Dispatches From The War On Women: What Does 'Pro-Life' Mean Anyways? Meet The Eligible Florida Voter Gov. Scott Just Purged From The Rolls. By Judd Legum on May 25, 2012 at 1:55 pm "Meet Maureen Russo: An Eligible Florida Voter Governor Rick Scott Just Purged From The Voting Rolls" Maureen Russo was born in Akron, Ohio. For the last 40 years she’s operated a dog boarding and grooming business — Bobbi’s World Kennels — with her husband in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Maureen is 60 years old and has been a registered voter in the state for the last four decades.
Two weeks ago she received a letter from the State of Florida informing her that they had received information that she was not born in this country and, therefore, was ineligible to vote. She was given an option to request “an administrative hearing to present evidence” disputing the determination of the State of Florida that she was ineligible to vote. She immediately sent off a registered letter to the State with a copy of her passport. It’s unclear precisely how Maureen was identified by the state as an ineligible voter.

The anti-choice movement would be nowhere without a heavy denial of reality based on the promotion of myths about sex, about birth control, about women’s bodies, but especially about abortion. While the majority of Americans are pro-choice, the constant drumbeat of stories makes the public wonder if there isn’t some truth to the stereotypes, causing even pro-choice people to support regulations such as waiting periods, parental notification laws, and ultrasound laws that only serve to make it harder for women in need to get abortions.
With that in mind, here’s ten realities pro-choicers should throw in the face of anti-abortion fanatics they have the misfortune to get into arguments with: 1) Most abortions take place early in pregnancy. 2) If not for anti-choicers, even more women would get abortions much earlier in their pregnancies. Gay Republicans Offended That Obama Supports Gay Marriage. Seriously. Allow me, if you will, to paint a picture of pure insanity. This picture will reveal the absolute hatred that Republicans have for Obama. The current wisdom is that if Obama saved a kitten from a burning house, Republicans would complain that he was stealing the job of a firefighter. The reality is not far removed: via the Log Cabin Republicans (the homosexual wing of the GOP. Yes, they’re real): Obama Announcement Is Cold Comfort to LGBT Americans(Washington, DC) – Log Cabin Republicans respond to President Barack Obama’s latest evolution on the freedom to marry.
First of all, to use Dick Cheney as the Republican model of supporting gay marriage is gut-bustingly funny. Second, this: “That the president has chosen today, when LGBT Americans are mourning the passage of Amendment One, to finally speak up for marriage equality is offensive and callous,” Does it seem like a word or two is missing from this sentence? Oh yeah, that’s more like it. Third, Obama’s manipulated LGBT families?
