For Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law student who unwittingly stepped into the national spotlight when she argued the case for contraception coverage in front of Congress and was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh for her effort, the talk show host’s slur wasn’t only an insult. It was also an opportunity.

We Need More Heels Running Around Capitol Hill
Today, as women represent more than 50 percent of the population, and after more than 90 years of having the right to vote, why are we not seeing an increasing number of women in politics, either running for office or in policy making? And, more importantly, how can we exponentially close the gender gap for those in office and in leadership roles within government? Some would suggest that there...

Reversing the Sixties: The 2012 Republican Agenda
“One of the most surprising aspects of contemporary Republican politics has been their across-the-board attack on women’s health services and women’s rights. Rather than an isolated misogynistic program, these attacks should be viewed as one part of a conservative agenda to role back gains made in the sixties.”

GOP congressman to women: Give your money to...
“I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault,” he said, “I’ll tell you this: Contribute your money to people who speak out on your behalf, because the other side — my side — has a lot of it. And you need to send your own message. You need to remind people that you vote, you matter, and that they can’t succeed without your help.”

As if this all wasn’t ridiculous enough… “Conservatives aren’t even bothering to cover up the real reasons why they want to ban abortion anymore. Now they’re just admitting that they want to force women to be submissive to men. A male Republican lawmaker in Alaska has let the cat out of the bag.”

I’m still laughing at some of the comments.
“Governor Perry, I am experiencing mid-cycle cramping. Is this a punishment from god for not getting pregnant this month?”
“Dear Governor Perry, I’m confused why insurance would cover Viagra but not female contraception. Clearly, as a Christian, you realize God blesses only certain men with limp dicks so that those men do not...

“Most surprisingly, the sponsor of the bill is female Democratic Rep. Karen L. MacBeth, who says that the bill is merely an informed consent bill designed to give information to women before they terminate their unwanted pregnancies.” Another enemy of her own gender.

This woman is a traitor to her own gender. Sickening. “Personally I’d like to make a law that mandates a woman watch an abortion being performed prior to having a surgical procedure,’” Proud said. “If it’s not a life it shouldn’t matter, if it doesn’t harm a woman then she shouldn’t care, and don’t we want more transparency and education in the medical profession anyway? We demand it everywhere...
