From The Jihad Watch: Why We Can't Stop Until They Are Dead And Covered With Many Tons Of Dirt

A comment left on my earlier pep talk to those standing against the tide of Christian fascists raises the eternal point to be made about these people. Namely that they devote far more of their efforts to "protecting" egg and sperm than to protecting actual real babies who are vulnerable and dying of easily preventable causes every day. This seems a bit illogical until you realize their crusade is not about protecting cute little babies at all, it's about the eternal authoritarian quest for power and control.

Skeptical? Take a look at a story that ran in the Washington Post awhile back and you'll get a clue as to their real agenda. Under the headline "Forever Pregnant" we see that your tax dollars are financing a call to:

ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.

Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control.


Sooooooo.....we want to protect babies and we have a couple choices. We could do what we know works, address the situation of the 17 million women who have no health insurance so they could get proper prenatal care when they actually ARE pregnant, or we could issue a call that will open the door to government looking over the shoulder of every woman between 13 and 45 who's a few pounds overweight. If you're a power hungry Big Brother wannabe, which of those options do you choose? Ask yourself how long it might be until "asking" all women to treat themselves as pre-pregnant becomes "telling" them to.

"Put down that cheesecake woman. It's all about the children. This message brought to you from the department of Health and Human Services"

Interesting as well that there was no companion call for me to protect my swimmers from the rivers of scotch that are sometimes flowing through my bloodstream while they're being manufactured, especially since the scotch makes it more likely the swimmers will be put into action. Evidently sperm must be made of some sort of natural super Teflon. Either that or the "pre-pregnancy" thing is a ploy to control women. Tell me which one of those scenarios is more likely.

So my friend, the Christian fascists may have been weakened, but as you can see they are still very dangerous, just as the weakened Nazi's were still very dangerous on D-day. Don't let up on them until they're gone. In the name of cheesecake, don't let up.
