Is the alleged GOP's war on women a false liberal boogeyman?

ANDERSON COOPER BLASTS MOVEON.ORG SPOKESMAN FOR DECEPTIVE AD REGARDING GOP AND WOMEN’S HEALTH

While the mainstream media may be spending Friday fretting over Anderson Cooper’s remarks regarding conservative shock-jock Rush Limbaugh’s weight, the CNN host also got in a spat with a MoveOn.org spokesman during AC 360 Thursday, slamming the organization‘s continued campaign to portray a GOP war on women’s health.

To give a little background, House Republicans have faced continued criticism from Democrats for extending low interest rates for student loans last week, which is paid for by cuts to prevention initiatives in the president’s health care law that opponents allege is furthering “an assault on women’s health.” When scanning over the HHS website that lays out what’s in the now eliminated Prevention and Public Health Fund, nothing can be found in the fund that is specifically aimed at women aside from $7 million for breastfeeding. Despite this, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said last week of the GOP plan to extend the loans:

“In order to pay for it, [House Republicans] are going to make an assault on women’s health, make another assault on women’s health,continue our assault on women’s health and pay for this with prevention initiatives that are in effect right now for childhood immunization; for screening for breast cancer, for cervical cancer; and for initiatives to reduce birth defects – a large part of what the Center for Disease Control does in terms of prevention.”

Given the facts, the Washington Post Fact Checker blog awarded Pelosi’s statement Two Pinocchios and FactCheck.org of The Annenberg Public Policy Center has said The White House is greatly exaggerating when it says that “women, in particular,” will benefit from the fund set for elimination.

...

“You only seem to be targeting Republicans because it meets your political agenda,” Cooper accused.

Thats quite commendable of Anderson Cooper.......I'm actually surprised he spoke up......a little honesty from CNN is a good thing.....

Whats really telling is the utter lack of any like response from any of the other major media people exposing the lies of Pelosi and Media Matters.....

Pinheads on this site just suck up the shit put out by MM without question.......

[PostmodernProphet]

wow....if Annenberg admits that something from the left might be "exaggerated" you know it's off the deep end.......

The rightwing war on women is real regardless what AC Cooper or anyone else says. Recent concentrations of legislation stripping women of certain rights, demanding certain unnecessary procedures be performed on them, refusing adequate heath care coverage, etc. can be called nothing less than a war on women. Every single credible poll indicates that an overwhelming majority of women believe so and millions of men also believe so. We'll see how this all works out but right now it doesn't seem to be looking very good for the war makers.
