Georgia Democratic Rep. Yasmin Neal Seeks State Ban on Vasectomies
Tit for tat As the War on Women marches inexorably onward, Democrats are starting to fight back— cheekily. In Virginia, state Senator Janet Howell attached a “rectal probe” amendment to the Virginia State-Sanctioned Rape bill. The amendment would have required men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication. [...]

Shorter Indiana Rep. Bob Morris (R-Dipshit): Girl Scouts Turn Girls into Whores and Lesbians [updated]
First they came for the thin mints… This is preposterous: INDIANAPOLIS – A Fort Wayne lawmaker’s rant against the Girl Scouts went viral Monday after he called them a “radicalized organization” that supports abortion and promotes “homosexual lifestyles.” Rep. Bob Morris, R-Fort Wayne, sent a letter to Indiana House Republicans on Saturday explaining why he [...]

Marry, Marry, Why Ya Buggin’?
The NY Times has a very interesting article this morning on the socioeconomics of women and child-bearing. It states that evidence (that goes along with women having children later in life now) points to women under the age of 30 who do have children are now more likely to have them outside of marriage rather [...]

I Would Do Anything For Love, But I Won’t Douthat
As many of you know, I am a very agnostic person. I don’t know if a god exists, ever existed, or ever will exist, and neither do any of the Churches. Those of you who disagree with me are free to do so, and good on you for it. What I’m all about is the [...]

Where Are The Republican Women On This?
And expanding on what Betty said below, I’m asking out of genuine curiosity the about the opinions when it comes to Republican women and the birth control brouhaha. Short of The Distinguished Ladies From Maine wanting to see “final details” of President Obama’s rule changes to provide contraception coverage through insurance companies, I’ve heard basically [...]

To Serve Women (a cookbook)
This really might be the dumbest, most ill-conceived and poorly written Daily Caller opinion piece ever, which, lordamercy, is saying something: Why, to serve as civilizing hose-bags and poop out babies, of course! Well, at the very least, the column puts paid to any notion that the GOP’s “woman problem” will end when dinosaurs like [...]

GOP Justification for State-Sanctioned Rape in Virginia
blink Apparently, once vaginally-penetrated, always vaginally-penetrated: During the floor debate on Tuesday, Del. C. Todd Gilbert announced that “in the vast majority of these cases, these [abortions] are matters of lifestyle convenience.” (He has since apologized.) Virginia Democrat Rep. David Englin, who opposes the bill, has said Gilbert’s statement “is in line with previous Republican [...]

Look back in anger
My opinion on the contraception coverage issue for churches is that it will have no political effect. I think it’s too complicated and most people just don’t care. It was a bad move for the Catholic church, but it probably won’t impact whether people vote Republican or Democrat this fall. Democracy Corps thinks it has [...]

Fox News’s Liz Trotta on Sexual Assault in the Military: Men Get Rapey Sometimes. Get Over it!

Number Crunchers And Green Eyeshades
The President unveiled his 2013 budget plan today, and the details and priorities are very interesting, to say the least. President Barack Obama would almost double spending on the U.S. infrastructure over the next six years and would pour $350 billion into a jobs plan while shrinking the budgets of most other domestic agencies. The [...]

Stupid Is as Stupid Does
They are really going to wage a war on contraception: Not satisfied with President Obama’s new religious accommodation, Republicans will move forward with legislation by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) that permits any employer to deny birth control coverage in their health insurance plans, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday. “If we end up [...]

The Bishops make their move
So it looks like the Bishops have decided to double-down on their latest effort to have the Federal Government enforce Church Law. The President offered up a rhetorical solution in response to their rhetorical freak-out over language in a new health insurance rule and the fiction that their objection was about religious freedom was exposed [...]

GOP Wants to Deny Women ANY Preventive Health Services
GOP War on Women Goes Nookyular Yesterday, President Obama handed the Republicans their asses—again: After two solid weeks of Republicans rapidly escalating attacks on contraception access under the banner of “religous freedom,” Obama finally announced what the White House is proposing an accomodation of religiously affiliated employers who don’t want to offer birth control coverage [...]

President Obama Stands Up for Women’s Health… AGAIN.
The contraception coverage debacle has been nothing short of ridiculous. For the past couple weeks, we’ve been treated to scores of Republican men (primarily—and even a couple Democrats) using women’s health as a political football. Suddenly a decision to permit women free access to birth control became a War on Religion, as the GOP decided [...]

Sally Quinn has written the official Village response to Nancy Brinker, head of the Komen foundation: [...] Could this possibly be the Nancy Brinker who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, by President Obama in 2009? Could it be the Nancy Brinker who is the Goodwill Ambassador for the [...]
