War On Women Will Become An Open Fight

"Boner Bonehead" just declared total war on women. His code is that the GOP will end abortion and make it a thing of the past.
Young women must know that the GOP has doubled down on their efforts to make sure that women will lose all choice over the control of their health and their bodies.

The New Mexico law about forcing women to complete a pregnancy caused by rape and making them felons if they choose to abort should be like a "five alarm fire" for women who want to keep their freedom. Even though the legislator proposing such law has supposedly backed off it is a godamned lie. There is no clarification because that result is what they exactly intend.

The new rhetoric of the new branding of the GOP now being designed will make "rape" seem sweet. They are like the deadly charm of the serial killer Ted Bundy. They will disarm women while they royally screw them.

The "Boner" code is that even legal contraception will be a thing of the past because the fundynutzie religious freaks have now equated any contraception as equal to abortion.

Sorry ladies this new GOP will not go away unless it is driven away. They will just go more underground and be more stealthy.

Look at all the women's health care clinics these thugs plan to close or refund.

they better think again.

Young women don't know any different from the freedoms they have now with their bodies. They are seeing what used to be. The mindset that used to be.

This will be a fight to the bitter end. To force a raped girl to stay pregnant to preserve evidence? As if she is a test tube and not a human being? NO! NO! NO! That offends every fiber of my being. It is revolting, disgusting, backwards, and cruel. I will not stand by quietly and let this happen w/o a fight.

If you protest in Wisconsin you are assaulted by the state police and arrested. And if you open your mouth on the capitol grounds in Virginia you are assaulted and arrested by the state police. In Virginia you are in the vaginal probe state. And they also want to take away your vote with gerrymandering. In Wisconsin Walker wants to make abortion illegal.

The GOP has declared open war on everything now that they have lost. And they are really PISSED now.

In my 69 years I never thought I would see women's rights being assaulted in so many ways.

I do not understand why women are not going after these thugs with a vengeance.

I don't either. The complacency of never having lived in a time when safe abortion and contraception wasn't available has set in. Women are in for a very rude and deadly awakening if they don't get off their dead asses and fight this. NOW. There is no time to dawdle.

hands. And we must learn how to use herbs and other natural substances in our own defense.

Oppression will only get these freaks just so far. We will always have hemlock.

Those who seek to strip us of our careers and independence and very freedom and enslave us in the kitchen would do well to remember this.

The constitution to diminish whatever rights they can.

Thus they recognize the slippery slope.

Women should be protected from this under the 13th amendment. Better get organized and start fighting it on those grounds or every woman's life becomes The Handmaid's Tale.

Mississippi has none. Most red states have almost none.

This is a complete abrogation of Roe v. Wade for poor women.

Having been raised in a deep southern rural area, until the age of 8, then moving to a supposed big city nearby of about 50,000, I can see why they vote mainly Republican.

But I think that many women who live in those areas would vote against attempts to take away women's rights to contraception and abortion (in some circumstances). They might not tell their husbands they voted Democratic, but they just might do it. If not for themselves, then for their daughters.

The small, rural areas have their share of girls who get pregnant...and guys who get girls pregnant. There are plenty there who are uber religious and truly are pro life; they'll always vote Republican. But I can't help but think that many women, and some men, would secretly vote to protect women's reproductive rights. IF that issue wasn't trumped by some other issue that they find abhorrent in the Democratic Party platform.

I have no doubt about it.

If they were able to challenge the entrenched male power structure to secure the right to vote then they can do anything.

only 3% of their services. They do 3x as many vasectomies. If planned parenthood gets shut down they will lose their ability to do breast cancer and cervical cancer. PP is the source for morning after, birth control, STD screenings and so many more things. Please keep your eye on the ball. I'm hoping they don't try to negotiaite de-funding PP as a way to drop the anti-abortin bill. I've donated to PP and Emily's List.
