GOP’s ‘war on women’ continues in Nebraska
State Sen. Deb Fischer came out of nowhere yesterday to become Nebraska Republicans’ nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Ben Nelson. By my count, she’s the first woman to be nominated for Senate or governor by either major party this year — although several female incumbents will almost certainly be renominated when the time comes, such as Democrats Kristen Gillibrand of New York and Maria Cantwell of Washington, and several female challengers are strong possibilities to capture nominations, including Republicans Linda Lingle of Hawaii and Heather Wilson of New Mexico.
If we add each party’s nominations for Senate and governor from 2010, we get 11 Republican women and 14 Democratic women — 10 Republicans and eight Democrats if we don’t include incumbents. (These figures don’t include Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, who lost the 2010 GOP Senate primary but won the general election as a write-in Republican.) Which can only mean one thing if follow liberal logic:
In the “war on women,” there sure are a lot of double-agents!

do any of these women who the GOP is waging war against have an older sister for me? (I’m so lonely but I vote)

“Red herring alert.”
You mean like when states like Texas cut off Planned Parenthood because 3% of their business is providing abortions? Cutting them off of funding that doesn’t go towards abortion.
There is no war on the women in Texas who will no longer be able to get services such as breast cancer screenings who at the same time have no intention of getting an abortion?

So now we define rape and incest as “voluntary procreation”?
——
Red herring alert.
Rape and incest are 0.1% of abortions.
99.9% are elective, due to irresponsibility, stupidity, or laziness.

impurity
sensuality
idolatry

enmity
strife
jealousy

envy
hate
drunkenness
orgies
fornicators
adulterers
and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not

Elective and choice are synonymous in this context, so what’s your point?

“The Guttmacher Institute found that 92 new provisions restricting access to reproductive health care were enacted by state legislatures in 2011, four times the number of restrictions enacted the previous year.”
BS. If you define “access” as being “let government; i.e. taxpayers, pay for it” then you can redefine the argument as having so many bills restricting “access”. But you need to redefine “access” if you want to create a phony “War against women”.
Getting someone else to pay for it isn’t “access” – it’s a handout.
Finn and the Dems are full of bull on this issue. But is there really a war against women if you have to lie to make it seem as if there is?

Kyle-we women don’t forget and we vote. Just wait until November and see what happens with the very real War on Women voters. I said it yesterday and will repeat:
Komen donations down 40%. Think there just might be a correlation? But then again you supported Newt. Nuff said.

At last night’s Clio Awards—the ad world’s annual fete—host Joan Rivers immediately won my affection when she opened with a grisly joke about an ad campaign I’ve come to despise. “I want to welcome most of you here tonight,” Rivers croaked to the assembled crowd of advertising executives. “But not the people responsible for the E*Trade Baby. You can go f*$% yourselves. Where is Casey Anthony when you need her?”

Trashman, here is why you’ll never win any argument with me.
I don’t care about women, blacks, whites, men, gays straights, Christians, Mormons, Agnostics, Atheists any other group you might wish to define.
I care about people because I see them all as the same. I don’t treat anyone any differently because they’re in some group you wish to turn against me. You will fail at any attempt to do so because you cannot conceive of anyone who would not see different people as being different.
I am, and remain, your worst nightmare, Trashman. Someone who will never play your game of dividing one group against another.

He did it while liberals like you waved white flags and camped in Crawford and cried over defense spending and forged Bush’s military papers and tried to incriminate his wife.
Don’t even mention “divisive tactics” with a straight face. Shameful is too mild for the antics of the Democratic Party. It was your party and your support for such things. They haven’t changed. .
