What the DOP is doing is not a joke. They will have passed a lot of draconian legislation by the time they are stopped. There is a blitzkrieg of legislation and initiatives in the pipeline that will likely pass. It will complicate if not end a woman's to control her own health care.

The new department could really happen. Sanitorum is just part of it . This disease infects the entire GOP. They are determined to set these new laws in concrete before they are defeated.

The defeat of the GOP is not a given. Because they have done so much to fix the elections coming up already, it may be difficult to erase the agenda they will likely pass before November.

Why women are on just confronting them personally I do not know. Standing aside and not counter attacking really is not an option now. Women need to take a politically open fisted stance on issues that will effect them and their offspring. The GOP is convinced that they are invincible because no one will openly challenge them.

Even though I support strong action against the GOP and religious right as a man, women have to challenge these raping assaults on them. Otherwise the "coat hanger" party will strip away everything that women have achieved since they got the right to vote.

Dr. Freeze will supply aspirin tablets for all of you, so you shouldn't worry your sweet pretty little heads about healthcare, no sirree! Just keep those knees together and no worries, hunny bunnies. Now get on back home and your menfolk will chain you to the kitchen sink again.
