What's good for the goose
I hope everyone saw the articles about attempts to screw the poor. One senator introduced a bill to make it mandatory for those applying for federal assistance or unemployment benefits to take drug tests. A Democratic senator attached a rider making it mandatory for all lawmakers to pass the same drug test. The senator who introduced the bill, a Republican of course, withdrew the bill. And in Virginia a Republican politician introduced a bill into the Virginia legislature making it mandatory for a woman wanting an abortion to have a sonogram and pay for it herself before she was allowed an abortion. A Democratic legislator added a rider making it mandatory for a man seeking treatment or erectile dysfunction to have a mandatory rectal exam and a stress test. The Republican withdrew the bill. This is an out and out attack on the poor of this country. I live in Texas and we do have the mandatory sonogram. Were I younger and pregnant, I would have the sonogram and have the bill sent to Rick Perry. I would like to see all pregnant women in Texas do this. Not sayin I would have the abortion, but would most certainly have the sonogram. If he refused to pay for the sonogram, I would name him the father and force him to pay for the DNA testing to prove otherwise.
