Watch the House of Representatives insult us live

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the so-called “Protect Life Act” at 11:30 – right now! Yes, this is another vote to stop abortion insurance coverage. I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty clear to me this is what people are really demanding at all the Occupy Wall Street protests popping up all over the country – more abortion restrictions. Good job Congress, way to keep doing the important work.

You can watch the vote live on CSPAN if you’re in the mood to get pissed off. I imagine the feminist Twitters will be full of snark today.
