\"judiciary-committee_113th-Congress\"<\/p>\n

Fact: America was founded on Representative government.
\nFact: Whites are 72.4% of the population; females account for ~51%.
\nFact: ALL the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee<\/a> of the 113th Congress are white males.<\/p>\n

Fascinating.<\/p>\n

Furthermore: one of the first resolutions of 2014’s session of congressional representatives was the introduction of HR 7<\/a>, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.<\/p>\n

HR 7 specifically takes aim at the District of Columbia:<\/p>\n

Prohibits the inclusion of abortion in any health care service furnished by a federal or District of Columbia health care facility or by any physician or other individual employed by the federal government or the District.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The District of Columbia has a non-voting delegate<\/a> by the name of Eleanor Norton, who was not allowed to speak – to be representative<\/em> – to the Judiciary Committee on the introduction of this un-Constitutional bill. Would you guess that Eleanor is a non-White female:<\/p>\n

\"ms-norton_dc-delegate\"<\/p>\n

They wouldn’t even let her speak.<\/p>\n

Truly fascinating, this representative government!<\/p>\n
