916 Anti-Women Bills Introduced By The GOP Since March 2011

The GOP would have you believe there’s no war on women after they started the war on women. The first opportunity they had to deflect attention away was when Hilary Rosen, off the top of her head, made the comment that Ann Romney never worked a day in her life. We all know what she meant but it gave the right ammunition to turn it into the war on moms. Just so we’re clear, there is no war on moms. That’s just plain malarkey and everyone, including Republicans know it.

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]

On Saturday, April 28, 2012, women and men across the United States will converge in state capitols and cities, including New York City, to give voice  against  the oppression of women’s access to health care and women’s rights.  Politicians in Washington and in legislatures across the country have been trying, and in some cases succeeding, to legislate away the rights that women have fought for and won over 40 years ago. Over the last several months alone, nearly 1000 bills have been proposed by the GOP targeting women’s rights. This isn’t only a war on women but an attack on all our rights.

Wisconsin Republican Lawmaker: ‘Women Make Less Than Men Because Money Is More Important To Men’

Here’s something to be angry about.

Grothman blamed females for prioritizing childrearing and homemaking over generating an income, which is interesting considering that Grothman and Republicans essentially treat women as babymakers.

Sandra Fluke, Nicolle Wallace, Chelsea Clinton And More Talk Women In Politics

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.

Alaska Republican Says Women Should Have To Get Permission From Men To Get An Abortion

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.”

Rhode Island Joins War Against Women, Bill Would Require Ultrasound Before Abortion

“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.

“AZ GOP lawmaker wants women ‘to watch an abortion’ before having one”

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 else.”
