HR3=H(ypocrisy) R(ages) Triple-fold

H3 is one of the most vicious attacks on women’s health and women’s rights in our lifetime. HR3 takes the Hyde (Jekyll & Hyde) Amendment and the Stupak compromise (the turncoat Republicrat who first attacked the right to abortion under the guise of “healthcare reform”) and brazenly ups the assault on women and freedom in this country.

This legislative assault was timed to match a scurrilous and fraudulent campaign to attack Planned Parenthood with a despicably misleading video that has been deceptively edited and then promoted in all the far right media. Google it, and the first ten pages or so are religious fundamentalist partisans; legitimate news sources do not turn up for pages.

The Greatest Threat to Democracy is Hypocrisy, and we have few more significant instances of hypocrisy in action than this anti-woman, anti-freedom, religious zealotry advocating the abrogation of the rights of women to health care, family planning and abortion services. This attack is being perpetrated by a grossly mislabeled “right to life” movement. Using the right’s own “Newspeak” principles, this new law should be the “right to kill women to gain political points” law.

It is a common refrain going back to the inquisition: “think what we think and do what we say, or DIE.” Sorry, ladies, no other choices are permitted. By the way, child and spousal abuse centers, childcare, healthcare, equal pay for equal work, protection from violence including violent, armed assault? Forget it. We protect fetuses; guns; capital punishment; corrupt politicians, and corrupt corporations, especially war profiteers—now that’s PRO-LIFE. You Betcha’!
