In last week’s GOP debate, Florida Senator and Presidential candidate Marco Rubio expressed his fervent belief that abortion should be outlawed in America with no exceptions, even in the case of rape or to save the life of the mother. Today, Rubio took it a step farther by introducing a bill in the U.S. Senate that would require in all cases, under penalty of law, that a mother would be required to “go to God” after giving birth to a baby.
Rubio’s claims that his “Saving Children Requires Every Woman Makes One Major Sacrifice” Act (or The “SCREWMOMS” Act) is the ultimate Pro-Life bill.
“I believe in the sanctity of life and in order to protect it, I think we need to be willing to require the deaths of anyone, especially women, who threaten it,” Rubio stated. “The lives of the unborn are precious and I will remain dedicated to protecting them up until that final moment when they’re born…and no longer require any concern.”
Rubio went on to explain that after giving birth, a woman has served her ultimate purpose anyway and afterwards, would remain a possible perpetrator of abortion in the future so it would be best, in the name of respecting life, to “send them to Heaven”.
“My candidacy is about representing the future of America. In a Rubio Presidency, through the use of forward-looking principles like women being treated as inferior to men, government laws forcing the deaths of women and men being in charge of making the laws and decisions that enforce all of this on women, we will take America into a new era…the 1950’s!” proclaimed Rubio.
I personally attempted to have a conversation with a very young blastocyst on this subject of ‘person-hood’ but the female carrier threatened to call the police! It was probably my head lamp helmet and speculum that weird-ed her out the most. The bus driver was kind of annoyed also too! They’ll be sorry when I get a job as a senior officer in the new Federal Homeland Sakuraty Department of Gina Police. I would be the first Gina General. It would require a department of at least 15,000 talabangical white male Gina Police to keep an eye on over 150,000,000 possible rogue gina’s spread across our great freedumb land of murikkka. With the help and cooperation of the NSA and 17 other intelligence spy agencies we would be able to look into anything that seemed even a little bit fishy! By preventing the termination of the births of literally millions of future personhoods we could then conscript them directly off of welfare and into the military at the age of 18 and never again have to pay foreign mercenaries to defend our freedumbs and rights here in murikkka or overseas! I have applied for the job of Gina General!
Very funny, Harleigh!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP began requiring that kind of “polling” of embryos, happily violating the privacy and rights of women in the process.
And they might try to register blastocysts to vote Republican in the process, insisting that their mothers’ right to choose represents an “existential threat to them”.
Well folks, I couldn’t say it any better than all of you did. The GOP candidates are fakes. They are not real Christians.
Nirek, still, you nailed it! Their hatreds and inhumanity towards existing people (as opposed to potential people) is wholly unChristian.
Hey Marco, in the world of nature the female praying mantis eats the male after copulation, now that is the real world, maybe you should subscribe to that too. Trying to even comprehend this man is impossible to a thinking individual. A young girl is raped by her brother, father, uncle whatever and this fool thinks she has to birth the result?? Boy howdy I sure wish he could be raped and knocked up, bet he would sing a whole new tune then.
GYP46, I agree with you. These idiots also want fetuses to be born , but they will not lift a finger to help kids after they are born, in fact they hope they grow up to go to war for their profit. I don’t trust them!
perfect example of the lack of caring by republicans for babies was Trumps reaction when a young mother asked for time to pump her breasts for her new born, he called her a ‘disgusting person’, even though it was his need to continue through a lunch break at a disposition. They, the pubbers, care nothing for human life unless their ‘handlers’ are profiting from them, dead or alive!!
OOPS, deposition, not disposition,!!
gyp46, yep, it is precisely because Rubio and all the men trying to criminalize abortion can’t be forced to become pregnant themselves that they feel free to demand that women be forced to go through a pregnancy.
The self-righteousness of the pro-lifers, while supporting the Death Penalty, is just plain absurd and hypocritical. They support so much death…including the death of the mother in childbirth, they should be sued for false advertising.
This genius has said it much better than I could.
KT, can you imagine the bits Carlin would have with Trump and the GOP becoming like him? Miss him with every new political abomination that happens.
Yeah, I surely miss Carlin’s amazingly accurate observations. Although he didn’t do topical comedy in his performances, he did have some very sharp, and accurate criticisms when not performing.
I wish we still had Hunter Thompson, as well. I’d love to read what Hunter would have to say about the GOP clown candidates.
Adlib, the Jon Stewart of PlanetPOV! If it weren’t so scarily close to what seems to be becoming reality, I’d believe it totally!
You seem to forget that the Gummint also has Death Panels to ensure that those who miraculously make it to senility will also be humanely dispatched to relieve the burden on Family and Government. Of course this is because those elderly have no brain function to ensure they can still work and pay taxes and all that. So they are useless…. Hang on a minute! Aren’t babies kinda useless at conception? They don’t have any brain function for quite a while, so perhaps Rubio has the wrong end of the stick. Clear the waste before the mother dies or, if it;s too late, ensure that any surviving kid gets no education so they can be living automatons for the MIC, or GOP Politicians!
Thanks so much, PPO!
I think we need a realistic definition of “Pro-Life”:
1. Supports life of unborn and says “Meh!” to the lives of the already born.
2. Supports the death of people due to war, lack of healthcare, gun violence, racism, childbirth and non-Christian religion and will even kill doctors who perform abortions in their quest to protect life.
3. Poor speller especially when crating protest signs.
Hey Rubio, you sad excuse for a Christian. Here is a message for you and all of the RW religious crazies from a real Christian.

Very scary, AdLib!
WOW! Just WOW, Kalima. Great post!
Hi ppo.
Posted this on MB two weeks ago on Thursday and thought it deserved to be posted again. These false Catholics make me heave. This wonderful nun could beat them with both hands tied behind her back.
If the repubs win the GE, this is exactly what America could expect. Can’t stop shuddering.
Wise words Kalima. These cretins are just pandering to their base, for the most part. I think maybe the only one in the whole lot who actually believes what he says is Rick Santorum. I’m not saying his views are right, only that he really believes what he espouses. Sad really.
Hi KT.
It’s people like Rubio and Ryan that give Catholics a bad name.
While the majority of us move forward, these dinosaurs are pushed into corners most of us have never stood in, lulled into thinking that this is what Jesus would want by diehard priests and bishops. To take our Church into the 21st century these people have to be replaced by those who will actually follow the leadership of Pope Francis because it is the right way and the only way.
I’m tired of religion in politics, it has no business there, and those who use it to instill fear, are the scum of the earth.
Santorum might well believe what he says but he is misguided and wrong.
As a Catholic, I and 10’s of millions just like me, say, “not in our name”. The majority of us don’t believe in what they believe in.
Sister Joan summed up the issue of these faux pro-lifers with very few words that have more meaning than any of the anti-abortion crowd could speak in a lifetime.
What these creeps want to do is a crime against humanity, and they can’t be allowed to win in 2016.
God doesn’t scare me and neither does the Church.
Kalima, that is what I call a total slap down! Love it!
