Colorado Tea Party Determined To Make Abortion, Birth Control Illegal | Does Palin Agree?

What is nauseating about the Tea Party quoting Thomas Jefferson in support of the Pro Life movement, is that abortion was legal and openly advertised when America was founded.

Facts, truth and rational thinking about the founding of America means absolutely nothing to these people Tea Party people.

Thomas Jefferson actually referenced abortion in his Notes on the State of Virginia:

They [Native Americans] raise fewer children than we do. The causes of this are to be found, not in a difference of nature, but of circumstance. The women very frequently attending the men in their parties of war and of hunting, child-bearing becomes extremely inconvenient to them. It is said, therefore, that they have learnt the practice of procuring abortion by the use of some vegetable; and that it even extends to prevent conception for a considerable time after.

I was stalked by a religious zealot man long ago, under police protection for over a year, because he was determined to kill me over my views on women’s rights.

He hunted me almost every day, sending me dead, bloody animals, a knife dripping with blood, one that he would use to kill me.  He sent me the box of rope he would use to hang me, leaving little signs all over my life that he was always watching me.

The night he finally sprawled across my windshied on a dark October night, scaring me half to death, he was wearing a mask. Like the Ku Klux Klan, he hid his identity … Mr. Big Talk couldn’t allow me to meet him face to face. Unlike me, he lacked the courage to face the public with his ideas.

Bill O’Reilly tells me to worry about Muslims. These Tea Party people are the Americans who terrify me. Bill O’Reilly’s promotion of them scares me as much as any Muslim terrorist.

I have many Conservative readers at Anne of Carversville. You like me because I am fair and reasonable in my thinking.

How in God’s name can you support this vision of America? Is this really what you want for the women of the United States? This is your desire for your daughters and granddaughters, to have stalkers at our heels?

No woman in America is compelled to get an abortion. But a woman’s right to an abortion is the law. And the Colorado law will outlaw birth control. Everyone agrees. The Tea Party wants to outlaw birth control with this law in Colorado. In Utah, men passed a law making miscarriage a crime.

The rights of American women have always been subordinated to men’s needs. You need babies. And this is the way the Tea Party proposes to insure the supply to do God’s work. Absolutely terrifying.  Anne
