Well, someone did their 9th grade reading (but made sure to cover their eyes and ears during all of sex ed). The Susan B. Anthony List, the self-declared “nerve center” of the pro-life movement, has decided that the Obama administration is attempting to rule our minds “1984″ steez, seeing as it wants contraception covered under the health care bill and for Planned Parenthood to have some money in the bank. The ladies at the Susan B. Anthony List have translated these decisions as meaning that Obama essentially wants to force all women to use contraception and to have an abortion if said contraception fails. And because of what some lady said about Mrs. Romney, Obama also is forcing all of female America to hire nannies or something? The SBAL ladies are calling these things “incredulous infringements on the consciences of pro-life Americans” for which Obama must be “exposed.” The Susan B. Anthony List website should also be exposed, for being very amusing.
Here’s the group’s latest video:
So … Obama wanting to give women the freedom to do something (OR NOT DO IT! UP TO THEM!) somehow constitutes their freedom being taken away? MMmmmkay.
Now, time for a heartwarming story from the “Susan B. Blog,” as it’s called, located on the Susan B. Anthony List website. It happens to be about freedom, about walking up to perfect strangers and trying to get them to believe in what you believe in for no reason, which is the dictionary definition of freedom. The post is called “Three Babies Saved!” Let’s find out how one of those babies was “saved”:
The second child was saved by the Vice President of the Providence SFL [Students for Life of America] club, Rebecca, outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. Rebecca talked with a woman contemplating abortion. After their conversation, the woman decided to go into the abortion facility. Although Rebecca felt defeated, she continued to pray for the mother. Much to Rebecca’s surprise, the mother called her that same day sharing the great news that she was keeping her baby! The change of heart occurred when Rebecca showed the woman a photo of what an aborted child looks like, the ugly truth of abortion.
Hahaha, that is lovely! Glad Rebecca’s “conversation” turned out to be effective.

Didn't we already live through 1984 in 1984?
Reagan's second term, yes.
This is going to be 1984er.
I think we lived through 1984 in 1984 and every year since.
No, that was January 20, 2001 – January 19, 2009.
Look at it this way – we all get to party like it's 1999 all over again.
why two kay?
"It's double-plus good in America …"
Nice!
Oh fuck off! If you don't want an abortion then don't have one!
Fuck off! Fucking and wine coolers have something to do with pregnancy don't they? (Jeebus excepted, unless the "virgin" Mary kinda sorta made up a few parts of her story.)
Anyway, have you noticed Italy (which is where the Pope wears his p-e-n-i-s hat) has legal abortion without insane people shooting doctors?
Oh, fuck, Barb, I just now broke down and actually watched the video. It was scary! Hold me, Barb!!!
OK, it was creepy, but not scary. But mebbe you can hold me anyway.
Come to Mommy, Sugar. Would you like some cookies or maybe I could make you some pancakes with little happy faces on them? How about a cold beer and you can watch the LA King hockey game with me.
*raises hand
I would like some cookies.
:::raising hand:::
I'll take a nipple, please.
Damn it! what if you want an abortion but can't have one (because you are a guy). Help, I am being oppressed!
You are very funny, Fairtackle. I like you!
Wooo wooo! Right back atcha!
It's ok. You can haz teh vasectomy. Sperm murderer!
Ha! I cause more murders before breakfast than Pol Pot.
Retro-active abortions for all teatards….
It's cool if we gather outside their churches and harass them for taking their kids inside to be brainwashed, right?
"Breed babies now, so we have more for war."
–Susan B. Blog
I'm only pro-life when it's a white baby.
But just think of how hot all those brown babies will be when they grow up!
Saw the Census stuff today. Them white mens are scared as hell.
It's time to demand a few things, y'all.
I think we all remember how the most fearsome thing in Orwell's 1984 was how the authoritarian state controlled people by letting them make their own decisions about their bodies and morals.
May such a terror never be realized in OUR world.
exactly, just like The Handmaids Tale…..
WIN. I mean, really, WIN.
Really. My version included them squawking in Winston's ear until he had to HIDE his true feelings and beliefs. Am I missing snark?
I don't think Obama wants you to hire a nanny. You're supposed to abandon your little rats to the streets when you go off to your second or third job. The Chicago thug gangs are huge campaign donors, ya' know, and need new recruits.
The New New Black Panthers!
Yes. Yes, you are.
And that little boy, saved from limbo, was named Richard Nixon and grew up to be president of the United States.
Are you sure he didn't become the worst quarterback in the NFL at any point?
As in 1984, words have different meanings. "Freedom" is oppression, and "work" is welfare.
You mean like "right to work" "death tax" or "youthful indescretion"
"Safety net" is actually a sidewalk.
all Americans taking part in the health care exchanges will now be forced to pay a $1 “abortion surcharge.”
Does anyone know a good stockbroker? I am SO buying stock in the Abortionplex!
That's fine and all, but can I prepay for my abortions to get a discount?
Maybe Costco will open up a bulk clinic to compete with the Abortionplex.
i didn't know Oliver Stone was a stay-at-home Mom
The Baltimore subway system found a useful way to employ those silly Susan B. Anthony dollars by using them as subway tokens. Now if we can only find a useful way to employ/fire these Susan B. Anthony listers who want to build a subway connecting us to the 1800's.
"Freedom of choice is what you've got. Freedom from choice is what you want."
–Devo
(golf clap)
Choice is Slavery.
These problems were all solved in "Ozzie and Harriett".
Ricky: "Pop? Can I have ten bucks for a guinea pig?"
Ozzie: "Here's a twenty, son. Go find a nice Swedish girl"
"Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night."
And I thought that Orly Taitz video had low production quality…
People! Stop laughing! Remember in 1984 the Party was trying to find a way to do away with the orgasm? O'Brien said their neurological researchers were working on it.
And what was Nancy French up to a couple of posts ago? Wake up Sheeple! It's happening!
That is why I am going to invent the orgasmatron and become a one percenter.
Not if my orgasminator gets to market first!—
"Freedom is slavery" is all these wingnuts absorbed from "1984". They literally cannot cope with people having choices because they do not trust themselves — that is what I have (OK, belatedly) realized. OMG, you cannot allow abortion or gay marriage, because everyone everywhere will do it all the time, and no more babies or opposite weddings evah!
I believe what someone told me Jesus/God said so everyone must do what Jesus/God said because that's what someone told me Jesus/God said.
When I was drinking, I used to hang out with a guy who kept telling me that everything the bible said was true. I would ask him how he knew that, and he would shout "IT'S IN THE BIBLE!"
So yeah, I sobered up shortly thereafter.
My epiphany came when my friend asked me, "What if the bible is wrong?" When I found out that the Bible couldn't possibly be accurate I figured we must be on our own to decide right from wrong. I've found the distinction fairly clear most of the time.
Jesus told slaves to obey their masters, and for master's to be kind to their slaves.
If we want this nation to be great and to stop living in sin, we need to reinstitute chattel slavery in America. 'Cause, you know, it's in the Bah-buhl and straight from The Jesus's mouth.
I do not understand why these women are so willing to enslave themselves and worse, to encourage others to do the same.
Let me see if I got this right — it's enforcing conformity to let everyone do what they want, and it's the essence of freedom to make all ladies do the same thing whether they like it or not. If George Orwell only knew what 1984 was going to be used for and by whom, he'd've just given up.
If George Orwell only knew what 1984 was going to be used for and by whom, he'd've just
giventhrown up.I think he'd have smitten them all upside the head with hardback copies of The Road to Wigan Pier.
And shoved Homage to Catalonia where the sun don't shine.
Hey, I want to be unique, just like everyone else.

The second child was saved by the Vice President of the Providence SFL [Students for Life of America] club. [...] Much to Rebecca’s surprise, the mother called her that same day sharing the great news that she was keeping her baby!
This is also known as a "post hoc ergo prayer hoc".
That's what kills me about fundies, and I say this as someone of faith:
The woman clearly says you scared the shit out of her. It wasn't your prayers, it was the terror. I really wish you'd stop portraying my Lord as a terrorist.
You may want to address that with the original Hebrew and (haha) Greek, chief. Sure is a lot o'smiting in that thar book.
Actor was talking about The Jesus, who was sent to moderate the Scary Father.
Exactly! Take credit after it.
You should have heard me praying to the FSM Saturday on behalf of Manchester City, boy did that pay off! http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/340438/20120513/m…
"1984" — yeah because the right-wingers never use Orwellian deceptive names for their treason or anything like that!
Fuckin' Totalitarians! Always letting people do shit you don't want 'em to do!
Win.
I so want that on a t-shirt…
Perfect.
For fuck's sake, in 1984 sex for pleasure was outlawed, it was only allowed within marriage for procreation, that's why Winston and Julia had to hide their relationship; that is exactly what these woman-haters want. For the modern Junior Anti-Sex League to try and compare freedom to 1984 is face-palmingly stupid.
In all honesty, I suspect these folks have spent precisely as much time reading "1984" as they've spent actually reading the BIble.
Shorter, and more usefully:
How nice of Ridley Scott to take time out from his busy schedule editing "Prometheus" to help out these ladies.
Rebecca also totally has a straight boyfriend who is willing to
do teh buttsexxx cuz it dunna countwait until marriage. You don't know him. He lives in Canada, but he's definitely real."His name is Toronto, he lives in Prince Edward… Shit! His name is Prince Edward…"
If Susan B. Anthony were alive, she would sue the Susan B. Anthony List into oblivion.
But if Susan B. Anthony were undead, she'd eat their brainz.
Oh, wait…
Tell President Obama: Respect a woman's choice to practice *her* beliefs, not *his*
So, tell him that I support his position, since it does respect a woman's choice. Done:

You know, these abortion foes have a point. I've given up shitting ever since I accidentally looked in the toilet before flushing.
Good point. How about C-sections? Ever see one of those? They are totally gross so we should stop having those and epidurals, too, cuz they stick a super-duper long needle right in your spine so no more of those. Really, any surgical procedure and organs/tumors that are removed look yucky and should be outlawed.
I tried that once. I gained a lot of weight.
…and thirty years later, the unaborted child Rebecca saved that day became a very famous abortion provider who pioneered a new technique that was used to kill eleventy-million innocent babies. The end.
P-E-N-I-S goes in , babby come out, only jesus can explain that.
Angels live in the womb.
Especially in those acute vaginas.
Although miscommunications are frequent.
FTW, Bill Reilly
Now that the lady in Providence is keeping her baby, it's a good thing that she got Rebecca's phone number. Maybe Rebecca will help out with the daycare and throw some change her way when the kid needs some medicine or formula.
Rebecca will care all she can about the little tyke, right up until it's born.
This whole story is bullshit. There is nobody in Providence named Rebecca.
Can someone go back in time and abort George Orwell? I am so tired of the whole 1984 meme. I mean, I enjoyed reading "Animal Farm" much more than "1984" because of … well … ANIMALS!
Btw, for the oldz, has anyone ever thought of writing "Freddy the Pig Does Animal Farm"?
The change of heart occurred when Rebecca showed the woman a photo of what an aborted child looks like, the ugly truth of abortion.
Funny, they don't ever show pictures of what a screaming infant looks like, the ugly truth of motherhood.
Hm. You know, waving a full diaper in front of a mom on the fence about abortion, especially if she's having morning heaves, ought to do the trick!
Women considering carrying a pregnancy to term should have to watch video of labor, from start to finish!
Well, she probably watched the conception video in the hotel room, so…
and the part after you deliver when the nurse says look, here is the placenta-your baby's home for the past 9 months- and then I threw up- True story.

Or better yet, pictures of them right after they're dropped outta teh chute, and their skull bones are all mushed up, they're covered with slimy goo, and if you're lucky, they're not yeller!
NOTE: That last comment was not a slam on my brothers and sisters of the East Asian persuasion.
Purple is also a disturbing color for them to be at that point.
yup, both of mine were yellow -it took some time for the older one to turn a sallow white
Little known fact, the black ones come out quite pale and whitish, makes for hilarious jokes the first couple weeks.
darn right, we almost aborted our five-year-old yesterday…
Maybe offer episitomies.
yeah, that was fun too.
And yet they're perfectly OK with the idea of certain other images becoming common again. It's not like the infamous photo of Gerri Santoro could possibly mean as much as those bloody photos the fetus fetishists wave. (Link is to Wikipedia; article includes a small copy of the photo; possible tri*ger warning for this image)
Or how about an episiotomy…with the father in the background saying, "hey doc, can you sew that up tighter?"
These pro-life grim reapers are resembling terrorists more and more every day. I actually have suspected their nebulous connections ever since that one outspoken leader got sacked while hiding in Aborta-borta-Bad.
Resembling? They are terrorists; just like at Scott Roeder and Eric Rudolph.
What did we used to say on the wonkett as a parting thought? "I'll just be over here…"
Not for under-stating the more sordid truth [that you just pointed out] do I stand in the corner waiting to be spanked. I had expected to catch flak for my awful pun — and it is god-awful! — but I can't watch teh youtubez link here, so I figured, "I'll try to lighten the mood a little"~
I'm thinking that the real Susie B would have just stomped these brain deads if they pulled that shit in front of her…
Much to Rebecca’s surprise, the mother called her that same day sharing the great news that she was keeping her baby!
Can I get Rebecca's phone number, too? She seems swell.
Well, that should dehumanize the enemy enough so that the good folk won't feel any pangs of guilt about resorting to the 2nd amendment methods, huh? After all, liberals are all treasonous traitor commies. Worse than hoodie-wearing thugs, even.
Thar trying to take our gunz! Everboedy panic!
FTW, Bill Reilly
I much prefer to hang out with credulous infringements too.
Here's a shitload of irony, with "Betty Bowers" interviewing "Ann Romney."
deit: may be slightly NSFW.
omg
Kind of distracted by how cute the actress portraying AR is.
Joke's on you, Rebecca — that baby is totes mulatto! See what you've done?
It never fails to piss me off that these creeps keep enlisting dead people who can clearly no longer speak for themselves like Frederick Douglass or Susan B Anthony into causes they would never have supported in their lifetime.
If I have my way, some day some zombie hero Americans are going to raise some hell.
Is this by the same guy that did the Apple/Hillary mash-up?
Since we're time-travelling, maybe this time we can get Bush to read the fucking memo.
I'm not convinced that all those 247 people are whole. I'm pretty sure most are missing at least half a brain, for example.
My cousin and her priest and nun kids cheer; Mrs. weejee and I weep.
"Three Babies Saved!”
Other ways to save the babies — born and unborn — without using grotesque photographs:
- fewer guns
- safe, inspected food
- prenatal care
- car seats/seatbelts
- affordable day care
-no war
-no death penalty
-climate change legislation
-clean water
Very noble…but you're assuming these people give a fuck about "babies" after they're born.
Decent education so they can end up able to support themselves? Anyone?
Priceless–
The catchphrase on the end of the ad reads:
Tell President Obama:
Respect a woman's choice to practice 'her' beliefs…not 'his.'
Don't they realize that Obama's "belief" is EXACTLY that women should make the choice for themselves, based on their beliefs, without interference from their pastor, congressman, pharmacist, employer, nosy neighbor, abortion clinic zombie, etc, etc?
Thy are double-plus clueless and have no sense of irony whatsoever. I wonder if they even fully comprehend the idea that words have actual meanings. They do seem to be well funded though.
I find this very difficult to snark to…
I have been saying for years that words have no meaning to Republicans, they view them solely as tools for winning elections.
Looking back 34 years…. yes I totally felt pregnancy was a punishment. Especially those last 2 weeks past my due date.
Kudos to these ladies for carrying on Susan B Anthony's legacy. Because if there's one thing she was known for, it's showing pictures of aborted fetuses.
I tried to explain the SBA List ad to one of Obama's infringements, but the infringement was incredulous, refusing to believe that people attempting to make a persuasive public argument did not bother to avail themselves of a dictionary.
Yeah, but those teabagger infringements are so credulous, they'll believe anything they're told. I'm guessing the ad will run on Faux, for added credulity.
Contraception is not the same as a Concentration Camp, its warped that these folks even think that way.
Does Contraception Camp have co-ed showers?
Of course. Big Contraception wants you to take even more birth control pills, so they need to make you have more sex. That's how birth control works, right, Rush?
This one time at Concentration camp…
Nancy French should get CBS NEWS 2 to walk through the Abortionplex and simply flip over all those pregnant ladies.
Is this a James O'Keefe video? I kept waiting for the pimps and ho's and the jump cuts.
It's at time like these when I wish Obama was even half the dictator he's been made out to be. Then these idiots would be silenced, bankers would be hung in cages off the rocky cliffs, and we might just get something good done for a change.
not to mention good trains
Yeah, and on hippie elitist organic alternative fuels, no doubt. I mean, Mussolini made the trains run on thyme!
One of the things not being given a lot of press is that the Obama administration has almost single-handedly initiated vast improvements to and modernizations of the three Amtrak services here in Michigan. It's been a thing of beauty, and it's been happening under the radar.
So we have abortions AND the Macintosh now! Sweet!!!
If there are no more abortions, what will liberals eat? We have to have our baby sacrifices, it's religious stuff. And that's in the Constitution.
We may have to settle for soy-based Boca Baby.
"The Party's neurologists are working to extinguish the orgasm" –O'Brien to Winston Smith. Have these ladies even read the goddamned book?
Who am I kidding…none of these fuckers has read the goddamned book.
ATTENTION WINGNUTS! GEORGE ORWELL DOES NOT AGREE WITH YOU!
Nor does Huxley, as it happens, agree with the party of insanity based politics. Odd.
Have these ladies even read the goddamned book?
I assume this is a rhetorical question, because it involves reading anything.
Why did Obama have to overturn the law against abortion that GWB passed when the GOP controlled the House and the Senate?
“incredulous infringements on the consciences of pro-life Americans” for which Obama must be “exposed.”
Obama can expose himself to me anytime.
I assume Rebecca handed out her home address so everyone knows where to find a free baby sitter.
The change of heart occurred when Rebecca showed the woman a photo of what an aborted child looks like, the ugly truth of abortion.
Now show her what giving birth looks like, especially the part where you sometimes poop on the delivery table. So beautiful!
Or maybe the part where your feet are cold and you borrow your husband's socks and bleed all over 'em, and he doesn't mind at all because even all these years after the divorce, he still thinks the kid, now nearly 15, is pretty swell, but god DAMN those bloody socks were vivid.
So now we're going to let women with British accents tell us to disrespect the president? In a time of WAR? Who are these fucking traitors?
The thing I've never understood is, if the crux of your whole anti-abortion argument is, "medical waste is icky", then why stop there? I mean, hepatic tumors aren't exactly pretty either. Why not just go whole hog and outlaw all surgery, on account of grossness?
Incredulous does not mean unbelievable. It means unbelieving, i.e., not credulous.
Me, I'm incredulous that anyone could be so fucking stupid.
Thank you. There should be a whole book that's comprised of these kinds of mistakes, some sort of penultimate guide to commonly confused words. It would be pluperfect for any occasion!
Yes, and would be light years ahead of its competition.
Susan B. Anthony had like a thousand abortions, didn't she???
Perhaps Wonkette should set up the Alexander Stephens Institute, to promote racial equality.
i'm attempting to listen to teri gross interview jeremy skahill on drone strikes in yemen while reading this and i am having serious cognitive dissidence.
This 1984 bullshit has been done. to. death. Stop it.
They do realize that they are trying to invigorate anti-abortion America (i.e. "Real (fake) America), right? They need to dumb down that vocabulary.
Since they're pretty thoroughly abusing the vocabulary, I surmise that the intent is to convey the concept "See, we smart too!", in which case the comprehension of individual words is of negligible importance.
aldous huxley libel
I guess I'd like to see where the forcing them to use contraceptives and have abortions is actually written into the health care law. These people are complete fucking morons, and I can only hope they get hit by a bus.
Even though I supported Obama, I find his forced abortions policy a little over the top.
Who is this black dictator!? What has happened to this nation's beloved white dictators?
*yawn* Another news cycle, another ripoff of the Apple ad. How'd that work out for Frothy Discharge the last time someone tried it?
I saw a turd once in 1954….Haven't taken a dump since.
