And it is not just women. Men benefit from contraception as well. This issue has the potential to unleash a furious backlash. When people are mad they vote.

not quailified for such a conversation since apparently the vagina is owed by the males in the goppers' society.

are not to be seen and heard from. To the thugs, they are second class citizens who do not even have a right to determine their own destinies and the destiny of their bodies.

What gets me are the conservative women's groups/politicians who are more than eager to throw women under the bus so that they can get a pat on the head for being "good little girls" for the men who are daily trying to strip women of their rights. Actually, it sickens me that there are women eager to do this.

have been brainwashed for a very long time. like most of the women in my family. I am the only progressive and they pray for me every day! lol

They are taught to walk softly and carry lipstick. Well, I walk softly and carry a big stick.! Certainly as you stated, they need the approval of men who it seems, must make all the important decisions for them, including what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. We struggled for Roe v Wade, and I hate to see us regressing to the "dark ages".

Damn!

How is it any less "unconstitutional" to make laws based on religious tenets and/or the canon law of any number of religions? They yell and scream when someone introduces even the hint of Sharia law, but how is this crap any different? 'Cause that's the effect and practice of what most of these new "personhood" amendments are about.

Let's push this even further Repubs... push it even further... maybe get rid of mammograms or maternity leave or something... That should work.

Not only will they not get votes, but they won't get anything else either.

"Not tonight dear. I don't want a baby and you think contraception is a sin."

Men legislating control over women's bodies.

or your sister's, or your daughter's, or your spouses.

This is strictly a good ol' boys club.

These a-holes are disgusting and their "kept" women are just as gross.

No difference:

I shouldn't have to explain that to anyone, ESPECIALLY religious people.

on this issue in different regions.

We should start keeping track of the anti-union, anti-blue collar, anti-womens rights legislation coming from those states since the start of the Koch Bros move on US gov't.

Diehl pointed out that several women on both sides of the aisle got a chance to speak before the debate was ended. Overall, he said, more Democrats were recognized to speak than Republicans.
