It was 33 years ago today

No, Seargent Pepper did not teach the band to play.

33 years ago this very day, Roe vs Wade came to America.

Before roe vs wade, women who were in serious danger of losing their lives due to dangerous pregnancies died every day. No, wait, that’s bullshit. I have three family members who had life threatening pregnancies terminated in the 60’s, it happened all the time. No physician would allow a woman to die when terminating the pregnancy would save her life, it happened all the time. What then was the motivation for Roe vs wade? oh, it was all about convenience abortions, and never had anything to do with saving lives? Why didn’t we ever hear that? Oh, I see, it didn’t fit in with the agenda of the “pro choice” people? Oh, wait, you mean abortion was LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES in cases of danger to the mother, and in many states, it was already legal in cases of incest and rape? And legalization in those cases was on it’s way in all 50 states? Why is that never heard about?

Face it, folks. Abortion in America today is being used in MOST CASES as birth control for people who have irresponsible unprotected sex. Roe vs Wade was bad law, and will always BE bad law. It didn’t have any business ever making it to the supreme court, and without the backing of the Hugh Hefners of the world, would never have made it as far as it did.

I can understand an accident, I can understand people who make bad choices. But to use abortion as birth control simply because you’re too lazy to put on a rubber or have your partner do so, is just disrespectful of human life. Any of the arguments that get used otherwise are simply bullshit, and kool-ade. Don’t swallow it. Do the research yourself, learn for yourself, know the facts.

Here’s a good place to go to find information. Yes, it’s a catholic site. No, they aren’t going to be unbiased. Tough.

Ironic, isn’t it, that less than a week before the 33rd anniversary that it SCOTUS made assisted sucicide the norm, huh?

A little comparison for clarification

Just to clarify, I don’t have any trouble with amateurs using workmates. They have their place. Here’s a visual that should explain things better:

WM is to WB.jpg
A workmate is to a workbench

tvtray is to table.jpg

as a TV tray is to a dining table. If all you are doing is nuking Lean Cuisine and eating it in front of the TV set, a TV tray is all you ever need. For people who want to do serious eating, though, you need a real table. Nuff said?

Let’s not wait.

I’ve lamented the loss of Winchester, I’ve lamented the loss of Mr Reagan, I’ve posted my thoughts here about the passage of a lot of things, and people…

How about we don’t fucking wait?

How about every one of us, who knows of someone who is still around, someone who can still be contacted, a company still in business, point it out, once a week. Maybe give contact information if you can find it.
Sir Edmund Hillary is still alive. Anyone a fan? Track him down. Write him a note. Tell him how his adventures affected you. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Sir Arthur C Clarke is still alive. maureen O’Hara. Peter O’toole. Like them? Do something people don’t do- sit down and write them a letter. Put a stamp on it. Mail it. Dave Brubeck is still alive. DAVE BRUBECK. Wanna see him play? you still can.

How about we seize the fucking day and enjoy, appreciate, celebrate those among us. Don’t wait till it’t too late. That goes for your gradma, your uncle bill, your local gunsmith who is still in business despite WalMart, the local guy who works on your car in an actual gas/service station.

Life is “nasty, solitary, brutish and short,” according to hobbes. No, not the stuffed tiger.

Let’s get a handful of it before it passes us by.
