Rs in Congress Urge Women W/ Zika to Accept Microcephaly

[cattledogkisses]

Women just need to try harder to accept babies with microcephaly... and other severe birth defects, and fetuses with an incompatible with life diagnosis, and pregnancy complications that will kill them, and pregnancies resulting from rape, etc.

Women just need to learn to accept these things!



I'm sure these legislators would have no problem adopting a severely disabled child, right? It's easy; all you need is God!

[sushi]

Fuck! Rage! Fuck!

Satire, right?

[ttt]

[MrsAxilla]

OMG. That's unbelievable.

And how the fuck can he say these babies "go on to lead very normal lives". Aren't these babies still babies?!?!

[redheadbaker]

I really, really, really thought this was going to be satire.

It is, right? RIGHT?

[heyjude]

Wait? This is the same congress from the same country that is going to lead the Bernie socialist revolution? I don't get it.

[heyjude]

Further....WOMEN just need to accept this?!

Of course! Since this country is bursting at the seams with resources and support for families--especially families dealing with birth defects, illness, etc., there's no reason to make any other decision!

[heyjude]

THIS IS WHY WE NEED MORE WOMEN IN POWER!!!

[elleblue]

So...how are they planning on paying for medical costs for these children? Oh wait, they aren't.

[simpsongal]

Their simplistic, holier-than-thou opinions are dismissive and insulting of what is an extremely serious public health CRISIS. I am RAGING.

yep. That this is a female problem. That this is acceptable. All of it is awful

[cattledogkisses]

I am so tired of women being told that we just have to accept [insert entirely preventable thing here] because of someone's religious beliefs.

SO TIRED.

I want to say more but all I have is profanity right now.

[nursewife]

I'm seeing red. This is so, so wrong and completely unacceptable! Inserting anti abortion rhetoric into a public health emergency is absolutely wrong.

[penguingrrl]

Fuck them! And Chris Smith is my fucking representative. I've started volunteering on a campiagn for a woman looking to unseat him and now I'm going to find the time, money and energy to do even more.

[heyjude]

Maybe men should just accept errectile disfunction?

[sangria]

DAFUQ?

[ijack]

And who is going to pay for the medical costs associated with caring for a child with microcephaly?

I liked it better with the autocorrect. I feel like erectile distinction aptly describes how some men view their penis.

God's plan is no sex for you.

[aurora]

So in our next budget these same Congressmen are proposing very significant increases in our foreign aid packages to Zika-impacted countries to help these families women take care of their babies, right?

LOLOLOL

Oh, wait, they see it as their mission, not a joke.

Fuck

[One Girl In All The World]

These people can all go fuck themselves. That's really all I have.

[jillboston]

Do you think it is at all possible for these FUCKING MEN to shut the fuck up?

[autumnfire]

So they'll be adopting the children once their born, right? I mean it's "not all that bad" so they should by their own logic adopt and raise at least one or two children that are impacted by the zika virus.

Oh wait.. No, no they won't. But hey nice try dickheads.

[pixy0stix]

I'm just here to add to the rage.

Not just medical costs - LIFE costs. We were just talking in another thread about women not having a choice but to work and the related daycare costs. What's the plan for extended care for these children (and their parents) when the moms have to go back to work and they are beyond the realm of care for most daycares? In home nursing care for medically fragile children is several hundred dollars per day if not more and there's not a lot of insurance or public funding for it.

Ugh.
