You remember Gov. Kathleen Blanco Of Louisiana, she of the "was I supposed to ask for help?" during Katrina. She who was worried more about what she was wearing then anything else during and after Katrina. She who the Left assiged zero blame for what happened in her State before, during, and after Katrina, regarding plans and responses. She was their darling. But, will they turn on her now?
Louisiana Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco signed into law a ban on most abortions, which would be triggered if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 ruling legalizing the procedure, a spokesman said on Saturday. The ban would apply to all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, except when the mother's life is threatened. It is similar to a South Dakota law that has become the latest focus of the abortion battle.
It doesn't matter that the Supreme Court will likely not turn over Roe v. Wade. The best that could be hoped for would be that they would say it is up to the States. But the Left is against any and all restrictions on abortion, even something simple, like banning late term abortions and allowing parental notification. They freaked out about the South Dakota law, signed by a Republican. Will they freak out and go after a Dem?
Ah, the Dummies finally got into the act:
- 1. I don't get this. I thought she was a democrat
- 29. let their wives, sisters and daughters be raped. and have the babies. sorry for the anger and crude language but i am just sick and tired of these assholes.
- 66. Why grease the wheels? Why in the hell would a Democrat, no matter where they are, fall in line with a GOP red-meat issue? And I could frankly care less that her veto would be overridden….she'd be on the record and on the right side of history.
- 79. Do you support "Democratic" candidates who sell out our values?
- 87. "Values" my ass! This is about RIGHTS! Blanco is signing away rights SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO SIGN AWAY.
- 40. What good is electing them if they are going to take your rights away? Why would I want an anti choice Dem elected? Are you serious? As a woman this is the line in the sand for me. Anti-choice no vote. My human rights are not negotiable. Period.
- 48. Apparently Blanco did what those who voted for her wanted. n/t
- 80. So did the Dixiecrats. n/t
- 44. The Raped And Sodomized Virgin Will Thank Her If I recall correctly, that would be the only type of girls protected under these phillistine laws that are being passed.
- 114. You know the right to keep and bear arms is a civil right, don't you? n/t
- 116. So is me calling the shots for my uterus.
- 24. Well, I read the article and these anti-abortion "Democrats" can just go f*ck (edited) themselves.
- 8. F*ck (edited) her. I hope she loses her next election to a real Democrat. These people make me sick. If they don't want abortion, fine, don't have one. Stop legislating what others can or can't do. Put your religion back in church where it belongs.
- 30. She's a traitor to all who value civil rights.
- 55. A woman's right to choose is NON-negotiable IMNSHO. Blanco should have taken a stand; especially considering the fact that she seems to be pro-choice. If her veto were overridden,so what? Another 'Dry-Powder' Democrat we don't need.
- 60. another faux democrat – may she acquire chronic vaginal itch (isn't that sweet?)
- 94. Nice work, Governor Coat Hanger.
- 135. F*cking Bitch!
- 58. She is a wimp and should be turned out of office ASAP nt
You can plainly see where the priorities of the Dems lie. Of course, they completely vindicated her for her actions, or lack thereof, regarding Hurricane Katrina.
Oh, and just to be clear, the legislature of Louisianna is majority Democratic.
Because rape is so clearly the cause of most abortions…
More trouble for the Dems. The ol’ circular firing squad….
Hard leftists are ticked off at Kathleen Blanco, and so is Ray Nagin, who just beat her good buddy Senator Landrieu’s brother, but only just. He supported Bobby Jindal last time around and is increasingly bitter towards the folks running his par…
