Some call it “caging.” Others label it “voter suppression.” The ACLU says 30 states since 2008 have introduced laws making it harder to cast a ballot. “In fact, while documented instances of voter fraud are almost nonexistent—nationally, the Department of Justice found just 26 cases over a three-year period—up to 5 million potential voters may be kept from the ballot box by these laws,” the ACLU said in a recent newsletter. Now Sacramento is weighing in. The state Senate on Monday approved Senate Joint Resolution 29, calling for a federal investigation into voter-ID laws and similar Republican-led efforts.

Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!
