It appears that women are waking to the fact the the republican party really does have a war against

them. With the happening regarding Mourdock, and those republicans jumping to his defense, that so-called "moderate" double talk has now been exposed for what it is, bullshit

Too bad media you won't be able to whitewash this

I wonder how many of these men that are talking about womens bodies the way they are would feel if they were all forced to have vasectomies? I am just livid about this but also glad to see it all coming to light!

If we allow essential decisions about our health are stripped away from us aand put into the hands of misogynistic, religious zealots. I haven't seen such an assault on women's rights in my lifetime. I was in my late teens when Roe v. Wade became law so I remember hearing horror stories about back alley abortions and wire coat hangers. We CANNOT, WILL NOT go back to those brutal, dark times.

As of 1:30 pm, Fox News had not mentioned Richard Mourdock or the word “rape” in connection to Mourdock even once.
