Subject : GWB quote, "They hate our freedom" re-purposed

 

Hi Lisa,

Fantastic website! Thanks for devoting yourself to it.

As I gazed at the photo of all of those men fondly looking at King
George signing the so-called "partial birth" bill into law and leaving no
health exception for the life of the mother, I wondered:

"Why do they hate us (women)?"

And then it occurred to me that Bush's oft-repeated explanation for the
terrorist attacks on Americans is an apt response:

"They hate our freedom."

We'd better keep our eye on the women's right to vote.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for writing. Yeah, I wondered why GOP women, who voted for that bill, were absent from that bill-signing.  We can still vote, can't we?
