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!

The “War on Women” is in reference to the 400+ legislative actions in play the last two years at the state level across the country. Limiting reproductive rights, deciding what can and can’t be covered by health care, etc.
Someone on here can post a link to the christian church web site that is bragging about all the acts in play.
The War on Women has nothing to do with the number of females we have up for election.

Maybe because those women don’t hang all their decisions on one aspect of life? I think you have a pretty shallow view of female mental capacity, Kyle.
I don’t care about some things the Democrats do but have they done anything that would compel me to vote Republican? No. I’ll still vote for Democrats and Democrat ideas as long as they better represent my ideals and interests.

I have absolutley no answer as to why so many woman want to represent this party, or continue to vote for this party. Other than, of course, the “I am holier than thou and therefore you will do as I say, no matter your own personal beliefs” argument. (Personally I would like to get the others in a room and yell WTF are you thinking!)
Some women voting and some women running for office DO NOT negate the push by the GOP on a state and national level to restrict how we take care of our own bodies.

In the “war on women,” there sure are a lot of double-agents!
They aren’t double agents, they’re conforming to a group that they identify with for whatever reason. There are Log Cabin Republicans too. Their need for inclusion trumps the obvious message from Republicans, who regularly equate gays with child molesters and goat rapists. I’m not surprised more women than gays wave the Republican flag against their own self-interest. More women stay in abusive relationships and generally act like doormats too because we’re expected to put others first and be supportive. Don’t rock the boat, share, use your inside voice, play nice….that’s what girls hear over and over. And no, I don’t know what happened to me, maybe I was born with clogged ears or something.
Anyway, when the Governor of Hawaii endures birther-footsie from her own party, essentially accusing her of colluding with a grand conspiracy, the proper term is not “double agent” it’s more like “clueless punching bag.”

Origin of the phony “Republican War on Women” — The Set Up: Obama administration comes out with a regulation requiring Catholic schools and organizations to provide complete birth control coverage for female employees. The Catholic Church says, no can do, that would be against our religious convictions and a violation by the state of our freedom of religion. The Straight Line: A future 1% member at Jesuit run and operated Georgetown Law comes, paying $30,000 to $50,000 per year in tuition decries the church’s position as unfair to women in general, and to her and her law school friends because they cannot afford to pay for their own contraception. The Punch Line: Blow hard, big mouth, ideologue Rush Limbaugh seizes upon the opportunity by wondering out loud just how much contraception really costs these days (it can’t really be that much can it?) and then opining in a completely unfounded, crude, and vulgar manner that this gal, and her friends, must be focused one heck of a lot more on having sex than studying law. Results: Manna from Heaven for Obama and the Dems. Thanks to blow hard comedian Limbaugh, the focus of the story turns from a Obama administration reg that clearly and unconstitutionally infringes on religious freedom and to this “poor” law student who Rush Limbaugh viciously and verbally assaulted, and all women who can’t afford contraceptives (whether they actually can or not being of no consequence now). Voila: the phony Republican War on Women was born, and the Dem/Libs missed a bullet on the freedom of religion question. Poltical smoke and mirrors, nothing more, nothing less.
And now to strike a blow for women in this phony war, a Dem PAC is running a TV ad with their idea of the American every woman, “Julia” starring. God help us if she is. Julia’s every need, from cradle to grave, will be met by the federal government whatever those needs may be, as long as the Dem/Libs are the elected majority. It’s enough to make you gag and vomit. How come NOW never protests or condemns those kinds of completely condescending, patronizing ads? Oh yeah. NOW disbanded, or left the planet, or something like that back when a Dem/Lib president got busted for having sex with a 20 year old female intern in the oval office. As all NOW members know, it is only sexual harrassment if the victims are Dem/Libs, or if the perps are Pub/Cons.

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. The antichoice group Americans United for Life tried to take credit for the trend, claiming that many of the measures were based on its model legislation for state lawmakers. The group described its work as “very much a military strategy…what we do is very much under the radar screen.”

“I believe the abortion debate isn’t about limiting a woman’s rights, but giving rights to the child the woman voluntarily created.”
Bingo. And the birth control debate isn’t about limiting woman’s rights, but about who pays for birth control. As long as I have had insurance, no drugs have EVER been free. But Dems demand free birth control for women, and claim it is a “war on women” to oppose free birth control paid for by other insurance ratepayers? WTH kind of logic is that?
In our family, we pay for birth control according to the drug schedule put forth by the insurance company. Why is it considered a “war on women” if I don’t want to pay for everyone else’s birth control as well?

“War on Women” narrative is risky business, as women are more and more out-performing men educationally and professionally and even, increasingly, becoming the breadwinners in the family.

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?

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.

You have put the tail on the donkey with that statement. The Dems think helping women in the country, can only be done by the big overstuffed inefficient government. Their happiness is government making their lives easy, and they willingly trade their freedom for security and financial support. They want a government that gives them free stuff, free birth control drugs, free job training, free time off work, free support for their children, free healthcare for their children, free legal help to file their discrimination complaints, and new laws giving them preferences in hiring and being promoted.
Conservatives see things differently, especially Republican women. We think the most important and essential thing that will help women is a thriving economy, low taxes, a strong national defense, and equal opportunity for all. Conservative women do not complain that they pay more to have their blouse laundered than men pay. They take on life as it is, not as some charlatan politician promises it can be. Many of the conservative women do not want the government to be in their life more than necessary. They want to spend time with their families and friends and be left alone to enjoy their freedom.

“iggy” is an *d*ot.
The “war” against women — an effort pursued by men since cave men, by force, took women from other cave men for purposes of sex — was well under way as the three majority religions of the world were formed. The men that formed those religions — wrote the “hearsay” words, edited and published the texts upon which they are based — made sure there were provisions in the religious dogma that could be interpreted that women should be subservient to men.
Most of the tyrants of this world have been men. Even today, in the more “primitive” mindset nations, men that yield to kings and clergy insist on controlling the women in their lives.
IF women actually launched this “war”–which I dispute–it has been a fight for freedom of women over tyranny by men. The FIRST battle was the first rape–and EVERY rape since has been a part of the battle.
It is the GOP that has been working to overturn “Roe v. Wade”–a case of involving the right of a raped woman to abort a child borne of rape. This was the first modern history battle in the “war” of men against women. It is, therefore, the GOP that is continuing the LEGAL aspects of the ancient and ongoing “rape” war of men against women started before human history–men fighting to control the “reproduction” ability and rights of women.
Women were not even considered the people that were free according to the US Constitution circa 1776–they could not vote or own property. Women did not get the right to vote in the USA until the twentieth century. Individual women’s battles and victories aside, the right to vote is, arguably, the first “battle” of the “war” that women, as a gender, have, here in the USA, actually “won”.

TI…
To the REAL issue:
Abortion is opposed because there are those that believe life is “sacrad” — in the religion sense — and that live begins prior to birth.
I’m waiting for the polititions that profess this belief to offer every retired person receiving Social Security a check for nine months back pay before I actually believe they sincerely believe this.
I’m also waiting for all those that profess this belief that “life is sacrad” to totally, irrevocably and in all circumstances to denounce the death penalty.
I’m also waiting for all those that profess this belief that “life is sacrad” to oppose war for any reason–to embrace “turn the other cheek” as was taught in Sunday School and Bible School.
I’m also waiting for those that believe “In God We Trust” and thou shall not kill to stop supporting the taxpayer purchasing of the most powerful military in the history of humanity. War kills more than combatants–it “murders” innocents.
Unless and until these “values voters” that profess to believe that “life is sacrad” do all the above, they are hypocrites.
A fetus is only “potential” life unless and until it can be born and survive without massive medical intervention–as was the time when the Bible was written–when Jesus was born as Mary’s child.
I, personally, believe that the USA must have a strong military to defend our freedom and that some people just “need killin”. I, however, am a non-believer. I do know that, while life is precious and has value, so does liberty; therefore, some lives being lost to preserve individual liberty for all the rest of us is a very reasonable price to pay. The loss of “potential” life is NOT more of a loss than the loss of the individual liberty of female half of the population.

Dusty, what just has happened in our exchange was a classical example of one of the things that are wrong with these discussions on the blog. People do not check what they have written, and when they are reminded, do not pay attention.
When you wrote “Obama has raised the national debt to three trillion,” I answered “If only that were true!” as a gentle reminder that you had not written what apparently you had in mind. The meaning of what you have written would be, naturally, that if the national debt were raised TO three trillion, it would now be three trillion. Therefore my “If only that were true!”
But instead of understanding that I did not attack what you wanted to write (that Obama has raised the national debt BY three trillion), only what you had actually written, you ignored that. And then the clown writing under the moniker LLB saw another reason to attack me, and made a fool of himself. Typical.

The difference between “liberal” and “progressive” is that “liberals” want stuff “free” (”there is no free lunch”) while “progressives” want abortion, birth control available and affordable–as in without all those tests and other legal impediments that make it take more time and cost more money.
The “conservatives” who have, to date, been unable to get Roe v. Wade overturned are just trying to put abortion out of the price range of most of the poor. Being somewhat cynical when it comes to conservative hypocrisy (see above comment), the moneyed investor class of the GOP leadership (that can affort to go abroad for and abortions) are a lot more interested in keeping competition for unskilled and semi-skilled jobs high to keep wages low. It is my belief that this is the same reason for the first “amnesty” and ongoing cowardice of the GOP — that had both houses of Congress and the White House for SEVEN

The “war” is not against “women” but against the individual liberty of women–women’s rights–it is a “war” if you believe men want to dominate women (even those libs and progressive men that do would not admit it but likely do); however, there definitely exists a “struggle” of independent minded women for individual liberty that has not yet been joined by the women in “your neck of the woods”–the “follower” class that follow one religion or another.

To some, the “struggle” seemed to be “won” by the right to vote. Roe v. Wade was an acknowledgment of individual liberty of women. Those that have “pursued” every effort to impede the right guaranteed by Roe v. Wade are making “war” on that right and, therefor, “war” against the rights of women.
There does NOT exist, to my knowledge, any effort to REQUIRE abortion. Most people would denounce such actions, even for the insane and/or addicted. It is NOT the women that insist on individual liberty that are making “war”.

Because of the US Supreme Court, I’m strongly leaning toward “holding my nose” and voting for the Dems this time because keeping the current fellow will likely be the only way to protect the core right guaranteed by Roe v Wade and the best chance to reverse the effects of the Citizens United ruling by the Roberts Court. The pr*ck Santorum candidacy has awakened the “thumpers” and the Dems are a better chance to keep some separation of church and state.

The circumstances were very different.
Hope springs eternal that Obama has learned something this last four years.

“pointing backwards”?
There is a “cause and effect” argument for any issue and “cause” is usually before effect; however, beyond that, I do not intend to point backward.
I do not accept the label “liberal”; I’m way too pro gun, among other things, for the libs to claim me. I am “progressive” on many issues, including some economic issues — I certainly oppose ALL bailouts, including those “homeowners” that “bought” more home than they could afford.
It is the “values voters” that want to go back to before Roe v. Wade.

We all know Kyle voted for Gingrich, the stupid person’s idea of what a smart person looks like, and he is the closest thing to an intellect among the conservatives here. You can bet that anytime one of them uses the word “fact” in one of their posts, they are either lying, or more frequently, just completely wrong, because like good little sheep, they believe the lies they have been told by their masters. Exposing them to concrete proof of their mistake does no good.

As far as I can tell, those that call the multitude of laws and proposed laws cited as being a part of the “war” on women’s individal liberty seems centered around reversing Roe v. Wade and/or making the right of abortion too costly humiliating difficult and time consuming an option to be a real option.
The issue of COST includes insurance related issues. The “war” on religion is, in my view, a seriously fake issue. The church war on individual liberty has always existed because the church is about defining what people can do and go to heaven and cannot do lest they go to hell.
There are only a few (Catholic) polititions ons that even hint they oppose the right to use/purchase contraception — that is likely not something that will ever really be an issue–at least not in my lifetime. Even most Catholic women overwhelmingly support that choice.

Sorry for not hanging around for your every words, ID, but the brush pile in the back yard called.
For someone who is allegedly “progressive” (a term used specifically by liberals because THAT term has been taken over by kooks), you sure do focus on manufactured issues.
Fact: There is a war against abortion on the right.
Fact: There is no war against women’s reproductive rights.
Fact: There is no concerted effort by the GOP to limit access to contraceptives, nor to make them more expensive than they already are.
Fact: The term “access”, much like “progressive”, has been hijacked by the left to mean “taxpayers need to help me get this” rather than “make this available to me”.
Fact: Anyone who claims that Romney hasn’t said what he would do if elected is either lazy or a liberal. Or both.

Having failed, to date, to overturn Roe v. Wade, those of the “values voters” ilk ARE trying to make it more difficult, time consuming and expensive to “choose” abortion as an option. If you are unaware of this, you have NOT been paying attention.
Requiring tests, waiting periods, counseling, etc. are all a part of this and there are laws and proposed laws popping up in most, if not all, states in this effort.
I would not have chosen the term “war” but I do understand what those that choose that term mean–all out political legal effort to impede the right to an abortion that, supposedly, has been a legal choice since Roe v. Wade.

If one law were proposed, that is an attack on women’s liberty. The ongoing effort every state to propose law after law after law is why the attack on this right is deemed, by some, to be a war.
Again, “war” an overused word, but that you are incapable of comprehending the “slipper slope” nature of it does not speak well of your common sense.

Requiring a waiting period is impeding the right to choose abortion because there are so few abortion providers it raises cost.
Requiring counseling when none is wanted does the same thing.
Requiring tests does the same thing.
Anything healthcare that could be accomplished in one visit but, because of some “values voters” law, cannot legally be accomplished in one visit can require an explanation to an employer as to what “proceedure” requires more than one visit. This can have a negative effect in numerous ways beyond co$t.
Raising the cost of an abortion is an impediment to abortion as an option and, in some instances, may well make it cost prohibitive–as I am reasonably certain it is intended to be.

“veer” off toward abortion?
Kyle’s actual subject (see last line) is the so-called “war” on women–the rest is preamble to his “conclusion” that there are traitors in the female ranks. I would not dispute that–a lot of women do walk around in a religious “follower” stupor.
Each law restricting the right of women to choose the option to have an abortion is another “bomb” lobbed in that “war”–again, not MY choice to name the effort. Kyle used the term “war on women” so I have acknowleged the effort using the words others, including Kyle, have used.
The first comment on this subject –tonight’s blog — said women lobbed the first bomb–the ERA. Bullsh*t. The first “modern” effort of some intelligent, freedom-loving women to fight back against the total domination of women by men was to win the right to vote. Not all women joined the fight then either; however, if there were an effort to REVERSE the right of women to vote, there would likely be more women taking up the cause.
There is no counter-attack — there is no effort to REQUIRE GOP women to have abortions. The effort to defend the individual liberty of women is clearly not being joined by all women but the effort to dismantle it with regard to reproductive rights clearly exists.
The “bombs” on contraception are (hopefully, at least) all duds.

I’m certainly not a socialist; work should be rewarded and sloth not; however, dollar$ to doughnut$ the janitors “work” harder than the CEO’s and the pay difference is often outrageous. In a company that is NOT public traded, I would be reluctant impose rules regarding CEO pay; however, there should certainly be no restrictions on labor organizing to get better pay either.
In publicly traded companies, with the failed banks that were bailed out as a prime example, there need to be some serious regs about those arbitrary bonuses and golden parachutes–shareholders need to have the right to directly decide such things AFTER than can determine if they are EARNED and shareholders should be able to directly determine basic compensation as well. As it is there seems to be some serious mutual palm greasing between the boards of directors and management to the detriment of other employees and shareholders alike.
Henry Ford wanted his employees to be able to afford to buy the products they made. In today’s corrupted “greed is good” form of capitalism the voice and needs of the many are ignored in favor of the wants and greed of the few.

After a smoldering, intense, unspoken exchange between the two, he can then throw a little ball at another assemblyman, who tries to hit the little ball with a stick. If the third assemblyman hits the little ball hard enough, he gets to run around a bit before jumping up and down in a tight group with more men clad in tight pants. Then they can slap each other’s bottoms. Firmly. Finally, they can all retreat to a 10 x 30 dark, partially hidden space and crowd together. Oh, and young boys will be kept on hand to periodically retrieve and handle the little sticks for the assemblymen.

–not that I’m a historian but I know enough to know Kahn was a barbarian.

I don’t think you are an expert in farm life. I doubt that you have ever set foot on a farm. Your opinions on farm life & farmers are about as informed as your views on Romney. They don’t amount to a rwo of pins.

Smitty: Kyles subject of the blog was the “war on women” and NOT the economy so you going on about the economy is YOU getting a little sidetracked.
But if you read above a bit, that has been addressed, too.
Blaming only the current president for this economy is like blaming a doctor for the expiration of a patient after another doctor had amputated all four limbs without any effort to stem the bleeding.

Of the forty (at one time) swine (sows and boars) none would eat rice cakes. One huge hog that temporarily escaped rubbed the trim and paint off the side of a car and another hated umbrellas and savaged mine.

Most men of Georgia that I know would lay down their life to protect women.
But you don’t believe in the goodness of individuals, do you? It is there but you cannot see it for running men down. Your narrow vision only belittles you.

Her vision is fine.
Maybe she believes what the bible says – “For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.”

Uh oh, I fear that ld is a very bitter woman. I guess it was that hog that ruined her umbrella that did it. Looks like Aquagirl is going to have some competition here in her “men are dirty dogs” contest..
But then cometh GOP Woman “tide” who picks up a hatecha comment obviously not from the New Testament. The fact that love in its finest sense is written in the New Testament over and over.
Too bad she forgot to read that part. It is the best of all things offered in this world and includes everybody. Some people are just easier to love than others. Not supposed to matter though.

I wish Kyle would open his mind and liberate his conscience from believing that his mission in life is to spread Republican propaganda more than it is to get people to think and to provoke meaningful discussion among people of all political stripes.
The chief designer at Chrysler is a black man. The CEO of Xerox is a black man. The President of the United States is a black man. The CEO of American Express is a black man. Are these people evidence that racism is extinct in America or are they, by liberal logic, mere double agents in the war against racist bigotry? Come on Kyle- we have a right to expect that you are not so dim!

And when you have an historic percentage of American women – topping Dole’s getting trounced by 16% – voting against Flip, how will you neocons spin that?

Yes, we are. And we’ll *all* be worse off if a Republican is elected President in 2012, or at any time in the foreseeable future for that matter, based on the no-tool players on their farm team that I’ve seen to date.

Funny how all you care about is killing an unborn child that you made voluntarily. This shows how shallow a democrat is, if you take away my right to kill babies I will never vote for a republican. If you truly think that the system is fixed you really need to get a grip on reality, put the bong down, turn off MSNBC, get away from the HuffingtonPuss.com, and go out into the real world for a change. If you believe the having 50% of the people getting government assistance is fixed, then I do believe that you need to move to Greece, all your commie friends are there.

Why do women want to join country clubs or sleep with their bosses. It is individual selfishness that fuels these people the same way it fuels Herman Cain. Palin is a perfect example. The Republican Party is where the rich hang out and the people used by the rich. Good money being a token.
