let me fly with you

“[In England] The party that lost is working with the party that won. They’re not accusing them of being bolshevik zulus out to destroy Magna Carta. Because the English are grown-ups, including their conservatives, who enjoy a wonderful luxury conservatives on the side of the pond do not. They’re allowed to be sane. They don’t have to cater to creationists and anti-intellectuals. Only in this dumb country do liberals and conservatives argue over things like evolution and climate change and whether sick people should be left to die in the street.”

STFU, Tea baggers!: there is a special place in grammar hell for the following people: →

- people who say ‘are’ when they mean ‘our.’ example: english is are official language.
- people who confuse the word ‘of’ with the word ‘have.’ example: i should of paid more attention in my formative years.
- people who oppose amnesty but cannot spell it.
- people who do not know the difference…

If someone needs a liver transplant, or bone marrow, or a blood transfusion, do they have a right to just take it from your body?
Of course not. Donating a liver, bone marrow, or blood is a voluntary action. Refusing isn’t a crime, and it won’t land you in jail.
What if the person will die if not allowed to use your body? Still no.
Yet when it comes to pregnancy, anti-choicers believe that this is different. In this case, a woman’s body is not her own. Even if we accept the premise that life does begin at conception (which I don’t), legislation banning abortion doesn’t fly. A fetus has no more a right to a woman’s womb than a person already born has to her organs or blood.
One of the best things I read about this was something along the lines of, “if someone entered your property and you didn’t want them there, you’d have every right to make them leave. Apparently not the case if that property is your uterus.”
I may be a girly blonde who likes manicures and old fashioned men, but god damnit downloading Pokemon Crystal version is the best decision I’ve made all week.
