In Louisiana, the Cock wins. We lose.


I love New Orleans. It is a city very near and dear to my heart. But when a proposed ban on cockfighting in LA failed to pass a House committee YET LA's Gov Kathleen Blanco said that she'll sign a near-total ban on abortion -- without exceptions for rape or incest victims-- I am ready to say this: Fuck you Louisiana. You'll never catch me or my ovaries spending another damn dime in your state. Blanco said she believed an exception for rape and incest victims (a proposal rejected by both the LA House & Senate) would have "been reasonable" to merit getting an abortion, but that she wouldn't reject the bill for that reason b/c "the Legislature has spoken." Yes, Kathleen, and why don't you try being honest by warning all lil girls in your state how rape and incest will be doubly agonizing for them after the attack happens b/c now, in addition to being made to carry a forced pregnancy to term, they will also have to endure labor, raising the unwanted child (despite their financial situation and/or if the fetus has severe genetic abnormalities), and now on top of all that, they get to endure at least an 18 yr long relationship with their rapist as he gets to be a proud papa. Isn't it nice to see that yet again, the cock wins?
