Left continues it's war on women

by Tim Finnegan

Jan 19, 2017

Now, I am no more of a fan of Hillary than I am of Donald. But the Women's March on Washington is sinking to a new low in a war on women. Their guiding values and principles lost specific women that the march for, and of course add the obligatory "and many more." You would think that the first female presidential nominee of a major party would merit a mention and not relegation to "many more" status.

You'd be wrong. Please go sign the petition to have this wrong righted and help add Hillary to that list.

T.E.C. - Iowa Tim needs to understand that people running whatever March are free to make their own list. I, for one, would not add Hillary to the list. Her shameful rigging of the Democratic primary and its corruption of our democratic process should be met with the same outrage that some are currently heaping on Russia.

Beyond that, Tim's "projection" of Republican traits onto the Democrats is tiring and pointless. Tim writes that the "Left continues it's war on women" as if it is the Republicans that support women's rights.

Maybe Tim should explain why it is that Republicans refuse to see birth control as a medication that helps women avoid pregnancies they don’t want and can’t afford, and refuse to let these women make their own decisions.

Instead you get ideas like this from Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (quote), "If Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, so be it!"

Talk about a view of women that is disgustingly bad!!!!!

Then we move on to "women's health care." Tim should explain why it is that Republicans, with their closing of Planned Parenthood, would rather see women have no health care at all if that health care has anything to do with abortions.

Plus, maybe Tim should explain "the outrageous comment by Missouri Republican senate candidate Todd Akin about how victims of “legitimate rape” very rarely get pregnant and Maine representative Lawrence Lockman’s repugnant suggestion that if abortion is legal, rape should be too."

Moving on, maybe Tim should explain why Republicans opposed the "Paycheck Fairness Act" which "would have made it illegal for employers to retaliate against workers who talk about their salaries with their coworkers and required the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to collect pay information from employers."

If Tim needs more the issues of paid maternal leave, child care tax credits, and more could be added to the discussion.
