The Most Honest Explanation Of The GOP’s War On Women You’ll See
Posted on August 20, 2013 in Political Cartoons
Never one to shy from controversy, cartoonist Garry Trudeau took the GOP to task in 2012 when they began releasing their Kraken-esque pieces of legislation that would require women seeking abortions to endure a series of painful, invasive and sovereignty-violating procedures before undergoing the operation–which is still, to the chagrin of most social conservatives, authorized under Roe v. Wade. So contentious were Trudeau’s sketches that quite a few papers opted out of publishing many of the cartoons you see below. In Trudeau’s eyes, however, to not cover them would be akin to “comedy malpractice”. A year later, things haven’t gotten any better and Trudeau’s work unfortunately remains as relevant as ever.
