New Republican Senate to start chipping away at women's reproductive rights?

In the words of the right-wing goddess Palin, "You Betcha!"

I am so god damned pissed off about this election! I just hope everyone watches what they do and wakes up for 2016.

Womens right are safe for the next two years. People will not stand for constant bills restricting womans rights. I say let them pass them, poeple need to see first hand what these extremists are about.

These election results scare the hell out of me.

I guess all we can do is educate and inform as many as we can for 2016.

And protest. Let's be very visible and loud about our anger over the racist/sexist/big business Republican agenda.

Thank you, Kath! Not so Yawning for the rest of us who carry the burden for that, Climate Change, and the stifling of Elizabeth Warren in the Senate.

no longer extant in this country and haven't been for several years. It's called TARP and its been wildly successful. Women's reproductive rights have been shrunk to practically nothing. And it's been done on the state level.
