IT’S TIME TO “ABORT” THE GOP

Wendy Davis Filibustering the Anti-Abortion Bill In Texas Senate
.
The last few weeks in this country have been absolute crazyville as demonstrated by the GOP’s relentless efforts in various states to impose draconian abortion restrictions.
.
In Texas, a single state senator, Wendy Davis, managed to filibuster the Texas State Senate from passing a restrictive abortion measure outlawing abortions after 20-weeks.
.
In Ohio the governor (John Kasich-R) signed an abortion measure that makes an ultrasound mandatory on every abortion performed in Ohio.  This measure was embedded into the overall Ohio general budget bill which Kasich signed last Sunday and then leaving the State House by the back door.
.
In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker (R) signed an abortion measure that makes an ultrasound mandatory and bars doctors without admitting privileges at local hospitals from performing abortions.
.
Mississippi and several other states have passed similar legislation that would in effect shut down virtually all abortion clinics within the state while imposing the ultrasound mandate.
.
 It’s apparent that the Republican Party (what’s left of it) has a death wish and is hell-bent on wreaking as much havoc as possible in the allotted time it has to work its evil on this nation.  Already on the ropes for being the willing accomplice of blocking passage of real immigration reform (and thus a virtual consignment to political minority status or permanent oblivion) the GOP is further trashing their brand by making abortion their newly wrought national rallying cry.
.
With ingredients at work such as these it’s all too obvious that the death spiral for the GOP is now in full-swing.  All that remains is to see which of the billionaire titans will “abort” their political campaign donation efforts.  The 2012 presidential campaign was not kind to these donors and with the current self-defeating efforts of the Republican Party to cater exclusively to their base and simultaneously alienate women, latino, asian and black voters – it’s time to administer the Last Rites.

A party that worries about the dangers of Sharia law has gone off the deep end and nothing can turn this ship around.
