2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWe must do all we can to fight back against the Republican's 'War on Women'
I am sick and tired of all of these Republican MEN spouting off about what they think women should and should not be allowed to do with our own bodies.
It is way past time to elect more WOMEN to Congress!
We women comprise 50% of the U.S. population and we are not being represented sufficiently on women's issues.
As of 2012, only 17 of the 100 U.S.Senators are women (17%)
As of 2012, only 76 of the 435 U.S. House Representatives are women (16.6%)
We need a national uprising in order to kick all the Republicans OUT-of-Office and elect Democrats and WOMEN
At the national, state, and local levels.
And another thing that pisses me off about the Republicans: If the Republicans were actually concerned about lowering the abortion rates in The USA then they would not be so opposed to providing women with low-cost birth control. Contraception and sex education equals less abortions.
We ALL need to say NO to the Republican's agenda to pass legislation which would restrict abortion access, low-cost contraception access - and there must absolutely be NO more legislation mandating unnecessary sonograms/ultrasounds and invasive trans-vaginal-ultrasounds!
I know that I am preaching to the choir, but thank you for listening anyway

I see bumper stickers "women for Mitt" and that confuses the hell out of me. I guess Stepford wives was not that far-fetched after all.

Abortion IS OKAY when it's for your mistress.

women's full autonomy (meaning, no michelle bachmanns, virginia foxx, jean schmidt, etc)
