But There Is No Republican War On Women

Coulter's view on women who dare to support President Obama is, in my opinion, the way most Republicans view women who don't think like they do.



“I think it’s probably a good sign that Obama is so desperate just to get the base Democratic voter — stupid single women — to vote for him,” Coulter told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday. “This is good news that he needs to lock up that part of the Democratic vote.”
“He’s trying to get the stupid single women voter, which is the Democratic Party base,” Coulter repeated. “And I would just say to stupid single women voters, your husband will not be able to pay you child support if Obamacare goes through and Obama is re-elected. You are talking about the total destruction of wealth. It is the end of America as we know it.”
“Great, you will get free contraception; you won’t have to pay a $10 co-pay, but it will be the end of America. Think about that!”
Even the Republican women are attacking other women! Things are really surreal sometimes.

Rush Limbaugh Show Dropped By CBS Affiliate Station

“The real war on women is being conducted by the regime, by the Obama administration,” he explained. “Since Barack Obama took office, the unemployment rate for women has gone up from 7 to 8.1 percent. … The poverty rate among women rose to 14.5 percent last year, up from 13.9 percent when Obama was immaculated.”

Limbaugh continued: “If there is a war on women, it is happening and it is being directed from the White House with Obama as the generalissimo.”

Politico’s Josh Boak noted last week that job losses for women appeared to be worse than for men during Obama’s presidency because “[a]lmost 3.3 million men were fired during the George W. Bush’s last year in office, while the losses for women were more drawn out over time.”

As Rush continues to lie and act like there is no "war on women" being perpetrated by the right. He is actually projecting and trying to turn it around on to Democrats and President Obama. Straight out of the "Karl Rove playbook". Sadly some people will listen to him and believe it. As long as he continues his fictional reality people need to keep up the pressure on advertisers. My money is precious in these times like these as I'm sure it is with a lot of people and I have no problem not spending what little I have on people who continue to support his show.

The Dawn Of Another Day: Another Attack

Just to prove my point from the post I made yesterday it is now the next day and a new attack against women. This time it is coming from an Idaho GOP lawmaker who states "I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes on.”.

This was a comment made by state Sen. Chuck Winder in response to opponents of his forced ultrasound bill brought to his attention that the bill makes no exceptions for rape, victims of incest, or medical emergencies.

I would just like to thank these hatemongers for helping me make my point. In this case the government has no business telling doctors how to do their job. They also need to stay out of the personal relationship between a doctor and the patient. Legislators have no business dictating medicinal practice. The courts will throw all of this garbage out but now it's going to cost taxpayers to do so. We already know they are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks including women's uteri!

Here is an example of what these sick bastards force women to go through first hand:

'We Have No Choice': One Woman's Ordeal with Texas' New Sonogram Law

 The doctor and nurse were professional and kind, and it was clear that they understood our sorrow. They too apologized for what they had to do next. For the third time that day, I exposed my stomach to an ultrasound machine, and we saw images of our sick child forming in blurred outlines on the screen.
“I’m so sorry that I have to do this,” the doctor told us, “but if I don’t, I can lose my license.” Before he could even start to describe our baby, I began to sob until I could barely breathe. Somewhere, a nurse cranked up the volume on a radio, allowing the inane pronouncements of a DJ to dull the doctor’s voice. Still, despite the noise, I heard him. His unwelcome words echoed off sterile walls while I, trapped on a bed, my feet in stirrups, twisted away from his voice.
“Here I see a well-developed diaphragm and here I see four healthy chambers of the heart...”
I closed my eyes and waited for it to end, as one waits for the car to stop rolling at the end of a terrible accident.
When the description was finally over, the doctor held up a script and said he was legally obliged to read me information provided by the state. It was about the health dangers of having an abortion, the risks of infection or hemorrhage, the potential for infertility and my increased chance of getting breast cancer. I was reminded that medical benefits may be available for my maternity care and that the baby’s father was liable to provide support, whether he’d agreed to pay for the abortion or not.
 Did you catch the lie in the diatribe doctors are forced, by law, to spread. Abortions do not cause an increased risk of breast cancer. Just the fact that lie is in there proves this is nothing but a scare tactic. These attacks of hate and vitriol should not be allowed to continue. And maybe, one day, enough people will have enough and it will end!

And The Hits Keep Coming

All it takes is the dawn of another day to read a new headline attacking a women's right to healthcare, contraception, or even an abortion. Laws made by men to advance their agenda of interfering with women's healthcare.  Today the attacks are coming out of Tennessee called the Life Defense Act of 2012.

The proposed law "mandates that the Tennessee Department of Health make detailed demographic information about every woman who has an abortion available to the public, including her age, race, county, marital status, education level, number of children, the location of the procedure and how many times she has been pregnant. Each report would also have to include the name of the doctor who performed the procedure."

 This just seems unfathomable. When will men figure out once they allow these laws to take hold there will be nothing stopping them from "mandating" different aspects of healthcare for men? It isn't that hard to imagine. Who do you know that has had a taste of power that hasn't wanted more? These are power moves. It might be about women right now but it will be about everyone if laws like these are allowed to stand.

Women Should Listen

I don't know how certain people feel about Rachel Maddow but personally I find her smart and intelligent. She researches her stories and can back them up with facts that even the lay person can find for themselves. If she discovers that she has made a mistake she will immediately take to the air and make a retraction or even apologize if necessary. Not many commentators does that these days.

When I watched this segment I felt like it was one of her best to date. If I was a woman it would have had me steaming. I, as a man, have always fought for women's rights any chance I got and let me tell you since 2010 I have been busy. If you are a female or like me supportive of women's rights you should watch this segment whether you are left, right, conservative or liberal.




I would also like to add a few graphs to help get the point across. These are screen shots I took from Rachel's show. These graphs should help sink in what Republicans are trying to do to women's healthcare!

Mitch McConnell Wants Vote On Birth Control Mandate


I'm 61, don't use checkups, tests or drugs, and I won't pay for those who do. Articles here pitch contracept
­ion as a benefit, but it costs employers more and they take it out of workers pay. It's why wages haven't gone up in 30 years, they went to pay for increasing medical coverage. Now the average family policy costs $14K, and the retired and self-emplo­yed can't afford it - but ACA

This is my response to the comment posted at the link above. However, the responses that everyone else made were so much more impressive. Check the link above to see what I am referring to.

What about the 28 states that already have this requiremen­t or the 8 that don't allow churches out of that requiremen­t. Everything you stated has already been debunked in science and the many comments posted here. That said, if Republican­s want to run on "contracep­tion" then I'm sure that is a fight the Democrats would love to have. The majority of Americans understand the importance of contracept­ion along with the medical necessity of it in a lot of instances.
