Birth control – The Burning Platform

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

Over the weekend, I was where I needed to pass some time and thought an early afternoon matinee would do the trick. Although I was not overly enthused to see any of the films currently showing, I chose to see “Unplanned“. Mainly because the title seemed apropos just then and the movie’s starting time fit my schedule. Moreover, it looked to be a political film about the controversial subject of abortion and was, in fact, based on a true story.

The tale told of the life and times of Abby Johnson, a headstrong young lady from Texas who became one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the United States. She resigned in 2009 after seeing a fetus at 13 weeks gestation recoil in pain during an ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration abortion.

The film portrayed the abortion industry, as exactly that, an industry whereby Planned Parenthood profited most from procedures terminating pregnancies; even to the point of demanding quotas from its clinics. Furthermore, distinct and contrasting parallels were drawn between those who believed they were advocating on behalf of women’s rights with those who believed life began at conception.

This may (or may not be) the last Muck’s minute here on TBP. Admin has made some money generating changes that irritate me to the point of just giving up on TBP. Primarily the random links stuck in the texts that cause pop-up ads that you have to stop and close. Very distracting. The one that broke the camels back is the streaming audio every time you make a comment, forcing you to turn off your computer audio to make it go away.

Sorry – can’t cope with both. We’ll see how it goes.

At any rate, Old Muck is, tonight, totally in despair over the Supreme court of this United States taking up the case of whether Obummer should force insurance companies to cover contraceptive supplies to everyone (regards of moral issues — gag!).

What a total thick layer of shit.

We must, in the SHORT run, get both State and Federal Government out of our bedrooms, sleeping bag, blankets on the sofa or anywhere else two people want to have sex.. Period. The State (at any level) has absolutely no delegated powers to control personal behavior in private between consenting adults whether in the bedroom, backseat of a car or a blanket it the woods or the front porch (if suitable steps taken that no one is offended).

NONE! The Supreme Court should rule that any law (passed by anyone) that concerns non-aggressive, totally mutually agreeable actions between contenting adults as unconstitutional and wipe them off the books. Sex, drugs, booze, race or anything else that is P-R-I-V-A-T-E………… Period again.

Now as to contraceptives. Why shouldn’t Obastard Care provide contraceptive support to everyone?

First of all, If your religion, mental state, marriage arrangement or personnel desire leads you to believe you don’t want to use contraceptives, SIMPLY DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE COVERAGE and DON”T US CONTRACEPTIVES! Just let it lay there, unused and, in your opinion, unappreciated.

But why the Hell do YOUR opinions enable you to take it upon yourself to deny others the Obummer Care option of conception if those other than you want to do it?

What this boil down to is religious “holy’r than thou” horse shit that makes certain people and religions want to dictate to others what they must do or not do.

We are far beyond that concept in the Western World today (and will be hopefully farther beyond such “moral ” constraints as time progresses.

To repeat: The Supreme Court has no business making judgements of any kind about sex, lack thereof, prevention of conception or any other of Obumper’s damn stupid Health Care Act except to rule whether the whole law – WHOLE LAW – is constitutional or not.

I believe it is not. But Old Muck’s opinion matters little in this fight. I’m too old to father children (or raise them) anyhow!
