Pennsylvania Representative Asks if Female Co-Sponsors of State Ultrasound Bill are 'Men With Breasts'

Pennsylvania State Rep. Babette Josephs, D-Philadelphia, picked up the political hand grenade that is the state's ultrasound bill today when she wondered aloud at a Capitol rally if Republican women who had co-sponsored the bill are "men with breasts."

Josephs' remarks came at a political rally sponsored by the Lancaster County Democratic Committee, in which she accused Republicans in control of the state Senate and state House of turning Pennsylvania into a "laboratory for the right-wing. They're trying all these experiments on us."

Then, she took specific aim at women lawmakers who co-sponsored the ultrasound bill, asking rhetorically, "I do not understand how a woman in this Legislature can say to herself: 'I'm not capable of making my own health decisions... but I can get elected and make them for somebody else.'

Hey Babette. Isn't that what Obamacare is doing, making your health care decisions for you? Just another 2-faced Democrat woman who want's her name in the paper.

Hey 1:12, why don't you just "close your eyes" and relax if the government requires you to get your prostate examined? And it's "wants", not want's. I applaud her efforts, but agree that there is no need to call names. She should apologize to the men with breasts. You can think it; just not say it.

I will happily pay for the prevention of any more Sandra Flukes and Babette Josephs being born. Look at who is screaming for more birth control and abortions being paid for by the government--I will gladly support funding to prevent them from multiplying.
