CPAC: Anti-Choice Speakers to Watch
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is back in town, and you know what that means - some of the most extreme anti-choice and anti-woman politicos in the country will be taking the stage.
In keeping with this year's theme, "America's Future: The Next Generation of Conservatives," CPAC will feature speakers that the organizers hope will resonate with Millennials. Here are just a few of some of the worst anti-choice speakers:
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) will take the stage as a keynote speaker this year. Sen. Rubio reintroduced the "Arrest Grandma Act" and just this week he called for a complete repeal of Obamacare, including the no-cost birth-control policy that guarantees affordable access to contraception to millions of American women.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is no stranger to anti-choice tactics. He even tried to sneak a "personhood" amendment that would ban abortion in almost all cases into a flood-insurance bill.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) voted to defund Planned Parenthood and to allow private employers to refuse to cover birth control or any service required under the health-reform law for virtually any reason.
Guess who else made the list of speakers Millennials should watch at CPAC...
None other than 2012's anti-choice vice-presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Rep. Ryan has been candid about his extreme anti-choice views.
Rep. Ryan wants to ban all abortion care, with no exception for rape or incest. He also cosponsored forced ultrasound legislation and the "Let Women Die" bill. And his latest budget plan would repeal Obamacare, which would have a huge negative impact on women and families.
In case CPAC organizers hadn't made their anti-choice agenda clear enough, they have also secured Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins to speak during the conference.
Clearly the folks running CPAC don't want to accept the facts. Sixty-one percent of Millennials are pro-choice and these anti-choice speakers do not speak for them.

Pro-choice is being attacked in in America by the plutocratic 1% who have had a strategy to gain political power to protect and grow their wealth with wars for national defense, supply-side economics with low taxes and austerity in government services, free market deregulation, privatization, and a free trade policy to support globalization that offshores jobs. The political strategy to win elections at the state and federal level has been to infiltrate white Protestant Christian churches with anti-intellectualism and fundamentalism to indoctrinate the faithful who don’t want to be left behind in the rapture with the belief that they must practice discrimination with racism, homophobia and misogyny (anti-abortion …) and must always vote Republican. The strategy has successfully influenced the voting patterns of white protestant Christians for more than a decade. In the 2012 Presidential election, 39% of the voters were white Protestant Christians who voted 69% for Romney and 30% for Obama. But similar overwhelming majorities from white Christians existed in earlier elections to create Republican victories such as the two term election of GW Bush. To get new deeper insight into the plutocratic 1%’s political strategy in Christian churches and to connect the dots between plutocratic capitalism, national defense, patriotism and fake Christianity that justifies discrimination, read the new novel “The Rapture, American Exceptionalism and Noe Haleakua”. It’s on Amazon as a Kindle e-book.

A tooth (plural teeth) is a undersized, calcified, whitish form found in the jaws (or mouths) of various vertebrates and worn to break down food. Some animals, explicitly carnivores, also take teeth in behalf of hunting or for defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered sooner than gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but degree of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.
The community systematize of teeth is alike resemble across the vertebrates, although there is respectable variation in their shape and position. The teeth of mammals have profound roots, and this figure is also initiate in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, however, the teeth are fastened to the outer rise of the bone, while in lizards they are fixed devoted to to the inner surface of the jaw by way of a man side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are attached by means of cold ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that type the jaw.
