GOP = war on women

war on women = good times

Maybe they win...

There is no war on women. It is political blather during an election year, and an insult to all women.

I'd love to see the entire page of their "Traditional Natural Family" agenda. The photo only shows blurred lines. This was a room of anger. Nothing more. Yes, every bill that is anti-women is sponsored by a Republican.

JJR - "Every intelligent, thinking, fair minded man and woman I know is insulted by the GOP's intrusion into the private lives and health matters of grown women." Can you give me one example? ...just curious.

http://youtu.be/QMzdNViW-_I Even far-left liberals know that Obama's campaign is waging a war on Conservatives with vicious attacks that make no sense and serve no purpose. They are urging Obama to stop the nonsense.

"you're kidding, right?" is exactly the kind of response I expected. more nonsense.

916 more.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/04/13/1083194/-Shocking-916-War-on-Women-Bills-Introduced-Since-the-Republicans-Took-Over

Would love a link to what they believe is "traditional natural family".

What did Lanie Davis call them? "Kool-aid drinking people in the campaign".. and THAT coming from a liberal Democrat. Stick to the issues. If you can defend Obama's record - fine. we're happy to have that debate. But, a War on Women makes about as much sense as calling saying the Republicans hate freedom. It's simply campaign nonsense - like throwing Grandma off a cliff.. Who actually believes that ANYONE wants to hurt the elderly?. and I can't even believe that clear thinking adults subscribe to such silly rhetoric. It's a 7th grade mentality.

Thanks, Sara.

Sara Waters - supposedly the 916 bills all deal with birth control and abortion. The Republican Party is a Pro Life party. that's correct, we frown upon the murder of children. If that places us in an "Anti-Women" class in your mind - so be it. hmm... I'm Anti-Woman, but I'm a woman.. interesting how that works.. So, the GOP is pro-life, I suppose that would make The Democrat party Pro-Death. and can you explain the "Women as Livestock" bill to me?

JJR - of course you leave the discussion. I expected that. You cannot defend Obama's record, nor can you give me one specific example of "the GOP's intrusion into the private lives and health matters of grown women." except, perhaps to protect the unborn children - since they cannot defend themselves.

BTW: WHERE'S THE BUDGET?

When you have no experience in anything other than agitating, you must resort to it at every turn as you have no legit arguments. Distract from your horrible record by demonizing and dividing, and keep up constant chaos. Constant chaos covers up and distracts keeping the real issues from ever being discussed.

"Reproductive freedom", "choice", "Intrusion into a woman's body", "womens' health care issues"? You mean abortion? If there's nothing wrong with abortion, why not just call it "abortion"?

Well - Sara Waters - again, you are misinformed. I read the Bill. It was amended and there are several exceptions to the "no abortion after 20 weeks" rule. If the unborn child is diseased, the pregnancy can be terminated. The fact that you argue so passionately for the unlimited right for women to kill their unborn children makes me want to puke. Who, if not us, will protect these children? And yet - you will support a ban on Happy Meal toys, because children don't know what is good for them. You make no sense. It's OK to murder them - but don't feed them french fries for crying out loud. Keep talking, Sara. You're doing great so far. You attempt to explain bills you've never read and promote the murder of helpless, innocent babies. Keep talking.

btw: Where's the Budget?

deceased... sorry. i was typing too fast.

@ FWMom and Marie, I get why republicans have passed or tried to pass scores of antiabortion laws in the states and congress, they want to secure their base. I don't understand why the republicans are against providing contraception to any one..It seems to me, if people are serious about unwanted pregnancies that lead to abortion, they would fill the pockets of people with condoms and birth control pills that wanted them.
What about republicans like Walker that went against equal pay for equal work for women? I want my daughter to be paid the same as the guy next to her doing the same job. Why not?
To a lot of women if some shlup was getting paid more just cause he had male genitals, it would mean war.

Russ - 1. We want to protect the unborn to 'secure our base.' So ridiculous, it doesn't even dignify a response. 2. We are not 'against providing contraception to any one." We are against FORCING companies to provide insurance for birth control, if that idea is against their religious conscience. If an institution would like to provide insurance for birth control - that's GREAT! But, don't force organizations, like the Catholic Church to do it. Do you see the difference? It's a matter of CHOICE, not contraception. We are not anti-birth control. 3. What ever happened to personal responsibility? Why is it Joe Taxdollar's responsibility to provide birth control for complete strangers? Birth control is not a Health Issue. It's a "let's have sex, but not have a baby" issue. It's not like Cancer. Birth Contol involves CHOICE. And along with those choices, comes responsibility. And why do you put all that responsibility on the women? Don't men have a responsibility to use condoms?? Better yet, as they also prevent the spread of disease. But the Democrats seem to think only the woman are responsible.. and the taxpayers should pony up so our young women don't have to behave like responsible adults. 98% of the Republican voters are Pro-birth control. But, it's not my responsibility to buy your daughter's pills. It's HER responsibility. Are you capable of understanding that?

Let's talk about Equal pay legislation. it sounds like a GREAT idea. So, why would GOP lawmakers vote against it. I'll tell you why. When the Congress passed the Americans for Disabilities Act, it was to protect disabled people by securing their rights for employment. Here is the reality: 51% of disabled people were employed when the law was passed. Now only 32% are employed. Do you know why? Trial lawyers. Employers are scared to death to employ anyone with a disability because of the Trial Lawyers. They can never fire that employee or they could lose their business. Did they actually help people with disabilities? NO. And the same thing will happen to women. The kindest thing we can do for women who need to work part-time and have greater flexibility (due to motherhoood) is to NOT pass a law that would endanger their ability to get a job. Russ - you should read more AND do some 'critical thinking.'

Out in LaLa land any girl over 18 can get the morning after pill no questions asked..Yep pretty sure...

then let her get the Morning After pill. I don't care one way or the other. just don't ask me to pay for it.

than why ban a subsidized co pay ?? oops no one thought of that idea yet

I recently had an interesting debate concerning "choice" while circulating petitions. The couple's teenage son was sitting outside with the door locked behind him, and he told me he was an "anarchist". the "Mom" said she believed in unlimited power of a "mother" to terminate her unborn at any time. I asked her if it was OK for a "Mom" to kill her newborn as it was being born. She said "yes" I asked her if she thought it was ok for a "Mom" to kill her newborn if it left her body, but still umbilically attached. She said "yes". I asked her if it was ok for a "Mom" to kill her newborn after its umbilical cord was severed. She said "yes". I was astounded that any woman, especially a mother, could think that way.

I then asked why she thought the mother had this murderous right. She said the childe was "her body". I told her that I assumed that she had at least somoe rudimentary biological knowledge, then asked her what was uniquely found in every cell in her body that made it "hers". I saw her struggling, so I told her that which is part of her body has her complete DNA in it, everything from her skin to her saliva to her blood. Then I asked her if it was possible for her unborn child to have her EXACT DNA as does every part of her body. She said no, but she knew wehere this was heading. The fact is that an unborn child has its own unique DNA, and is not "part of the mothers body". It's a unique and separate human being that has a symbiotic relationship with the mother, much like a nursing mother has with a newborn. I asked again, why should she have the right to kill someone that is not part of her body?

Then I aasked her that if she's getting a transfusion of blood from somebody as a mother gives fluids to an unborn, does the person giving her blood then have the right to kill her because now she's part of "his body" by taking his blood? I asked if someone is giving her air in resussitation does he have the right to kill her because by breathing HIS air into her she has a symbiotic relationshsip with him as does a mother to child? At this point, of course,her logic left her and she left, but her husband and son remained.

I told them that I thought that "owning" another person was morally wrong, whether it's a slave and master on a plantation or a mother with an unborn child. The mother does not "own" the child; they're connected and need to rely in each other for life.

That's really what the pro-life movement is about; fighting against those who believe they can "own" other innocent human beings and abuse, or kill, them at their whim.

This nation paid a penance of blood for the evil of slavery 150 years ago. One wonders what price we will need to pay for allowing our current murderous "slavery" under the deception fo calling it "reproductive freedom">

human rights are for everyone except conservative women and fetuses.

War on women? How about Obama and the leftists war on LIBERTY???!!!??? Let's keep the peasants busy talking about the war on women, the war on gays, the war on birth control, the war on minorities, the war on ice (global warming bullsh) and the war on kitty kats. In the meantime the clowns in Washington are taking away more and more of our basic liberties. W A K E U P A M E R I C A ! ! !

Where's the budget?

FwMom,
I never said all the responsibility for preventing pregnancy is on the women.Your reply to contraception is interesting, the way you say your not against it and then you say why should it be joe taxdollars responsibility. Ultimately who pays for a child born to an unemployed single mom? So your ok, with condoms, but not birth control pills? I just think contraception is one of the best preventions of abortions. I am not opposed to having my tax dollars pay for it. I am not judging people when it comes to their sexual practices.
Your response to equal pay for women is laughable. "The kindest thing we can do for women who need to work part-time and have greater flexibility (due to motherhoood) is to NOT pass a law that would endanger their ability to get a job".
Really, you are afraid to raise a question about equal pay to your employer? So are a lot of other women that is why the ledbetter act was passed in 2009.

1. I never said I was OK with condoms, but not birth control pills. I'm ok with any kind of birth control prior to conception. (I have to clarify because some women use 'abortion' as a birth control method.) I simply wonder why the Democrats never ask men to take responsibility for birth control The Democrats lay all the responsibility on women. How is that fair? Seems to me - it takes two. 2. My response to Equal pay is only laughable to people who think Big Government is the answer. The first responsibility of the government is to keep us free. Free to succeed and free to fail. Employers should be free to pay what they can afford and what each employee is worth. They will pay good people a higher wage and poor performers less - as it should be. Of course, the employees always have the freedom to work somewhere else. By legislating away their freedom to choose, you are creating 'unintended consequences' will only hurt both the employee and the employer. Why do you hate freedom? Why do you love Trial Lawyers?

Also Russ - If you want to pay for everyone else's birth control - go ahead. Donate to Planned Parenthood, or whoever you wish. You should have the freedom to do whatever you want with your money. It's not how I CHOOSE to spend MY money.. there's that pesky word again. CHOOSE. FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, which you are so willing to take away from me. Just wait, dude. You're next. When they can take away my right to choose - they are taking yours also. Just keep believing that this is about contraception.. You are falling for their deception and they are laughing all the way back to their Washigton condos.. Watch the other hand, Russ. Watch the other hand.

FWMom,
Sometimes big government is the answer.I realize some people have better work ethics, are more talented and better performers than others.If an employer chooses to reward that employee with bonuses, pay raises or promotions great. The problem is when that great employee happens to be a women or someone of color that the employer chooses to discriminate against.For whatever reason, maybe, the employer wanted sexual favors and didn't get them, maybe he just doesn't like people of color.
If two workers are performing equally and the one happens to be a women she shouldn't get less pay because of her sex. Nor should a person get less pay because of his or her color.

FwMom'
It is interesting how you are all about freedom to choose and you don't want big government to be a part of that choice. Does that also apply for women to have the right to choose what happens to their bodies? Should government tell them what choices they should make?

1. Big Government is NEVER the answer. The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties FOR A REASON. The Founding Fathers brilliantly ennumerated the powers of the federal government, to keep them at a distance. The States were to have the most power, to encourage competition among them to provide the best environments for families and business. This government has gotten TOO big and bossy. AND they spend our money like monopoly money. I'm sick of it. I don't want them telling me what kind of light bulb or washing machine to buy. I don't want them telling my boss how much to pay me! I want him to pay me exactly what I'm worth, let my talents drive up the price, allowing ME to earn what the market will bear. If an employer CHOOSES not to pay employees equally - they will leave. and they have the FREEDOM to do so. I am pro-life. I would recommend against abortion every time. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that abortion is legal - so, with great sadness, I accept their ruling. If a woman chooses to kill her unborn child - she can do so. But, at some point the 'fetus' becomes a viable human baby inside the womb. The brain and nervous system are formed. Late Term abortions are horrific and cruel and no longer become an issue of 'the woman's body'. This is clearly a Right to Life argument. Terminating a pregnancy after the baby is capable of surviving outside the womb is murder.

btw: where's the budget? 3 years. no budget from the Senate. Who's in charge? oh yes.. that would be Harry Reid.... He's breaking the law and liberals don't care.. Where is Eric Holder? God forbid if a budget wasn't passed under George Bush! Democrats would have been apoplectic!

Tinley Park Mom - Not one substative comment, but lots of name calling... typical liberal response. Don't waste any more of my time.
