STILL TOTALLY NOT RACIST BRO
Just to remind folks that Ron Paul is one of the worst things ever.
I’m hella done.

To everyone who thinks Ron Paul is a viable option.
Unlike the other candidates, Ron Paul is consistent. Consistently idiotic.
Dear Ron Paul,
Free market bullshit, etc etc

Hi…
Despite papers, exams, and work, in the past 10 days I’ve managed to race through reading almost two books for personal pleasure only (I’m 60 pages from being done the second atm). Granted, they’re not literary masterpieces or anything. They’re entirely guilty pleasure books. But god. I’ve missed…
I usually get lots of good pleasure reading done during finals.
I’m pro-choice because the personhood of a embryo/fetus is irrelevant: no person has the right to impose themselves on another’s body.
I’m pro-choice because without the right and ability to say no, we lack the ability to say yes.
I’m pro-choice because every child should have the right to be a chosen child, whether or not their conception was intended.
I’m pro-choice because parenthood is way too damned hard for anyone to be forced into it.
I’m pro-choice because people with uteruses are, y’know, people, and capable of making their own decisions.
I’m pro-choice because there’s no way to ban abortion without upping the death rate of women.
I’m pro-choice because intended or not (and I’d argue it mostly is), the outcomes of abortion bans are misogynist and reify patriarchy.
I’m pro-choice because I refuse to tell you what to do with your body, and I wish the same right extended to me.
I’m pro-choice because banning abortion doesn’t help recognize the personhood of children, it removes the personhood of people with uteruses.

I just love this post so much. I want to bear hug it.

FUUUUFDFSSDFCK It’s hard to research this stuff when you don’t know two cents about how the government works. (But ask me how the government in France worked from the middle 1700’s to 1794 and I can tell you ALL about it.)
But apparently this is good news and this Senator is my hero. Read, it’s short.
Woah, I never thought I’d be thankful for Rand Paul of all effing people. Broken clocks and all that, I guess.
What about the date of this article, though? It’s dated the first. Today is the ninth
