Default Shocking, just shocking


You and your sockpuppet friends truly have problems. Who the heck is

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion
care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major
backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't.


This is a difference of opinion about when life begins and who gets to
decide when to kill a child.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for
victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But
victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain
"victims."


What is wrong with calling the person alleging the crime the accuser?

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it
legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)


"A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition
of ?justifiable homicide? to include killings that are intended to
prevent harm to a fetus?a move that could make it legal to kill doctors
who perform abortions."

Interesting! Not exactly open season on doctors who provide abortion
care.

4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other
aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.


Where are the sperm donors? Don't they have any responsibility to
support the children that have created?

5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let
hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion
necessary to save her life.


Are you trying to deny someone their religious beliefs.

6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids'
preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be
home with the kids, not out working.


Did you know that head start does not provide children with a head
start. By the time children are in the third grade they are all at about
the same level regardless of whether they have attended head start
programs or not.

Head start is just another way to get the government to pay for day-
care.

7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same
program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could
lose their spots in preschool.


Head Start does not provide a head start.

8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are
taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for
employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.


Maybe those women should have gotten jobs rather than been dependent
upon their husbands for their entire support.

9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all
federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the
most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our
country.


It is about time. Planned Parenthood is nothing more than a way to
provide on demand birth control for junior high school and high school
girls.

10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate
all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans.
But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild
horses. You can't make this stuff up).


Family planning? How about pay attention in school and keep your knees
held together tightly. Those who submit to their baser feelings are
doomed to screw up their lives.
