John McCain Does Not Believe In Women’s Quote Unquote Health

by Sara K. Smith  

Here was a goodie from last night: the part where Barack Obama tries to explain to all the morbid nuts in America who get into a froth over the thought of him dumpster-diving for tasty “failed abortions” that in fact no, he is no big fan of late-term abortion and would ban it if there were an exception for the health of the mother. And John McCain snorts, “Health, what is that malarkey, this ‘health of the mother’ is some crazy fiction dreamed up by liberals so that ladies can keep slutting around all the time.” [TPM]

you libtards, next thing you’ll be suggesting women have orgasms.

I’d like to perform a late-term abortion on John McCain’s mom…about 73 years late.

Walter Sobchak October 16, 2008 at 9:15 am

Not ladies, Sara. TROLLOPS.

Well, he didn’t say c*nts when talking about women, so there’s some progress for ya.

Sussemilch October 16, 2008 at 9:17 am

John is more concerned with the rights of the father in this situation. In a sense, you could say he represents the motherf*cker vote.

agitpropster October 16, 2008 at 9:18 am

“Even so, Wurzelbacher declined to say which candidate would get his vote on Nov. 4.

Probably because he’s not registered. D-oh!

Health, that could mean anything. Could mean preeclampsia, could just mean that she’s plastering the makeup on like a trollop.

TackyParker October 16, 2008 at 9:23 am

Only gold plated Cadillac health plans should care about women’s health issues like cosmetic surgery and liposuction.

What?

Serolf Divad October 16, 2008 at 9:24 am

Americans trust Republicans because they’ve always stood for two great American virtues: mom and apple pie.

ihasasad October 16, 2008 at 9:25 am

Was it just me… when McCain tried to go all soft and gooey about babies with special needs and Sarah Palin he actually went all doughy and sticky? Like he was going for a dove chocolate look but ended up looking like chunky greenish snot?

Well, if we “women” are allowed to make decisions based on “health” you never know what sort of slippery slope you’re going down – next we might want to “vote” or get “equal pay” or some such horror.

This woman is saying that Joe the Plumber’s business thingy doesn’t even exist, and that it was all a sham. She says she is a “journalist” or something.

Isn’t “health” the one exception Sarah “Let me give you some straight talk on forcing you to keep your child conceived by rape” Palin makes an exception for? Or is “threat to the mother’s life” not a health issue?

Mrs. K October 16, 2008 at 9:35 am

I vote for man pregnancies.

[re=136966]Mrs. K[/re]: Agreed! And Thank YOU Walnuts, for so eloquently expressing your utter disdain/disgust for people who find themselves with a less-than-healthy pregnancy. You’re an a$$. That is all.

CorkPopper October 16, 2008 at 9:40 am

Yeah, where do women and their doctors get off thinking they are competent to judge “threats” to their “health”? Only the government can accurately judge what “threat” to their “health” is severe enough to end their pregnancy. Because big government always makes the right decisions for Americans, right John? Right???

rubyji October 16, 2008 at 9:43 am

All that “partial birth” crap pissed me off just as much before I was pregnant, but now it _really_ scares my maternity pants off.

Canuckledragger October 16, 2008 at 9:43 am

John’s just old school is all, like other guys his age. Anything to do with a woman’s plumbing is something he doesn’t want to know about…eeeewwww! The vajayjay is just a squishy spot to stick his dick, in the dark with the lights out, and when’s he’s got his cookies, he toddles off to the shower.

If he ever saw a twat, up close and personal, the shock would kill him.

Quick, somebody show him a twat, up close and personal.

norbizness October 16, 2008 at 9:44 am

And what’s the deal with “civil rights,” “the abolition of slavery,” and “the scientific method”? Who cares, anyway… isn’t “Jesus” “returning” very soon?

CorkPopper October 16, 2008 at 9:46 am

And BTW, interesting historical tidbit…Barry Goldwater’s daughter had an abortion. In 1955, when it was super illegal. And Barry not only knew, but arranged it. Take that, Arizona conservative.

Big Ass Belle October 16, 2008 at 9:48 am

John McCain is a cunt and a trollop.

Meaux October 16, 2008 at 9:49 am

[re=136979]Canuckledragger[/re]: Canuckledragger, you really make me want to up and emigrate to your fair country. I like how you think. Also, I wish I believed in the existence of Hell, so I could tell McCain to go there.

AngryBlakGuy October 16, 2008 at 9:58 am

…considering that most “conservatives” are both pro-life and pro-capital punishment, maybe we should re-frame the this debate as “3rd Trimester Execution” or maybe “Prenatal Lethal Injection”?!

superfecta October 16, 2008 at 10:13 am

[re=136977]rubyji[/re]: Amen to that. The Republicants seem to think people have late-term abortions because they got bored or something, and not because something was very wrong. Or I suppose that should be “wrong” since obviously my little ladybrain doesn’t know how to make such tough decisions. But could I still have one, just for fun, on my gold-plated Cadillac insurance?

OhYeahAlright October 16, 2008 at 10:15 am

[re=136932]facehead[/re]: That’s not fair, no woman can orgasm when she’s fucking a republican so they couldn’t have any idea about such topics.

Women who experience health problems are obviously terrorists: http://tinyurl.com/4v4rlu

checkonechecktwo October 16, 2008 at 10:37 am

He didn’t put health in quotes because of the liberal’s robbery of the term to suit their baby-killing agenda.

He put health in quotes because by now, he doesn’t actually believe “health” exists at all, for anyone.

hockeymom October 16, 2008 at 10:54 am

Here’s something that was eye-opening on the abortion stuff. Whenever there was talk about restricting abortions on CNN, the line for the men went up and down for the women. When choice came up, the reverse was true.
It’s almost as if, women want the right to make the choice themselves.
Odd.

HomoPolitico October 16, 2008 at 11:20 am

Lets have a national referendum to settle the abortion debate once and for all in this country. With just one eensy teeny tiny caveat.

One dick. No Vote.

Cape Clod October 16, 2008 at 11:22 am

Women who are not ‘healthy’ enough to carry a pregnancy and find themself pregnant should just suck it up and bear the burden of their miserable little future orphan. In the future, we will need legions of little bastards to work in the Chinese uranium mines in order to pay off all the money we’ve borrowed from them. Why do unhealthy pregos hate America?

tinybubbles October 16, 2008 at 11:35 am

Guys, I nearly pulled the TV off the wall last night during this part. My sister had to have a D & E in her third trimester due to a sudden diagnosis of a very rare pregnancy related cancer called choriocarcinoma. It was rapidly spreading, she needed chemo, and she has other kids that needed their mommy. She did not hesitate to make that choice for the sake of her existing children. The baby had some deformities as well, probably due to the effects of the cancer on her placenta. Interestingly, if her health insurance hadn’t cheaped out on regular ultrasounds, paying for only one, it could have been diagnosed much much earlier.

I could have beaten the ever loving shit out of Walnuts with his cane when he said “health”. My sister survived and is doing well, and has NO REGRETS. I was so incensed by his callous, flippant assertion that I could barely sleep through the night. Just DISGUSTING!!!!

John McCain isn’t a doctor, isn’t a woman, and wouldn’t have the first clue what constitutes health in pregnancy. I wonder if he and Cindy would have adopted my sister’s kids if she had died after being forced to continue that pregnancy?

AnnieGetYourFun October 16, 2008 at 12:11 pm

[re=136973]CorkPopper[/re]: EXACTLY. Which is why we should have socialized medicine like all the Republicans have been pushing for.

To be fair to McCain, I used my health as an excuse to have more sex. “It’s good for my health!”. This is not technically untrue.

Use condoms, kids.

V572625694 October 16, 2008 at 12:16 pm

[re=137141]tinybubbles[/re]: Sorry, but your sister’s womb is stamped “Property of the United States Senate,” and she should’ve thought of that before getting pregnant. Why shouldn’t Old White Guys® decide this? They’ve always decided everything, and look how well it’s working out?

Snark aside: wow–wish she could tell her story to those whey-faced jerkwads parading around in front of Planned Parenthood. And WALNUTS!

[re=137013]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Good one

DemmeFatale October 16, 2008 at 12:38 pm

[re=137141]tinybubbles[/re]: Jeebus that made me all teary. And angry. Very angry. It’s just mind blowing and amazingly depressing how many Republicans want big government when it comes to women’s bodies.

yellowdogdem October 16, 2008 at 12:56 pm

[re=137141]tinybubbles[/re]: When McCain dismissed “the mother’s health,” I actually got pretty excited, ’cause I could hear undecided women voters out there screaming “What did he just say?” and deciding there and then to vote for Obama. And wouldn’t you know, a woman called in to an NPR post-debate show to say she had just decided to vote for Obama because she was so appalled at McCain’s remark. Keep ‘em coming, McNuttington!

I wish my sister was more open to talk about her experience with people. It is shocking to think another woman in her situation would not have the same options in a PerfectMcCainPalin world.
After I caught my breath, I realized it was the best thing he could have said to show his true colors.
I do know that a whole lot of women who don’t agree with abortion (FOR THEMSELVES) but know that an America that forces a 12 year old to birth her father’s baby OR an America that questions what kind of health issue is “bad” enough to warrant medical intervention is not an America they want to live in. John McCain just told women what he really thinks of them with his drivel. And for that, I thank him…thanks, jackbag!!!!

McCain never ceases to amaze me by upping the ante with his asshole comments. I would hate to be Cindy McCain after these 3 debates. He probably bitched her out for hours.

WALNUTS! learned everything he needed to know about wimmens from Judd Nelson (“Shut up, bitch! Go fix me a turkey pot pie!”) in The Breakfast Club.
