HE PUT IT IN WORDS

MARRY ME

Anybody have a screencap of the summation image they used? I rather liked the way, in one moment, it puts things in perspective. You can’t skim past it or stop reading at the second gif. It just is. I think it says something like “In Vitro - Never; Rape - Must”.

“No wonder they buried it on page 14 rather than splashing it across the cover.”

"If we start forcing women to have babies when they have been raped, it will cause such social chaos..."

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 05:36:54 -0500

“If we start forcing women to have babies when they have been raped, it will cause such social chaos - and these men who would seek to be in charge of our White House, our Supreme Court, and our United States Senate, are a danger to the health of women. Rape causes post traumatic stress disorder, suicide attempts, visceral reactions. I can tell you as a rape survivor, every time one of these buffoons opens their mouth, Chris, I really recoil, physically recoil, with how disgusting this is, and it brings up terrible memories.”

- U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore, on Hardball, discussing Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s statement that pregnancy from rape is “something God intended to happen.”

She was on fire today.

questionall:

Purposeful Omission: Fox News Channel Doesn’t Talk About Indiana GOP Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock’s Controversial Rape Comments [TW: Rape Culture, TW: Rape Apologism, TW: Victim Shaming]

thepoliticalfreakshow:

Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock ignited a media firestorm Wednesday after he called pregnancies that result from rape “a gift from God.” Mourdock stood by his comments during a press conference Wednesday morning. The outcry has elicited defenses from the Romney campaign and the Republican Senate Campaign Committee, while other Republicans including Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Indiana gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence distanced themselves from Mourdock. Yet, amidst the hubbub, Fox News has chosen to stay silent on the controversy.

As of 1:30 pm, Fox News had not mentioned Richard Mourdock or the word “rape” in connection to Mourdock even once. In comparison, other cable networks are covering Mourdock and the fallout from his comments exhaustively. MSNBC mentioned “rape” in 15 segments about Mourdock, while CNN mentioned it 22 times.

Silence seems to be Fox’s favored tactic for dealing with stories that may be unpalatable for conservatives. When Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) made his highly-covered blunder, claiming that women could not get pregnant from “legitimate rape,” Fox barely mentioned his name. Though Fox may continue to ignore these controversies, stories of Republican candidates’ extreme positions on abortion and contraception are becoming all too common in the news cycle.

“Except you can’t show a topless woman on TV - and you can’t defibrillate a woman in a bra. So victims of heart attacks on TV are *always* male. Did you know that a woman having a heart attack is more likely to have back or jaw pain than chest or left arm pain? I didn’t - because I’ve never seen a woman having a heart attack. I’ve been trained in CPR and Advanced First Aid by the Red Cross over 15 times in my life, the videos and booklets always have a guy and say the same thing about clutching his chest and/or bicep.

And people laugh when I tell them women are still invisible in this world.”
