''Dear Democrats''

"This is your chance. We know there was not a snowball's chance in hell that the Shrub was going to appoint anyone that wasn't thoroughly anti-choice and anti-enviroment and pretty much anti-everything that Americans cherish. Bush's complete and utter inability to compromise or take other people's opinions into consideration is his weakness--he's incredibly predictable. You should have your homework done.

We know that Justice Roberts will get voted in. But that in no way means that he should go without a fight. I'm an optimist. I say we have a basketful of lemons, let's make lemonade. This is leverage to expose the fact that the Republicans, including the President, are a bunch of far-right wingnuts who are beholden to Bible-thumpers who are single-handedly determined to ruin the lives of average Americans by taking away, first and foremost, the right to privacy that ensures that we can live as we choose.

Hammer at this guy, Democrats. Make sure that there's not an American alive before this is over that doesn't have the words Griswold v. Connecticut dripping off their lips. Make sure that every time they purchase a condom, pop a pill, go to the fucking doctor's office, they know that the Republicans are positioning themselves to take the right to do those things unimpeded away.
On the abortion issue, I want everyone to memorize these words--"criminalize ordinary women". Something like 1 in 3 women will have one in their lifetime. Abortion is exceedingly common. Selling out women who obtain them for political gain is not only wrong, but it is politically stupid. Anti-abortion laws turn every woman into a potential criminal. Rinse and repeat until people get how extreme that position is. For some stupid reason that I can't understand, people can get behind the jailing of teenage girls who have sex. But they won't feel that way when it's 40-year-old soccer moms.

Americans are pro-choice and especially they are pro-privacy. This is the opportunity to get it hammered into the brains that the Republicans want to turn your bedroom into a fishbowl. Look, quit trying to chip off a few voters from a tiny minority of Christians who hate women and look at the big picture--the vast majority of Americans use contraception and will be sorely pissed when they find out that right is in peril.

I would also like to remind everyone that Bush the First appointed a misogynistic wingnut named Clarence Thomas, helping drive female voters into the arms of one Bill Clinton. It's worked before. Let's work it, folks."-from the post on Pandagon by Amanda Marcotte.
