Romney Would Reinstate Gag Rule, Leave Dirty Work of Stripping Women’s Rights to Congress
“Mitt Romney is proudly pro-life, and he will be a pro-life president.” – Andrea Saul, Romney press secretary THIS IS a thing of beauty. It also has a ring of truth to it.

It was all the people who have faithfully knocked doors, made calls, and made sacrificial contributions to elect Republicans because we thought we were welcome in the party. – Mike Huckabee ANTI-WOMEN CONTROL freaks evidently don’t understand [...]
In Honor the the GOP Platform, It’s Back to the ’80s
AKIN: You know, Dr. Willke has just released a statement and part of his letter, I think he just stated it very clearly. He said, of course Akin never used the word legitimate to refer to the rapist, but to false claims like those made in Roe v. Wade and I think that simplifies it….. [...]

Fed to Mitch Daniels: You’re An Idiot
A RESTRICTIVE LAW signed by Gov. Mitch Daniels has been declared illegal. It discriminated against poor women, because they don’t vote and it’s the easiest demographic to push around.

Rand Paul Is Not Libertarian, He’s Not Even Conservative
“FETAL PERSONHOOD” being considered over a woman’s own personal freedom is not a libertarian idea. It’s not even a conservative idea. In fact, when women like myself say Do Not Tread On Me, it may be a civil rights and privacy notion, but it also used to be a conservative one as well. What is [...]
