A Scary Day in MA.

Abby is in the corner, in her usual computer seat, glued to the screen. This election has us both freaked out. Is Massachusetts not one of the most liberal states in the country? Is it really possible for the state of Massachusetts to vote in a republican candidate, at such a crucial time?

Poor Ted Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave, from shame and embarrassment at what has happened to our beloved, progressive state. Our fellow MA citizens are ready to throw women's rights, equality, compassion and the fundamental rights our ancestors have fought for since the beginning, out the window in favor of gluttony, selfishness and guns! Weehoo! It makes me want to cry – or puke.

Did you know?
- That Scott Brown signed a bill stating that rape victims can be denied emergency contraceptives if it goes against the religious beliefs of the person on duty. (Honestly? Now religion dictates the emergency room?!)
- That Scott Brown co-sponsored (!!!) the “Women's Right to Know Act,” a bill that would force rape victims to view an ultrasound of the fetus, and wait 24 hours before they can receive an abortion. (Women's right to know? How insulting and presumptuous. Thank goodness this bill didn't pass – although they do have laws of this nature in other states.)
- That Scott Brown publicly stated that he did not think a lesbian couple should be able to adopt a child. His exact words: “That's just not normal.”

Is Massachusetts just anti-Obama right now? Is the healthcare bill the only thing that matters when there are so many other monumental issues at stake? So, why waste your vote on some anti-woman, anti-equality, pro-Wall Street gas-guzzling pick-up truck driver? If you want to be a Republican, please, move to New Hampshire.
