I always know when women are singled out in the legislative process that the debate will be:

1] Divisive and derogatory.

2] We will be singled out as a single issue that can be discarded for the 'better' good.

3] Being (women) immoral some form of higher patriarchal morality will be used against us.

4] Being poor, poor you.

In this respect yesterdays despicable show in the House did not dissapoint.

2. Hopefully when the House and Senate versions of HRC are resolved the
"Stupid" Amendment could be over-ruled.

justifying it.
