Jared Lee Loughner — 400 years of discrimination against blacks — and a woman's right to choose. Quick! What do they all have in common?
Well, according to our zany friends on the right, quite a bit.
An Arizona state senator has blamed Roe v. Wade for the Tucson shootings in which six people, including a nine-year-old girl, died — and 13 people, including a U.S. Congresswoman, were wounded. Soooooooo.... we cats just want to know where all the umbrage is. After all, conservatives and pundits went wild whenever anyone on our side of the political spectrum suggested that Loughner's act might have been encouraged by our toxic political discourse. (Think Sarah Palin.)
Failed former Senator Rick Santorum has suggested that if you're black, you can't support reproductive freedom. We cats are still trying to figure that one out. Particularly since as a privileged white man, Rick Santorum can't possibly understand, or speak for, the African-American community.
We cats are bored with all this abortion talk. First, we've been fixed, so we have to admit it doesn't affect us personally. But second, wake us when people with penises and R's after their names stop railing about it as if they know what being pregnant is like.
