Feminist Sleeper Cell

While America obsesses about all things impeachment, the road to destroying access to abortion keeps getting paved with trashass Judges being given lifetime appointments on the reg. We do a deep dive into the background of one of them whose single focus is abortion, birth control and anything else related to YOUR body that’s none of HER buisness. Plus, a new wrinkle in the Louisiana case going before the Supreme Court that has us REALLY NERVOUS.

MEATY STORY 1. 

Fox controlling the abortion dialogue

https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/other-networks-are-letting-fox-news-poison-abortion-related-coverage-dangerous-lies

-Fox leads the conversation in the media. They talk about abortion significantly more and their perspectives and talking points inform talking points on other networks, even networks with a less biased perspective. Consequently, when other networks talk about abortion ther are often spreading the same kind of misinformation, or references to Fox-lead talking points. 

For example:

In discussions about abortion funding rules across the three networks [Fox News, MSNBC and CNN], 67% of statements were inaccurate. Once again, Fox News discussed the topic the most, with 124 statements -- 87 of which were inaccurate (70%). There were two total statements about abortion funding rules made on MSNBC, one of which was inaccurate (50%). CNN aired nine statements about abortion funding rules and seven were accurate (78% accurate, 22% inaccurate).

On their California clinic site their noted mission is: “Being led by God, we provide caring, high quality and comprehensive reproductive health services consistent with the inherent value of every person.” The board of directors (which boasts men and women) is decidedly male-dominated, and super Catholic (https://omcsocal.org/aboutus). They provide some facts on abortion procedures on their site, but their main draw is to get you to reverse your pill-based abortion! https://www.obria.org/services/abortion-pill-reversal/#toggle-id-19

Y’all we’ve been on the Iowa Rep. Steve King beat for a WHILE, that boy lovessss fetuses and HATES everyone else! And he’s in the news AGAIN this week talking about… how rape and incest like… are why we’re here today and look over here as he makes abortion rights DISAPPEAR! What he said was SO extreme that the extremists… woulda prob been fine with it if people hadn’t noticed and got mad. After King we talk about how people are STILL confusing Plan B and medication abortion and CVS’s very bureaucratic, but still crazy-shitty new birth control reimbursement policies!

In talking to the Westside Conservative Club (https://www.facebook.com/Westside-Conservative-Club-105288034391/ which is exactly what it sounds like) this Wednesday, King said: "What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?" he said at the event in Urbandale, Iowa. "Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages taken place and whatever happened to culture after society? I know I can't certify that I'm not a part of a product of that."

The city council is debating providing 57k (4% of the clinic’s budget), all bc of the inclusion of the morning-after pill provided to qualifying individuals. The over-the-counter medication is offered to survivors of sexual assault at The Turning Point rape crisis center in Plano within 72 hours of an assault and after a negative pregnancy test

"My conscience will not permit me to support giving funding to any organization that disseminates the Plan B pill, because in some circumstances the Plan B pill destroys a human life," Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Ricciardelli said at the meeting. He added he believed medication that prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg would kill an unborn child.

August 8, 2019 EP 44

Today we are focusing on Candice Keller. A republican serving as the state rep for the 53rd district of Ohio since late 2016, Keller decided to weigh in about the Dayton shooting this week. Which, if you paid attention to the news there  was a horrific massacre by a man in his mid 20s on August 4th. In addition to killing 9 people and injuring almost 30, while he was in high school the suspect had a hit list and a rape list of those he wanted to violate. We aren’t doctors, but this all definitely suggests some mental health issues, and perhaps the reasonable argument that he shouldn’t have had access to firearms.Keller, who also isn’t a doctor, had a few choice sentiments on the shooting:

Keller has also been the director of an anti abortion facility, Community Pregnancy Center, in Ohio since 2008. It’s got some great language on it’s site- “Share the gospel of Jesus Christ, uphold the sanctity of human life, promote sexual purity for all, and care for those hurt by abortion.” So right from the get-go you all should have an idea from the direction she’s coming from. The star of the horrible film “unplanned” is coming there for a fundraiser. They even have post-abortion services, which include helping with “post abortion stress syndrome.” SPOILER ALERT- ITS NOT REAL. Psychiatric and psychological organizations do NOT recognize this as thing, even though Keller and folks like her want it to be viewed on the level of PTSD. And to help with this supposed PTSD-type diagnosis? A 10 WEEK BIBLE STUDY. [Moji weighs in on PASS.]
