The Doonesbury Comic Strip Republicans Don’t Want You To See: The Friday Edition
March 16, 2012
By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

In Thursday’s edition of Doonesbury, the state sanctioned rape of a woman seeking an abortion commenced on behalf of the GOP base. The doctor used a 10 inch “shaming wand” to perform a transvaginal ultrasound in an attempt to humiliate the poor woman into deciding against having an abortion. Today, the story continues.

Addicting Info has faithfully carried the Doonesbury abortion comic strip all week long. Why? Because many newspapers have decided that censoring this topic is a good way to keep people ignorant of what Republicans are doing to women’s rights. These so-called “news” organizations have failed to keep their readers informed because they would rather bow down to conservative demands. We here at AI reject such censorship and will continue to bring you the Doonesbury comic strip as long as this abortion segment continues. Republicans have declared war on women and everyone has the right to know exactly how the GOP is waging that war. To that end, Garry Trudeau decided to include the war in Doonesbury.


Today’s segment deals with the aftermath of the invasive ultrasound. The woman’s doctor tell her that she is now required to have an intimate with the fetus and that he must describe the fetus to her in detail. He goes on to describe the fetal features as nothing more than mere specks. In other words, a clump of cells that is not a person. The woman then takes a shot at Rick Perry. Check out the Friday strip along with all the others you may or may not have missed this week below.

Republicans don’t want anyone to see this strip because they know it will draw the ire of much of the country. Women represent just over half of the national population, yet they are having virtually no say in what middle aged white male conservatives decide about their sex lives and medical privacy. It’s wrong and shouldn’t be tolerated. The only people who should be able to decide what is best for women’s bodies is women. Republicans have completely obliterated their claim of being the party that stands for small government the stays out of our lives. They’ve decided that small government should violate our privacy, force us to get medical procedures against our will and dictate what we do in our private lives with others. If that is their new definition of small government, I want no part of it. To combat this war on women and Republican censorship, please be sure to spread the word and share this with everyone you know. Women are counting on us to stand with them and their rights.

I am so glad there are men like Justin on this planet.

Ladies, we are under attack.

Since most newspapers are large organizations run by republican
conservatives, it's little wonder the strip got pulled.

Since our two local papers merged into one with a very conservative editorial staff, Doonesberry was pulled. They claimed it was stupid and nobody was reading it. That doesn't keep them from running some very stupid and hardly readable editorial "cartoons".

First off it was a decision made by various papers not to run it, 2nd only stupid people read doonesberry or whatever it is.
