Corporations are people my friend…and so are fetuses that are not viable outside of the womb.
But that is not where it stops…they go even further to declare that a fertilized egg is a HUMAN BEING. That is the most preposterous concept that any politician could come up with…not just because it is contrary to scientific evidence but because it is also an attack on women’s reproductive rights.
However, we should not make the mistake in assuming that abortion rights and gay rights are the most important issues in the upcoming 2012 elections because they are not. The Republicans are throwing these out there in the hopes that they will confuse and mislead Americans and distract them enough to take their minds away from the fact that we are fighting to get out of a recession that they got us into and also to the narrative that they have done nothing to help create jobs.
That coupled with the obstructionist tactics, their downright sabotage of anything that the President has tried to do to help the American people, translates into a blatant attack on the middle class and the poor. The Republicans may want to mask it and apply distraction but that is what it amounts to: the solidification of a plutocracy with the obligatory perks in the form of tax breaks and subsidies going to the very wealthy.
I am placing my hopes in the astuteness and intelligence of the American people who seem to see right through all this. There is hope for America.
