		<description><![CDATA[When Republicans stood in unison against renewing the Violence Against Women Act last year and early into this year, their main justification was that the bill was simply too bloated&#8211;it tried to do too much to help too many people who just didn&#8217;t really need the help. I&#8217;m curious where they got their information, because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple (R) had a busy day, Tuesday signing into law a package of abortion restrictions that makes North Dakota the most women&#8217;s rights-hostile state in the nation. Among the restrictions signed into law is the earliest and most extreme abortion ban in the country—making virtually all abortions in the state illegal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;d never know it from the way they&#8217;ve been legislating, but Republicans are apparently in a state of reflection. Knowing they lost the 2012 election badly, and with an eye toward the future, RNC leaders released a self-critique of the party they described as existing in an &#8220;ideological cul-de-sac&#8221; and in need of a new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under Gov. Rick Perry&#8217;s direction, Texas Republicans have done a pretty outstanding job making it almost impossible for low income women in their state to access affordable reproductive health care. First they shut down the state&#8217;s popular and effective Women&#8217;s Health Program, kicking over 100,000 women off their insurance all as a way to defund [...]]]></description>

Harry Reid (D-NV) sleep through the entire first Obama term, because something has to explain why he believed Senate Republicans when they promised not to filibuster presidential nominees just for the heck of it. Shortly after the November 2012 election Reid had an opportunity to reform the filibuster but balked, instead believing Senate [...]]]></description>

Those efforts include standing with the likes of Iran to resist tougher global standards to prevent violence against women and children. I [...]]]></description>

The evidence has been mounting for some time that the administration wants to deal differently with the issue, even as raids on medicinal clinics and suppliers continue. A recent interview with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) adds to the evidence that the days of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does a hard-right state legislature do after passing the most restrictive abortion law in the country? It goes after family planning programs, naturally. It&#8217;s not called the &#8220;forced birth&#8221; movement for nothing. Arkansas State Sen. Jason Rapert, the Tea Party brains behind the 12-week ban just passed by the Arkansas legislature, is now proposing [...]]]></description>
