Yet another primary example of the complete and utter lack of "rational thought" that is the modern Liberal!
Justice nominee: Pregnancy 'involuntary servitude' (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93520)
Members of Congress want Obama to withdraw Johnsen's name

Dozens of members of Congress have signed a letter to President Obama asking him to rescind his nomination of Dawn Johnsen to the Justice Department's Office of Legal Council.
They cite her radical pro-abortion views, including her description of pregnancy as slavery.
"She's compared pregnancy to slavery and described it as involuntary servitude," Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, says. "She's compared women to no more than a fetal container."
He was interviewed by Greg Corombos of Radio America. The audio of the question-and-answer session is embedded here:

King said Johnsen also has described pro-life activists as terrorists.
The letter he and more than five dozen other members of Congress have signed and sent to Obama asks the president to withdraw the nomination.
In Obama's short tenure in office, he's already reversed the long-standing Mexico City Policy so that U.S. taxpayer dollars now can be used for abortion overseas.
He's also worked on a plan to rescind the right of doctors and physicians to not provide abortion services if it conflicts with their own religious beliefs. In addition, he has promised to work on a plan to overturn all abortion restrictions nationwide.
King noted when Obama rescinded the Mexico City Policy Jan. 23, he stated, "No matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion and support women and families in the choices they make. To accomplish these goals, we must work to find common ground."
"If President Obama is in any way serious about finding common ground on abortion, he should immediately withdraw his nomination of Dawn Johnsen to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel," King said.
He cited her arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court that, "The woman is constantly aware for nine months that her body is not wholly her own: the state has conscripted her body for its own ends. Thus, abortion restrictions, 'reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers.'"
So let me see if I can get my hear wrapped around this insanity. A woman VOLUNTARILY drops on her back, voluntarily throws her legs in the air, and voluntarily "gets jiggy with it", knowing full well that HER voluntary failure to use contraception (or insist that her partner use it) can very well result in her voluntarily becoming pregnant, has somehow been morphed into "the state" conscripting her body for it's own ends????
Is this bi**h;
drunk,
stoned,
stupid, or
ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I'm going to have to go with 4.
The fact that she actually made that argument before SCOTUS, and wasn't immediately DISBARRED and involuntarily committed to a mental facility gives me serious pause.
