An Illinois House committee focused on farming, livestock, hunting and recreation just unanimously voted a bill out of its committee limiting a woman’s right to choose. On Tuesday, the House Agriculture and Conservation Committee unanimously approved a measure that would force clinics that provide abortions to meet tougher measures to continue providing services. The bill would require facilities that perform over 50 D&Cs a year to meet the same requirements as outpatient surgery centers.

Are women livestock? Why did IL House Agriculture Committee send a bill limiting a woman’s right to choose to the full House?

Well, now when one of these sexist Republicans calls a woman “stupid cow”, we know exactly what they mean.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
