    Default GOP and women's rights in America.

    Are the Republicans/conservatives conducting a legislative "war on women"? You Bet'cha!

    Plenty of deaf ears for this news to fall on here.

    As the old saying goes the Republican Party's true colors are showing but many are blind.

    What's "silly" is the GOP perpetuating the LIE of "government funding" of abortion! I defy any new conservative, Tea Party or Libertarian member/pundit to provide the EXACT proof where your tax dollars are being used by the Federal gov't to "fund abortion".

    Meanwhile, READ the contents of the link, and then try and deny the "war on women".....the conservative/right wingnut attempts to control women sans their Constitutional rights (i.e., recent Arizona law).

    ???? I didnt say anything about "Federal" funding and quite clearly said "opposition to government funding". And the first example that comes to mind would be the first example in "the contents of the link", specifically the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act"

    And your point? Because the "war on women" is taking place via efforts to use the gov't to invade women's ability to choose their medical procedures and how the control their own bodies.

    I mean, Jeezus! What's next, Arizona legislating vaginal surveillance cameras?

    but with the aid of msm they will be able to convince a portion of the marrow-minded idiots..

    that are gullible to believe any bullshit that nurtures their preconceived bigotry.....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    What's silly is your either intended or unintended mischaracterization of the situation. Let's quickly break it down:

    The "pro-life" advocates screamed bloody murder about any of their tax dollars funding abortions on any level. So as it stands, your federal gov't goes to great lengths NOT to do so.

    http://mediamatters.org/research/201104080015

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...032403128.html

    Not satisfied, the pro-life folk are now using local gov't to enforce their personal ideology and beliefs on others regarding an individual woman's right to private determination of treatment between herself and her doctor ... example being Arizona's recent actions in this venue.

    As reality shows, the gov't didn't fail to do it's job....it's fanatical religious/right wing idealogues who are using local gov't to circumnavigate the rules and regulations. In effect, they are declaring a war on women's rights as deemed by our gov't.

    For you to repeat your assertion just flies in the face of reality.

    Pinheads will continue to lie about anything and everything in order to score a political point....

    ALL RIGHTS, womens rights......as well as mens rights, are given to us by the Constitution.....NOT Democrats and NOT Republicans.....

    and only fool and idiots imagine otherwise.

    Once again, our intellectually impotent neocon barfly wails a MOOT POINT that no one has disputed on this thread. "Bravo" indeed!

    well if the leftwingnut media matters proclaims it to be true, it must be.
    Quote from Cypress:
    "Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
