FORTY LIES IN 40 DAYS: #37 Buerkle Fights the Sex Trade

Maybe, but she will not protect the victims. She would require any woman or girl, pregnant from rape in the "sex trade", to complete the pregnancy. Compassion is not her strong suit.

Sex trade is slavery. Ann Marie Buerkle says that allowing abortion in this instance would create a "second victim". Her sick thinking disempowers, yet again, victims who are made pregnant in this sick business.

FORTY LIES IN 40 DAYS: #36 Buerkle Stands With Rape Victims

Ann Marie "fœtus in a jar**" Buerkle

Todd "legitimate rape" Akin

John "the rape thing" Koster

Richard "God intended it to happen" Mourdock

Rick "rape is a gift in a very broken way" Santorum

Chuck "double ultrasound" Winder

Paul "rape is a method of conception" Ryan

Roger "some girls, they rape so easy" Rivard

Rape Hall of Shame 

Buerkle stands with all these prominent men who pontificate about rape and abortion: no abortion in the case of rape.  (Hey guys, never mind that abortion is legal. Not your Constitution? That's unpatriotic!)

PS This list is not exhaustive, not even close.

**Blue Sky Girl is still puzzled about AMB's complete and utter lack of respect for that fœtus, aborted then stolen from a clinic in another state in 1989, transported across state lines, and brought to a protest at Planned Parenthood in Syracuse, and her lack of respect for the women entering that clinic. She is a loose cannon, unethical, and cruel.  Then again, if you have ever experienced her looking you in the eye with her cold blue eyes and telling you a lie without blinking, then you know that she is capable of knocking over anything that stands in her way. 

FORTY LIES IN 40 DAYS: # 12 "Rape is Rape"

 

Buerkle co-sponsored a bill with Todd Akin, R-Missouri, that included the exclusionary term "forcible rape." She has shared other, similar votes with Akin, the knucklehead who said that when a woman is raped her body naturally will not conceive. 

Ann Marie Buerkle: "Yes, Mr. Boehner, Sir; Thank you, Mr. Boehner, Sir"

Among the many signers of the recent House of Representatives bill, House Resolution 3, that, among other things, restricts abortions except in the case of "forcible rape," is 25th Congressional District Representative Ann Marie Buerkle.

How does AMB sleep at night?

Does she ever stop to wonder at the redundancy of "forcible rape"? Isn't "rape" clear language? Do some women, does Ann Marie Buerkle reason, agree to rape? Volunteer for rape? Invite rape?


From House Resolution 3:
"Prohibits the inclusion of abortion in any health care service furnished by a federal or District of Columbia health care facility or by any physician or other individual employed by the federal government or the District. Provides that such prohibitions shall not apply to an abortion if: (1) the pregnancy is the result of forcible rape or, if the pregnant woman is a minor, incest; or (2) the woman suffers from a physical disorder, injury, or illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would place her in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, as certified by a physician."


Ann Marie is a woman. She has daughters. She worked with women during her years of service to Right to Life and other anti-choice organizations. She volunteered to work with women in crisis at Vera House. 

Her sponsorship of H. Res. 3 can only be characterized as cynicism* in the extreme.                                             


So, and we feared this, and some of us knew it all too well: As Ann Marie Buerkle moves into her term in Congress she has left her conscience behind. She is now serving not her constituents but her bosses. 

*cynical: showing contempt for accepted standards of honesty or morality by one's actions, especially by actions that exploit the scruples of others.
