Stop comparing the Affordable Care Act to sexual assault.

Bill O’Reilly compared Obamacare to a vicious motorcycle gang coming after your daughter. The brothers Koch sponsored an anti-Obamacare ad that depicts an over-sized Uncle Sam with a speculum in hand, ready to do untold things to the college girl on the table. GOP governors are signing transvaginal ultrasound bills into law, because after all..freedom. They’re also trying to circumvent a woman’s constitutional right to have an abortion if she chooses.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????
As a survivor of sexual assault, I take issue with these derelicts who equate anything that isn’t sexual assault with anything that is. I’ll be 56 in a few days. I live with what my father did every day of my life. It has controlled everything about me. In many ways it ruined my chance of ever having a normal life. But then, I don’t know what normal looks like anyway. Now that he’s dead, you’d think I could move on. But it doesn’t work that way. These days, I take it a day at a time, sometimes a minute at a time. Because life goes on and you have to deal with all of it.
We need to be so careful when we compare one thing to another. Pennsylvania’s Governor just compared gay marriage to incest. Trust me when I say that it’s not. This idiot needs to be thrown out of office. Would he like me to explain the difference? Would he like details? Because if an incest survivor knows the difference between that and two gay people getting married and the Governor of Pennsylvania doesn’t, then he shouldn’t be allowed to govern anyone.
Go visit that Sandusky guy in jail. That’s what a predator looks like. It’s not the Affordable Care Act. The only predators there are the ones who are lying about it. You have to ask yourself, why? Why would anyone want people to suffer without health insurance? What’s in it for them? Is it money? Is it power and control? Honestly, I don’t care what it is. I just want it to stop. Life is tough enough. When lawmakers in Congress lie about our new health care law, all they do is hurt the very people who need it the most. This should be a criminal act. They should be arrested, prosecuted, and then thrown in prison. You don’t lie to the American people about anything, but certainly not about a law that can actually enhance and protect their lives.
And for the love of all that is holy, stop stressing out survivors with this crap. We have enough to deal with. And there’s a whole bunch of us out here. And guess what else.. We’re consumers and voters. We can stop buying all kinds of things, stop watching all kinds of channels, begin voting for better legislators.
Yes. We. Can.
