10:00 am. I’m here at the hearings. It’s not really a hearing like you see on C-Span. There’s a video camera and a podium with a microphone for the speaker.
The audience is 99% White (that 1% is me) and 75% women; mainly older women.
There seems to be a theme with all the speakers: Pre Abortion – an unplanned pregnancy, not informing anyone until it was too late, afraid of their parents, bad abortion process by either the Midtown Clinic or Planned Parenthood. Post abortion – drugs, alcohol, unhealthy relationships, and finding Jesus.
For some reason these women all believed that an abortion would be a “quick fix to solve their problems”.
I’m not sure how long I can listen to these testimonies without calling “bullshit” out loud! I feel their pain, but I don’t agree with their sanctimonius right to save Georgia women.
10:15 am – ok this wasn’t the start of the hearings. I just sat through the Christian Coalition warmup – YIKES!!! The actual hearing starts at 11 am. Right now, the Christian Coalition is about to have a prayer vigil right here in this room. Anyone who knows me well, knows my strong belief in the separation of church and state.
10:30 am – Now they are singing.
10:54 am – they so know that I’m not “with” them. They just can’t figure out who I am “with”. It’s quite hysterical. I’m laughing my butt off on the inside and wearing this smirk on the outside.
11:02 am – ok they are now praying for State Rep. Bobby Franklin and pray that the rest of the legislators can all stand together. They are 2 Black men in attendance wearing we support “HB 1” stickers. One of the Black guys is actually crying during the prayer. Chile, don’t make me slap this fool with the crocodile tears.
11:06 am – oh the other Black guy is State Rep. Melvin Everson (Gwinnett). He’s sitting at the podium with Bobby Franklin. Now the crying Black guy is doing the opening prayer. He asked for everyone to stand – I’m not!! I believe in God but I don’t believe in opening these hearings with a prayer.
11:08 am – ok where the hell are our people? I don’t see any Choice or Planned Parenthood people.
11:09 am – Rep. Melvin Everson believes that “without a shadow of a doubt that this bill is the right thing to do for Georgia”. punkass.
11:11 am – now Bobby Franklin is saying that our rights come from God and not from government. And that is why the legislators are in session right now.
11:12 am – ok I see Rashard from Planned Parenthood. I feel safer. Got a little backup if any stuff goes down.
11:13 am – Bobby F. gets a round of applause when he says “I look forward to seeing when HB 1 becomes law in the State of Georgia”.
Side Comment – Shelby I moved up from a crackberry today. I’m using a laptop.
11:17 am – ok, ya’ll can find me at the Ponce de Leon Police Station cause I’m about to hurt Melvin. That fool just said “can you imagine if the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. was aborted? Where would be without civil rights. We need to right this wrong because too many lives have been lost.”
11:24 am – Alveda King, black woman, used to be a State Rep. in Georgia and says that her uncle was MLK, Jr. No shit. Now she is quoting his words. She said that Dr. King accepted an award from Planned Parenthood even though PP has always lied. She said that she has had 2 abortions. But since she has become “Born Again” now she can hear babies crying and screaming in her head. When she was about to have a 3rd abortion, MLK, Jr.’s dad, Big Daddy (her grandaddy), slammed his hand on the table and told her that she wasn’t going to kill her baby. *someone google this chick*. She claims that abortion can’t be stopped because in America there is a covenant with death. Apparently, this chick uses her relationship in the King Family as her calling card and why people listen to her. Well, she has all these white ladies just a bobbing their heads up and down in agreement with her testimony.
11:37 am – some chick from the Justice Foundation is rambling on about why these women are here today.
11:43 am – this chick claims that if abortion wasn’t made legal by our government then they wouldn’t have a chosen an abortion.
11:44 am – yeah Maggie Garrett is here and she’s sitting next to me.
11:45 am – uh oh Bobby F. just quoted the PP email and said “the abortion industry is saying that we are basing our opinion on junk sciences”.
11:46 am – Rep. Tom Knox is here. he supports the bill.
11:47 am – Sandra Kanu (sp?) the original Doe in Doe v. Bolton is now speaking. She claims that she only went to court to get a divorce and get her children out of foster care. Her attorney set up an abortion for her but she fled to Oklahoma. She resents her lawyer for making her name associated with the slaughter of 46 million children. She says that over the past 33 years that she has been a prisoner of that case. She is ANGRY! She said that she never wanted an abortion. That her lawyers lied and wants abortion stopped in her name because she was never crossed examined during the Supreme Court trial.
11:52 am – now we are about to watch a 6 minute video about the death industry. Bobby F. has now switched to calling Choice people, the “death industry”
11:54 am – ok this is soooo wrong. they are showing fetuses and blood and tissue and tiny fingers and tiny skeletons. this is so fucking warped. the audience is weeping and making weird moaning noises. check out this website www.abort73.com – they produced the video.
11:57 am – ok the lights came back on and Melvin and Bobby were crying. they have this “drama” thing working in their favor.
12:05 am – some lady is up giving her testimony. she’s very boring – not boring as in her story – boring as in she can’t tell an exciting story. end result: she found Jesus and realized that God must stop all the abortions now.
12:10 pm – ok some lady is up testifying and crying. She’s so happy that she adopted 2 children and saved them from an abortion death. She says that every time her children have a birthday, she goes through a “prayer season” when she prays for the women that chose adoption over abortion. Now she’s telling some story about how some woman who saw the ultrasound screen of her baby right before having an abortion had decided not to have an abortion. This is the same lady that she claims had already had 6 abortions. Oh you should have heard the audience when she said “6 abortions”. The Gainesville Crisis Center, where she works, holds a religious retreat for men to help them pre- and post abortions. She says that men who pressure women to have abortions have given up their God given gift to protect women and they are also hurting.
12:18 pm – ok now the drama testifying is about to begin. The stories that are all the same: the blood, the vacuum sound, the pressure from the abortion clinic workers, and the magic of Jesus saving them, and that they will one day hold their babies that they aborted.
12:21 pm – ok I don’t mean to sound insenstive, but I’m about to bust a gut laughing. 1. because I saw the warm-up show and these women weren’t crying. this woman is now up flooding the microphone with all her tears and just lied by saying “oh I’m so sorry for falling apart but I have never shared these stories until now”. Bullshit! I heard her during the warmup show and she sure wasn’t crying or sobbing like a nutcase like she is now. Oh she is also now blaming having little teeth in her mouth because she just didn’t care about herself after she had an abortion. Mind you this lady looks like she is in her 60’s. Now she’s going into how she has a dysfunctional family and none of her kids speak to her — all because she had an abortion in her 20’s. Kids that were not alive when she had the abortion. Oh her husband left her too.
12:30 pm – ok these women actually don’t even make any sense. Now there is this young girl at the mike telling her story. She says that she is from Lawrenceville and her father is a doctor. She got knocked up at the age of 15, but waited to tell her parents, then she finally told her mom. Well, she and her mom waited forever for the boyfriend to cough up the money for the abortion. Boyfriend never coughed up the money so the mother finally took her to the Midtown Clinic and it was too late to have a cheap abortion. The Midtown Clinic had 150 women there on the day she had an abortion. She became suicidal after the abortion. She says that her boyfriend was traumatized and came back after 4 months and raped her because she shouldn’t have aborted the first baby. Well, this time she went to PP in Roswell and they treated her great (yeah she sounded bubbly). Then after high school, she became suicidal and promiscious. You know now she’s hanging with the bad kids. But she found the Lord through some youth missions. Now she’s telling us the names of the children she aborted. oh the ladies are just a weeping now. Mind you, old girl, didn’t have 1 tear in her eyes nor did she mention any baby names during the warmup show. Yeah right. Now she is on a mission to awaken her generation about the lies of an abortion. She is slent no more.
12:44 pm – woohoo the lying is just unbelievable. a new chick is up and says at the age of 17 she had an abortion and right after she had the abortion surgery she walked down the street and back into her high school and went to classes. BULLSHIT!! She is now a Disciple of Christ and is grateful that she can now preach the word of the Lord. She says that her “child was a child and not a choice”. Oh the wisdoms she has now – even so much that she is a crisis counselor. first of all this chick said that it has been 7 years since her abortion but then just said “oh my baby would have been 3 years old”. eh? now she is quoting King “justice delayed is justice denied”. FREAK!
12:53 pm – ok I’m out of here. I’m hungry. Plus, it’s the same chicks from the warmup show.
2:00 pm – OK I’m back at office now. Safe from the Jesus freaks. SpaceyGracey, I thought you looked familiar 🙂 I knew I felt some good vibes when you were standing behind me. That other chick that kept standing behind me was sooo creeping me out. Must get a filter on the laptop so that those near me can’t see what I’m typing. John Suggs was there in the beginning. Cathy Woolard was also there at the beginning of the freak show.
You guys have no idea how hard hard it was not to shout out “oh bullshit”. Especially when the women were lying about not receiving any anesthetic during their abortions. Yeah right. None of the testifiers were 1 abortion women, oh no, these were multiple abortions women who found Jesus after their boozing and slutty days. And if it wasn’t for the almighty Jesus saving them then who knows where they would be at today. Puh- leaze!!!
You guys, and you know who I’m talking about, owe me big time!! I need several shots of Tequila to wash out the horrible sounds of women crying and lying.
The 1 thing that is stuck in my head is that chick who said her boyfriend came back after 4 months and raped her and then whispered in her ear “I hope you get pregnant again because this is what you deserve after aborting my first baby”. That shit doesn’t even make any rational sense. But boy did Bobby and Melvin soak that shit up.
One of our “friends” videotaped the freak show.
When is it our turn to testify???
Shelby, the wifi is free.
In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. … – oh hell I’m not going to even go there since so many people wrongfully went there today.
UPDATE: My review of the hearings of HB 1 will remain about the hearings.
