Why Republicans Punishing a Rep for Saying “Vagina” Matters

Michigan Republicans’ reaction to the simple word “vagina” was more than just a quirky one-off story that would anger reasonable Americans and provide fodder for late-night talk show monologues. Rather, the aversion to a woman in a position of power daring to utter the word “vagina” during a debate on legislation meant to curb abortion rights is symbolic of one of the festering abscesses (yes, there are more than one) infecting the modern GOP: a destructive obsession with turning back the clock to the 1950s on the role of women in society.

Does Your Doctor Practice Politics?

Does your doctor practice politics? No, I don’t mean running for office or giving money to super PACs. I’m referring to his or her medical judgment — and the clinical decisions foisted upon your physician by insurers, bureaucrats, and sometimes the law.

That’s just plain malarkey and everyone, including Republicans know it.

The attacks on women’s health haven’t stopped since then – but neither have we. In a time when lawmakers consistently put politics over women’s lives, we’re fighting to ensure that all women have access to affordable health care. Please reblog this pic if you stand with Planned Parenthood.

The GOP Field Guide to Women’s Bodies

Despite being birthed by a woman, spending puberty developing a minor case of carpal tunnel fantasizing about women, spending all of college trying to get laid by women — despite all these things, the GOP’s beliefs about women and their bodies are not much more reasonable than a full blown belief in magic.
