Dems decry all-male House panel on WH contraception rule

[Swede]

As the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee began a hearing Thursday morning on the Obama administration's rule mandating free contraceptive care for employees at religiously-affiliated institutions, New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney had a question for the panel: "Where are the women?" she asked.



"I look at this panel, and I don't one single individual representing the tens of millions of women across the country who want and need insurance coverage for basic preventive health care services, including family planning," Maloney said. "Where are the women?"


The hearing, entitled "Lines crossed: Separation of church and state. Has the Obama administration trampled on freedom of religion and freedom of conscience?" aimed to address the White House's ruling on contraception, and whether or not that rule infringes on religious liberty.

behind a desk I simply assume they are defendants.

2. I would think it's more than Democrats decrying it. Any one in their

right mind would decry it.

Mmmmmm, probably not.

Panel stacking... what a surprise by Republicans. They are desperately trying everything they can to maintain control.
