GOP Obsessed With Women’s Uteri, Jobs- Not So Much

02/08/11-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire

This could go down as one of the more interesting segues in MSNBC history as Dr. Rachel Maddow turns things over to discussing the Republican Party’s obsession with women’s uteri by using the word ‘uterus’ to transition from the story to the discussion. The discussion, though, is a serious one. The GOP is planning on spending very little time actually doing any work, and they are more than willing to spend what time they are working simply trying to make it as impossible for a woman to have an abortion as possible. This includes a piece of legislation which is designed to make it possible for a hospital to allow a woman to die rather than having them perform an abortion that could save her life.

The GOP ran on jobs and job creation. They ran on overturning healthcare reform. What they have done since then is pretty much nothing but symbolic and now they are trying to throw a few bones to the Christian Conservatives because the odds of them getting anything through the Democratic majority in the Senate is pretty much nil when it comes to social issues like abortion and LGBT rights.

So much for less intrusion into people’s lives.
