Fuck this dude and his pious attempt to take away the mandated rights of women in this country. I'll gladly fight for the right of any group to have their voices heard up until the point that they advocate infringing on the rights of others, purely because of their beliefs!!! These fuckers can't understand that abortion happens whether it's "legal" or not, Row v Wade was about ensuring safe abortions and the rights of women to have access to that procedure!! We aren't a theocracy so this type of pomp and circumstance from Pence is all about soothing the base and ensuring votes in the future. Try as his evangelical heart might, Row v Wade is still law and the vast majority of Americans will fight for it!
Secondly, fuck this dude for his "military display" of challenge coins and the folded flag on display on his office! Fuck him for trying to appear like he's a fucking veteran that earned those coins. Challenge coins are given as a symbol of respect and shared sacrifice...this dude has them as a highlight in his office to "show his dedication" to the armed services. No, not just no but fuck no....I have a similar flag in my office...that flag hung in the Afghanistan heat and bore witness to the struggles in our OR as we fought and sweated and cried over our patients, American or not. My challenge coins were given freely because of the respect that individuals had to give them to me, not because of my position.
So fuck you, Mike Pence! Fuck you for trying to appear as a friend to the military, despite the fact your son is serving, Fuck you for displaying a flag in that way, as if you've ever sacrificed anything, and FUCK FUCK you for trying to impose your backwards, ignorant religious beliefs on women across this country! Fuck you...and I hope to hell your "Santa claus"..I'm a good dude...ass gets brought down with the entire Trump cabal!!
