The GOP is Not Pro-Life

We all knew it was coming thanks to the leak. Nonetheless, the impact from such a blow is still hard hitting.

On Friday, June 24th, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, killing the consitutional right to abortion.

The GOP is not now, nor has it ever been a pro-life party. "Yes, they are!" I can hear some of you saying. Shut up. SHUT. UP. Repulicans go on and on about the preciousness of unborn life. All the while they cannot give a crap about the millions of American lives that already exist, doing zilch to show they are a true pro-life party.

The GOP is pro-birth. They will fight tooth and nail for the unborn. They've been doing it for decades. But the second that child is born, the ferocity to fight for that child that was unborn is gone, scattered like cockroaches when the lights come on. Nine months. That is the extent the GOP can be bothered to care about life. Once they are out of the womb, babies get the same care from the GOP that they give every other American: none.

We are currently dealing with a baby formula crisis. Back in late May 192 house Repuplicans voted no on a bill that would grant easier access to baby formula. Feeding starving babies should be a no brainer, but for the GOP, sticking it to the democrats and President Biden is more important. If they really were pro-life, every single one of those house repuplicans would have voted yes.

Mass shootings are a regular occurrence in America because our gun laws are a joke. It is easier to get a gun than it is to get a driver's license. GOP members could vote with democrats on stricter gun laws but that would mean they'd have to stop getting that mad money from the NRA. They care more about some idiot's right to own a weapon of war and money than they do the victims of the Buffalo and Uvalde mass shootings.

Republicans are against free health care and a myraid of other things that fall in with pro-life policies. I'm not even sure why they call themselves a pro-life party when they've shown that time and time again, they are anti-life as it gets.

Amazing Spider-Man #573 Variant

As I've stated in the past, I'm not one for variant comic covers. The limited print run of these covers is an excuse for the comic distributors to jack up the price on something I wonder will stay under the $3 price tag. Regardless of my thoughts on variant covers and the current direction of Amazing Spider-Man, I still think the variant for Amazing # 573 is five different kinds of Awesome. Note that the all powerful, immortal Stephen Colbert is on the cover, paying homage to Amazing Fantasy #15. Not only does the cover bring a smile to my face, but I think the artwork is pretty solid and is drawn by Marvel's EiC, Joe Quesada. I may not be all that fond of the guy, but he's one heck of an artist. My only knock against the art here is that Spidey's costume looks baggy. If you don't feel like paying an absurd amount of cash for a flippin' comic book just to get this variant, having a digital version cover, or the Marvle.com logo in the right hand corner, right...

Back to Red & Blue

You gotta love Spider-Man's black costume. Its simple, sleek design has been a fan favorite for more than 20 years. It looks just as cool in the cartoons as well. As sweet a costume as it is, I'm always happy to see the web-head return to the classic red & blue tights, which is what he does in the Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Intervention." This episode moves at a slower pace than others but considering the heart of it is Peter's inner conflict with the symbiote, I think moving slower was the right choice here. This episode was written by Greg Weisman, the show's producer. He hasn't written an episode since "Survival of the Fittest," the series premier episode, so it really was a pleasure to see him return to the writing helm. The good news is that aunt May, despite suffering from a heart attack in the previous episode is doing fine. The bad news is, the bill is pretty huge and this puts Peter in a foul mood. Mary Jane, Gwen and Liz all tr...

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what ...
