experience is undergone, a woman secretes a certain secretion, which has a tendency to kill sperm.”

Informed of Freind’s remarks, Dr. Luigi Mastroianni Jr., director of the division of human reproduction at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, said : “Boy, if I could find out what that (secretion) was, I’d use it as a contraceptive.”

Mastroianni, who is also a past president of the American Fertility Society, added, “There is no such secretion.”

He said Freind’s statements were “scientifically unfounded” and “reflect a lack of concern for women who have been victimized by rape” by dismissing the act as not having consequence.

Dr. Richard Depp, chairman of the department of obstetrics and Gynecology at Thomas Jefferson University, said, “The only reality is that women get pregnant when they are ovulating.”

He said of Freind’s claim, “There’s no basis for that. That’s nonsense.”

Both Mastroianni and Depp said women who are raped can and do become pregnant.

Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, told a local Missouri station in an interview that “legitimate rape” does not lead to pregnancy.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin said in an interview with KTVI-TV

“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin’s comments came during a discussion of his hardline stand against permitting legal abortions for rape victims. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child,” he said.

McCaskill quickly rebuked him — “As a woman & former prosecutor who handled 100s of rape cases, I’m stunned by Rep. Akin’s comments about victims this AM,” she tweeted

In 1995, 71-year-old North Carolina state Rep. Henry Aldridge gained national notoriety after telling the N.C. House Appropriations Committee, “The facts show that people who are raped — who are truly raped — the juices don’t flow, the body functions don’t work and they don’t get pregnant. “

In 1980, attorney James Leon Holmes wrote, in a letter arguing for a constitutional ban on abortion, “Concern for rape victims is a red herring because conceptions from rape occur with approximately the same frequency as snowfall in Miami.”

Sponsored by New Jersey Republican Chris Smith, H.R. 3, the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” would have rewritten the rape exception in federal abortion-funding bans from the language in the Hyde Amendment. Henceforth, according to the bill, there would be exemptions only for something called “forcible rape.” (Presumably, this is the same thing Willke called “assault rape” and Akin called “legitimate rape,” as opposed to what Willke called “consensual” “statutory” rape.) After a public outcry, Smith retreated from his first draft of the bill and reinstituted the Hyde language, though an additional provision was added later to clarify that the bill will “not allow the Federal Government to subsidize abortions in cases of statutory rape.” Akin and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan were co-sponsors of the bill, along with 225 others. The bill passed the House with all Republicans and 16 Democrats voting for it, but then died in the Democrat-controlled Senate. President Obama had pledged to veto the bill.

According to a 1996 article in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, “among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year.”
