The latest affront to women is cutting the funding for cancer screening for women to pay for the lower student loan rate. To end corporate welfare for the most profitable corporations in the world, oil companies, stopped using a Senate fillibuster (majority would pass it). Telling a woman she must do something her and her doctor say is not needed with ultrasounds invasive or not is the GOP controlling their bodies. 1 in 5 women will use Planned Parenthood non-abortion services yet funding by GOP is ending. The majority of seniors without a state photo ID are women. Ending contraception with life at conception was put on the ballot in MS, tried to be passed elsewhere. Gov. Walker rescinded equal pay for women doing the same job. Conservatives say this is not happening, there is no war on women, but the fact is they are at war with more than half of America.

+8With the assault on women's health care and reproductive rights and now the repeal of equal pay for equal work (meaning women should get paid as much as men if they're doing the same job) in Wisconsin, and I don't know where else, it's real. It's very real. It wouldn't have a foothold if people read more and didn't go for sexism and prejudice getting lauded in politics as family values. Anytime that happens in a crypto-theocratic way, expect Religious Reich stuff to convenience budget cuts.
That many women with PMS together at one time in the capitol would make even the bravist Marine cringe
Adjective:
Deserving hatred and contempt.
Synonyms:
contemptible - abject - mean - vile - GOP
All budget items must be weighed and balanced in order to effectively run legitimate government functions without bankrupting the country. Making such decisions piecemeal is budgetary suicide. Cost-benefit analysis and the rightful role of government are legitimate issues to debate in that context.
You must be one of those Reichties that only read the 2nd Amendment and don't care about anything else....
I know, Reichties only believe in the constitution when it is convenient, otherwise they can't stand what it stands for.....
Your proof of Reichties having no intelligence.......You only believe in the second amendment....I bet you can recite that right off the top of your head, right.....
What also I don't understand is that Men would allow their women to be treated as children and not independent people capable of running their own lives, Pretty pathetic.
Why don't you tell the whole story instead of just repeating misleading headlines.
