GOP's War on Women

Republicans are trying to destroy the middle class, women are the keepers and holders of families if you can denigrate them and keep them under control the best way to do this is by stepping on women and call it something else. At every turn they are working at all levels to achieve their stated mission they are changing the legal term of being a victim now they want to call them accuser. But get this, they want to continue calling others who have encountered a dangerous crime a victims. Does this make any sense to anyone or have these guys and gals all have lost their ever loving minds?

It get better, there are at least one state where Republicans legislators has proposed a new bill that makes it legal to kill a doctor who provides abortion services. There are plenty of people who disagree with aborting the life of the unborn but never in a million years would they ever condom murdering a doctor for participating in this horrific act. They still believe in the laws of the land Roe V Wade Republicans think Roe V Wade should be overturned.

Here is more another example of law making; Republicans have voted to cut almost a billion dollars from aid to low-income pregnant women, babies, mother and kids. Have they offered any solution to this problems, I am sure they are some who have ideas but will never be forthcoming with those ideas because if they did they would be ostrich size for their ideas.  I am going to go on records of stating that some of these births should never have happened. If you want to reduce the budget for feeding those less fortunate than yourself you must get out in front of this with some kind of birth control. There is house resolution main objective is to eliminate support of Title X, the federal planning program for low income women. The federal family programs that provide birth control, breast, cervical cancer screening, H.I.V. testing and other sexually transmitted diseases. This law will surely increase the number of women who will meet their demise. A leading authority on reproductive health says a rise in unintended pregnancies would result in some 400,000 more abortions a year. I thought the goal was to stop abortion not to increase it but as you can tell by the numbers the opposite result will occur more abortions not less. 

I can’t believe this but it just keeps getting worse, Republicans in the US Congress are advocating with a bill that hospitals allow woman to die rather than perform a life saving abortion to save the woman life. I have always been of the opinion that if I had ever been faced with this choice to save my wife life or save the kid live to me this is a no brainer for me my decision will always be with the mother. If I have a new born baby without its birth mother my wife, how am I going to move forward with the most important person on our team. If she is gone and I have to earn an income to support this new born it would be extremely difficult without the birth mother and my wife being available to take care of the baby.

Here is another cockamamie idea; Republicans in the great state of Maryland have ended the county money for low income kid’s preschool program. Listen to the reason they have given. Republicans believe women should really be home with the kids, not out working. Ok that sound great, but in the real world things are just a bit different than what these right wing Republicans think. Children are not exempt from the GOP wrath right now; a Republican lawmaker in Missouri has proposed a bill eliminating the prohibition on employment of children under 14. State Senator (R) Jane Cunningham from district 7 defends the bill, saying that it’s important to cultivate a work ethic in young people. It seems to me that parents can give their young children jobs around their home that will keep them gainful employed and teach them about a work ethic. Republicans are even working on repealing minimum wage laws. Nevada and Missouri are the state’s leading this charge.

The Republicans at the federal level are engaged in the same folly not only do they want to cut the same program but they are raising the stakes. Head Start has been added to the Republicans hit list with a cut of 1 billion dollars. What does this mean to real people on the ground about 200,000 thousand kids could lose their spots in this preschools program. Women, Infants and children better known as WIC, this program serve 9.6. million low-income women, new mothers and infants each month.

So far the Republicans have been aiming at women and children but they can’t stop there they want to include their grandmothers and grandfathers. Two third of the elderly are poor women because they live longer than their men. Republicans are trying to cut funding for employment services, meals and housing for senior citizens.

You thought you have read enough about these mean right wing Republicans well read this; Congress has just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers.  This is one of the most important basic health care and family planning in the US.  

So far this isn’t nearly enough they must add this to cap off their move to become the most hated people in the United States. Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funding for the only federal family planning program for humans. Congressman Dan Burton Republican, Indiana 5th District has a bill to provide contraception for wild horse. Republican thinks more of wild horses than they do of people; I have concluded from this example is Republicans think more of their horses than they do of the people who they represent. They only need you when they come by to shake your hand, kiss a few babies and reassure you they are one of us. All they are looking for your vote and nothing else.
