I admit, I don't follow matters of non-gay political import as closely as I should. I knew there was some brouhaha coming with the whole Obamacare thing; but if you asked me to lay out the specifics of what was actually being voted on by the Supreme Court, all I could say would be "healthcare or death." Similarly, all Republicans seem to see is this:

Clearly, today is a day of celebration for all of us who just can't wait to have ourselves unlimited free abortions. But what can I, a simple pop-culture blogger, really add to the conversation at this point? I could just regurgitate some Rachel Maddow and make you think I'm wicked smart and totally informed...or I could just go for the 21st Century soundbite that is funny internetz graphics expressing complex political arguements. As usual, nuanced debate and political commentary barely put up a fight. 

Here's a roundup of some of the best responses to today's Supreme Court ruling. Thanks, Facebook!

Even Eddard Stark is excited-- with Obamacare, he doesn't have to pay to have his head sewn back on after that unfortunate incident with the longsword. As a man of honor, he's still wary of how the Lannisters Tea Party will take the news, of course.

I'm also pretty psyched that my friend who has cancer and no insurance will be able to get coverage again soon, thanks to the provision in the Obamacare ruling that sez pre-existing conditions are bullshit. Oh, so you're sick? OK, no insurance for you, EVER AGAIN. The bill below is for a single appointment, where my friend was given a single shot. No more!

...And lastly, a graphic with actual, you know, information. So you can know what it is you're celebrating. Boo-ya! 

So happy Healthcare Day, bois & grrlz. Let's all celebrate by getting abortions. Even if you're not pregnant. It's all about preventative care, right?
