Seems like all the R's are part of the He-Man Woman Haters Club (including their female members, unfortunately).

Paul Ryan is trying to stick his religiosity in our lady parts again
January 9, 2013
By Anomaly

Paul Ryan is again cosponsoring the highly unpopular Sanctity of Life Act and make no mistake about it, when he first started his personhood venture, it contained wording which would make it illegal for a woman to have an abortion even if her life was at risk. Eggs are more important that life itself, apparently. Corporations are people, my friend, and zygotes are life from the moment of fertilization, according to Paul Ryan. Welcome to 2013, where we prove that evolution has skipped over a few people, likely the ones that slept through biology class.


Huffington Post reports:

Ryan, who reportedly has 2016 presidential ambitions, had to de-emphasize his opposition to abortion without exceptions during the 2012 election to align his position with presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But this year, Ryan has been tapped as a keynote speaker for the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List’s sixth annual Campaign for Life Gala, and he is re-upping his support for the most extreme anti-abortion legislation in the country.

Read this part carefully:

The personhood bill, first introduced in 2011 by Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) and reintroduced by Broun last week, specifies that a “one-celled human embryo,” even before it implants in the uterus to create a pregnancy, should be granted “all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood.” Similar legislation has been rejected by voters in multiple states, including the socially conservative Mississippi, because legal experts have pointed out that it could outlaw some forms of birth control and in vitro fertilization as well as criminalize abortion at all stages.

Broun said in a statement that a zygote’s right to life should be “defended vigorously and at all costs.”

“As a physician, I know that human life begins with fertilization, and I remain committed to ending abortion in all stages of pregnancy,” he said. “I will continue to fight this atrocity on behalf of the unborn, and I hope my colleagues will support me in doing so.”


As reported here, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) spoke at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman’s Banquet in Georgia stating that embryology, evolution, and the Big Bang theory were “lies straight from the pit of Hell.” Broun’s whacked out theory, went viral via YouTube.

And, Ryan’s bill is cosponsored with Paul ‘Pits of hell’ Broun. Think about that for a moment.

The list of GOP attacks in their war on women grows ever longer:
• Slash public sector jobs, most of which are held by women.
• Refuse to pass the Violence Against Women Act.
• Oppose the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
• Attack women’s reproductive rights
• Defund Planned Parenthood
• Oppose health care coverage for contraceptives under the Affordable Care Act
• Attempt to prohibit federal funding for hospitals teaching abortion procedures
• Introduce the Respect the Rights of Conscience Act allowing health care providers and pharmacists to deny birth control based on their own conscience,
• Introduce, at the state level, almost 1,000 bills restricting abortion in some way last year alone.
ETC. . . ETC. . . ETC.

Adding, if none of the aforementioned doesn’t pass: wash, rinse, repeat. Why are Republicans so obsessed with our reproductive rights? It’s religiosity and said religion should not mix with politics. It’s a Constitutional thing! Take it up with our founding fathers, but stay the hell out of our lady parts.

Wow.
They lost their shovel in the recent elections but hey, no problem.
Keep digging that hole with your bare hands.

I read somewhere that 2012 produced the MOST EVER bills restricting women and women's rights across the spectrum ~ Paul Broun, who is an MD, declared that Michelle Obama promoting eating more fruits and veggies in schools is an invasion of personal privacy ~ Broun is the same kind of "doc" that Bill Frist proved himself to be when Frist diagnosed Terri Schiavo from a video clip, countering the diagnosis of her real "there in person" doctors ~ both Broun and Frist misused and abused their credentials for political gain ~

In my view, doubling down on the "war on women" proves the GOP/TP is too male-egocentric to recognize that most women will not vote against their own interests ~ they simply reject reality ~

Sooz

Is gopqed too embarrassed to make any comments now?

The problem is not enough GOP women are speaking up against this garbage. I would love to see a mass exodus of Republican women from the party but I won't hold my breath.

Maybe they're afraid their men will beat the shyte out of them if they do.

Republican women like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Ann Romney, Nikki Haley? Right, never see it.

Of course not.
It's done in private.
I'd wager that the majority of battered women have partners with CONservative leanings.

I was kind of hoping there were a few in there who still had functioning brains and weren't drinking the GOP/TP/fundie Koolaid.

We did read in an earlier thread that Republican identification among the general populace has slumped since this previous campaign season. We know that Obama did well among women in the election, and Romney did not. I think we may be seeing those functioning brains at work.
