The Republicans hate women. Misogyny is a FEATURE, not a bug, and has been for 30 years.

Now they're after contraception. Why is anyone surprised? This has been a target for the religious right/hardcore fetus fetishers since at least the late 80s.

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/02/how-the-gop-went-back-to-the-1950s-in-just-one-day.php This says it all.

The State of Virginia and Oklahoma passed Personhood Amendments. Hello, jail time for miscarriages! Oh, wait, we already have that. http://rt.com/usa/news/women-shuai-pregnant-life/

Virginia also made it mandatory to rape a woman who is seeking an abortion, by forcing her into a transvaginal ultrasound, whether she wants one or not.

One of the main candidates for office is anti-contraception, anti-abortion, anti-medicaid, anti-food assistance, and anti-public education. WTF kind of country does he think we will get out of those positions? Dead women, medically fragile babies, malnourished, intellectually and physically stunted children who grow to be unemployable adults. Is that the future YOU want for America?

But notice, even conservative women, the kind who are happy to make laws for OTHER women (aka those sluts), are being slut-shamed for their choices of clothing at CPAC.

Some conservative commentators have even called for a repeal of our right to vote.

Wake up Aunt Lydia! Wake up, you colluders, you fifth columnists to your own freedom!
98% of you will use birth control, about half for reasons NOT related to fertility.
40% of you will have abortions. But it's okay if you're Republican
And most of you will miscarry, some at stages so early you'll never even know you were pregnant.

Let's be blunt, the dems use women's rights as a bargaining chip. The repubs have decided to double down on taking them ALL away.

“How long does a man lie in the earth ere he rot? Three years and more.” The misquoted Hamlet made him feel even smaller. Tonight, seven hundred million people were trying to find a new way to live. Nobody was teaching a Shakespeare seminar. Nobody was performing the Bard anywhere. Even I Love Lucy reruns were off the air as the power systems and cities died.
