by the attacks on the reproductive rights of women by a Vaggle of CONservatives, rethugliCONs, libercarelessians, teabaggers, and theocRATS. We are also very saddened by how these pitiful excuses for human beings have mocked and degraded the word Liberal, turning it into a misnomer, as opposed to the vibrant political philosophy that represents and celebrates much of the good that exists in the human condition.

Does anyone remember this Missouri Maiden of the Religious Right and one of the women warriors fighting her sisters in the never ending "War on Women?"
We understood that many, if not all, in the aforementioned Vaggle, would keep their true views on women's reproductive rights hidden in the shadows, employing obfuscation, propaganda, deceit, double speak, and outright lies to disguise their true intentions. We were also aware that they don't play by the Marcus of Queensbury rules. Hell, they didn't play by any rules at all except for the single rule they know, "win at any and all costs." We also knew that once their Vaggle was large enough, they would use guerilla tactics to overpower school boards, town halls, commissions, state legislatures, and even the congress of the United States so that they could drive through the most reprehensible legislation against women's reproductive rights imaginable. Check, check, check, check!
Eyesbright points out in her wonderful diary yesterday that "Knowing a politician's stance and votes on reproductive rights is the equivalent of hearing them speak after giving them a dose of truth serum."
I agree with Eyesbright in that "Knowing a politician's stance and votes", as with all knowledge, can be very productive in educating people on their views thus influencing the vote. The real problem is that no verbiage has existed allowing for the immediate and unequivocal labeling of these people for what they truly are. Until NOW!
My beautiful wife (a minister's daughter), my daughter (in her final year of college), and I (Air Force brat) sat down, almost four years ago, to come up with the nomenclature and a definition that would fill that void. We all decided that anything that we came up with needed to be short and to the point and supported by a definition that all, who supported women's reproductive rights, could agree with.
Before we go any further, let it be known that ALL links to the 'Urban Dictionary' in this post are only referencing the 'Top Definition' on each page linked. We do realize that the 'Urban Dictionary' is a hotbed of misogyny, sexism, and infantile sexual innuendo, but it has proven useful by allowing us to give definition to some of the most degrading, hypocritical, sexist, misogynist, and cruel people that inhabit our society. As a matter of personal opinion, I don't believe there is a single definition on 'Urban Dictionary' that is more disgusting then the people and organizations we have called out and defined.
The definition was the easy part, the nomenclature was a bit tricky because we wanted it to be both appropriate and disgusting at the same time. We very quickly settled on the 'vampire' as the perfect creature of myth that most represented the Vaggle that preyed on woman and children. We then preceded vampire with "Vaginal", a word that makes many people a bit uneasy in normal conversation but struck right to the heart of the issue. It also had the most wonderful benefit of being a word that would never be spoken by the sexually repressed CONservatives, rethugliCONs, libercarelessians, teabaggers, and theocRATS that make up the vast majority of the anti-choice and anti-woman's rights movements.
We believe that it is no longer defensible to continue to show up at a gun fight with a knife, it is time to use the power of the pen and the airbrush (don't forget the fangs) to label these sociopathic miscreants that are waging a relentless "War on Women." Many may prefer to use the less provocative VagVamp or VagHag to moderate their defining of an adversary of women's reproductive rights, but we prefer, and give to all members of Daily Kos, for their use, the copyrighted moniker and its' definition:
Vaginal Vampire© – (VagVamp – slang, link, label)
Any person, group of people, or organization that through their speech, writings, and/or actions are implicitly attempting to control, direct, and/or subjugate a woman's inherent rights to the control of her body, her mind, her sexuality, and medical choices made between her and her doctor. Most of these Vaginal Vampire attacks are veiled in authoritarian religious dogma and conservative political rhetoric in an attempt to steal and control the power of the Womb and/ or Woman. This is accomplished through the demonizing of birth control, abortion, Planned Parenthood, the dumbing down and/or elimination of sexual education, the defining down of the violent crime of rape, the propagation of abstinence only, and the theft of a women's rights of equality. The tactics employed to accomplish these goals run the gamut from intimidation, fear, propaganda, terror, violence, and murder/assassination.
As with imaginary vampires, these Vaginal Vampires gain their power, wealth, notoriety, and prestige among their peers and the media by employing deceit, propaganda, and out right lies to suck the lifeblood from women who are making their own religious, moral, and heart wrenching decisions based on their individual medical and health circumstances.
VagVamps consider no measure of action to be too vile or contemptible, not even terrorism or murder, to attain their most reprehensible ends. It also appears that those most concerned with a woman's womb are way at the back of the pack in the caring and support after that child is born. This manifests itself in their unrelenting promotion of the cutting of early child health care, pre-natal care, head start, education, Planned Parenthood, and food programs, just to mention a few.
