<<Please explain to me what the term "war on women" means. I dont understand.>> Starting two years ago the number of state bills limiting womens access to certain contraceptives, defunding planned parenthood, requiring things like ultra sounds before abortion, harrassing abortion clinics, etc just sky rocketed. All done by the Republican party. I have see the graph and it goes straight up. Romney himself said he would only allow abortion for rape and incest and he was condiered a moderate.. In Virgina and other states they require invasive ultra sound and even wanted the women to look at the fetus. In Mississippi they had a personhood amendment that was really nuts and it failed, but the pubs were pushing it. Imagine how radical it had to be to fail in Mississippi. Women are watching all of this horrified. Women consider this a war on their rights by old white men. Remember Issa had a committee meeting on contraception and not one woman was allowed to be there. Women consider this a war on women and why Obama waxed Romney with women. Now you may not feel that way, but if you are a male you have no say as far as most women are concerned. Look at the new pub house committee charimanships. Every single one went to a man. In the dem party women hold tremendous power. Look how many more women are dems than pubs in congress: womenincongress.house.gov How is that?
