1. Great. That means it is a losing side to be on.

2. Well said, thank you.

For once the blame is put squarely where it belongs... REPUBLICAN men.

3. Well thank goodness that 'republican men' are a minority in The USA :)

I can not stress the importance of electing MORE FEMALES to Congress.
Even in the cases when we are unable to get a Democratic woman elected to a seat, a Republican woman is better than a Republican man,
as far as Women's Rights/Issue are concerned.

8. not necessarily

Think Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. There are many GOP elected women who are every bit as deranged as their male counter parts.

4. It's time for them to reconsider contraception

Because they're so fucked.

5. Well look at the GOP Men number

They only oppose by a 52-44 margin...a difference of 8 points. So not even overwhelming.

6. "I shouldn't have to pay for birth control for your slutty daughters."

That's what a guy on a message board that my husband frequents told
him yesterday.

My husband had been telling him about how Planned Parenthood was
helpful and available to our college age daughters when they were
far from home and unable to get an appointment with local OBGYN's...

The idiot ended up apologizing, but jeebus, what a jerk!

I would have told him that I'd rather pay for birth control than for
the care and feeding of the slack jawed-offspring resulting from his abstinence only teen-
pregnant relatives in Indiana.

7. Birds of a feather. n/t

9. Hard to believe the right wants this battle.

But they are going to get it.
