Is There a Political War On Women in This Country or Not?

The Left has made the argument that the Right is targeting women's rights like never before. The record numbers of anti-abortion bills, the attacks on Planned Parenthood, the highly invasive ultrasound probes that have earned Virginia's Governor Bob McDonnell the nickname "Governor Vaginal Probe" and dozens of other issues that affect primarily women have been put forth by both Federal and State Republican legislators. See list below.
So, what do you attribute all the Republican sponsored anti-women’s legislation to if it is not a slap at women and how can this possibly work out well for them?

· Every GOP Senator voted AGAINST Equal Pay for Women Act.

· Every GOP Senator voted AGAINST Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment.

· Every GOP member vote FOR Anti-Safe Abortion Legislation.

· Every GOP member vote FOR Blunt/Rubio Anti-Women's Equal Health
Coverage Amendment. While Blunt/Rubio Amendment does not allow employer
to deny men employee health coverage for Vasectomy, the Blunt/Rubio
Amendment allows Employer to deny female employees & female
dependents: contraception, tubes tied, and hysterectomies.

· GOP Redefine Rape.

· GOP write legislation to probe metal prongs up a woman's vagina.

· GOP change legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence
to "accuser".

· GOP write legislation that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides
abortion care. (South Dakota GOP)

· GOP write legislation to cut nearly a billion dollars of aid to low-income
pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

· GOP write legislation that would let hospitals allow a woman to die
rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

· GOP write law cutting ALL funding for low-income kids saying "Women
should really be home with the kids, not out working. (Maryland)

· GOP Cut Funding for Head Start, by $1 Billion.

· Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women: GOP write Bill to CUT
funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

· GOP Candidates for President vow and pledge to Cut Funding for Planned
Parenthood.

· GOP voted for an Amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood
health centers.

· GOP write Bill to eliminate all funds for Federal Family Planning Program.

· GOP Write Bill to Provide Contraception for wild horses but ENDS
all Federal Funding for Family Planning, including contraception
coverage. (Dan Burton(R))

· GOP Jan Brewer (R- AZ) Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday
signed one of the most controversial and restrictive abortion bans in the
country, which experts say effectively bans abortions after 18 weeks and
declares that a woman could be pregnant 2 weeks before she even had sex.
States passed 83 laws restricting access to abortion, nearly four times the
23 laws passed in 2010. A lot of that had to do with the 2010 elections, which
ushered in a wave of Republican legislators and governors. This year, the
number of states with fully anti-abortion governments — in which both the
governor and the legislature oppose abortion rights — increased from 10 to 15.

 

See? ...the GOP does lots of things

 

Of course they deny that they have a unified effort to undermine women but none of them can defend ALL of the anti-woman legislation we have seen in the past TWO YEARS!!! Nor can they come up with a reason why so many anti-women bills have suddenly surfaced especially in the states with all Republican legislatures and Republican governors. Talk about self-imposed blindness.
