Roe V Wade and my Libido
This week marks the 41st anniversary of the landmark case Roe V Wade, which in laymen’s terms legalized abortion in the United States. This same week, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) spoke at the Republican National Committee winter meeting, calling into question government funded birth control and the inability of women to control their libidos.
Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war on them. It’s a war for them. And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it.

After Huckabee spouted his hate speech toward women, the Republican Chairman, Reince Priebus, spoke about the GOP changing their tone and words. Priebus pretty much said that there’s nothing wrong with their messaging and policies, just use code words when making speeches that the public won’t hear (unless they are being secretly taped).
Let’s not forget the use of the term “Uncle Sugar” by Mr. Huckabee which is often used as a derogatory term for Uncle Sam with racial tones. I guess Gov. Huckabee is educating us about women’s sex drives and using the infamous dog whistles of the GOP.

Dear Mr. Huckabee,
Keep your beliefs about my libido to yourself. Laugh about them with your cohorts and so-called Christian friends behind closed doors. Don’t think I will allow anyone to make policy based on your sexist beliefs. I will vote every year like I have always done. And I vote with my mind, not my lady parts. Mocking me and other women will push your party further away from voters who can make our own decicions and see through your rubbish.
I dispute your assumption that your party, “stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women…” I know that in reality you are trying to ignite your base with your rhetoric, while trying to undo the success of women’s rights little by little.
The Democratic Party has always been on the side of equal rights, unlike Republicans who continually divide the country into “us and them”. Remember the “47%”? I sure do. And I remember each and every time that your party talks about how people in poverty just need to work, or want handouts. I will never forget the lack of backlash over Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a slut. And Todd Akins’ legitimate rape remarks, or Foster Friess who said that women used to put an aspirin between their knees as birth control. And the idiocy of forgetting that men have sex with women, which can lead to pregnancy. Go talk about their libidos.
Let me give you some advice and you can pass it along to the rest of the Republican Party, stop blabbing about my sex organs. Take your oversexed and undereducated thoughts and whisper sweet nothings to your wife.
From,
A Libido Loving, Women’s Choice Believing Democrat
