I have supported Larson for years -- even before he became a generally excellent representative for the 1st District of CT (Hartford area). I'm in the fifth -- Chris Murphy (bless him). I refuse to support his blinkered bullshite stance on the fabricated contraceptive debacle.
I've called the D.C. office (no answer) vacation again for the House. I called the Hartford number (busy) either off the hook or people are incensed.
Since Larson's phone system is so overwhelmed or defunct temporarily, I've called a network of religious folks in the greater Hartford area who support women's reproductive rights -- from contraceptives to abortion. I hope Larson's phone person(s) are prepared for one particular 68 year old nun who makes me blush (linguistically speaking).
This stance is an utter embarrassment. You took an oath of office to represent the U.S. and honor the laws of the land -- you did not take an oath to cower to Archbishop Mansell of the Hartford diocese or any of those other over-privileged, women hating hypocrites.
I haven't written a diary since last October -- I'm really pissed re: this issue and, unless I'm the biblical Elizabeth or Mary, I couldn't get pregnant. Here's my final point -- if young voters are too fucking lazy again this year -- then, I'm done with your issues. Have a great life of oppression.
