Electing a woman doesn't guarantee you'll stop the war on women - you have elect the RIGHT women. Republican and T-Party women support the war on women!

pt 3 . We are well informed on what is going on inside our bodies, far more informed than a politician. Abortion is between a woman and her doctor. Men you cannot force a woman to grow a child for you just because you dumped your seed in her.
The country is facing so many pressing issues it amazes me Republicans are concerned with what goes on in a woman’s pants and how to get out of paying an equal wage.
So please tell me why a republican vote is a vote for women?

part2 On personal issues, Government doesn’t belong in my pants.
It is not the federal governments or the state government’s business if I choose to use birth control or what type of birth control I use. On February 16 the G.O.P. had hearings on birth control no women were allowed to testify. WOW no one is going to force you to use birth control if you don’t want it.
Isn’t there anything more important you guys could be doing like maybe bringing jobs back to the U.S?
I know this is educational snobbery but how about compiling all the Open Course Ware classes in one site and setting up a program to give credit for the core classes free of charge.
Why is a personal choice about birth control so important, to politicians? Worry about your own pants! I would not use religion to deny you care for an S.T.D, maybe I should. You might be more faithful if you knew your health insurance would not cover it!
When it comes to abortion no one has ever wanted an abortion it is a deeply emotional issue and if you haven’t hand an abortion then you have no idea how emotional of an issue it is. Some women have a life of regret and guilt over it; more women suffer for a short time recover and don’t regret it. No one ever likes making that decision, weather it is a wanted child an unwanted child or if life circumstances, change during the pregnancy. This is not a government issue. We are well informed on what is going on inside our bodies, far more info

Republican women wearing buttons that say votes for women.
Please help me to understand how a vote for a republican, is a vote for women?
Here is what I see, in Washington the pay check fairness act failed all with republicans voting no, except Lisa who didn’t vote. February 21st Republicans voted to repeal Wisconsin’s Equal Pay Act Republican presidential Candidate Rick Santorium statement on equal opportunity. “Radical feminists have been making the pitch that justice demands that men and women be given an equal opportunity to make it to the top in the workplace.” The basic requirements for survival food, water and shelter, food and shelter require a job.
Equal pay is not just about a working mother or a stay at home mom, it’s about all women. Some women have a choice to stay at home or work. Many women don’t have that choice. The actions taken by far too many republicans against equal pay for equal work is a direct assault on a woman’s ability to survive This is not about having a used car-v-new car, It’s about living under a roof or trying to survive under a bridge.
If family values are the issue well we don’t need to look much farther than our own senators and their family value examples. One just announced she was going to be married for a third time. The divorce rate in republican states is higher than it is in democrat states and most women have to work after a divorce.
On personal issues, Government doesn

I know what this war is all about it is all about, women who want to get abortions and they think they ave every right to take away a life. Just because it is inside of them. Let me to them something. It is not the man nor the women choice to take a life away, it is gods choice. to weather bring a baby or not. And this is not your body that these women say. It is your baby body their little bodies are inside of them, and it 's my body my choice that women say and claim
it is also another body in their too, who wants a chance in life. Women are not being fair to their growing children, children are blessings and that's what women are suppose to feel for their children. Not this it is disgusting and cruel to take your baby that loves you already and kill them. Now i respect women's rights okay, but this is top far and this i do NOT Support murdering. Sorry to offend women who believe in killing their children, but this is a disgusting not natural way a mother should feel for their baby,... And do to their babies And yes to answer you guys questions the moment the baby is conceived the baby is already alive why do you think they grow? Because they are alive. And i herd stories of women regretting getting abortions, It's gods choice not yours.
