Elizabeth Warren: I'm Sick and Tired of This

The Republicans have a plan. Just look at the facts:

In 2013, Republicans threatened to shut down the government unless they could change the law to let employers deny women access to birth control.

In 2015, Republicans held hostage an easy-to-pass bipartisan bill to stop human trafficking, demanding an unprecedented expansion of anti-abortion restrictions to cover new funds for providing assistance to trafficking victims.

Republicans have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act dozens of times, including the portions that require insurers to cover contraception – and stop them from charging women more.

In state legislatures, Republicans have passed nearly 300 new restrictions on abortion access in the past five years – more than 50 this year alone.

So let’s be really clear about something: The Republicans’ scheme to defund Planned Parenthood isn’t some sort of surprised response to highly edited videos.

Let’s call out the Republican vote to defund Planned Parenthood on Monday for exactly what it is: Another piece of a deliberate, methodical, orchestrated right-wing attack on women’s rights. And I’m sick and tired of it.

4. Takes two

Here is a suggestion to stop abortions. Any woman seeking one, should have to say who the father of the child is. Then THEY have to get a vasectomy, to prevent any more unwanted pregnancies. How would THAT go over? Oh, and take all the Cialis and other erectile dysfunction ads off TV.

6. That would require DNA testing for paternity,

another expensive new cost to obtaining an abortion, along with lawyers for fighting those entanglements. No thanks.

And if the father declares he'll raise the baby and pay for her medical care even though she doesn't want to go through a pregnancy? No thank you.

Getting an abortion shouldn't require a woman to turn to legal proceedings and potentially have to wait months for the simple procedure, turning it into difficult one.

11. Ilsa pointed out just a couple of problems with your "solutions". Given time I'm sure we could..

go down this slippery slope for more.

What would you do about the father that claims he was told the women was on birth control? Or the condom broke?

And I think you would get an argument from many women who's husbands/partners actually suffer from ED. And what does that have to do with abortions anyway? Most of the men taking ED's and their partners are older and past the age of unwanted pregnancies.

How about just letting a women choose what is best for HER and stay out it.

And other than the mother, who the fucks business is it who the father is?

[Hatchling]

12. Mmmm.

"What would you do about the father that claims he was told the women was on birth control? Or the condom broke? "

I guess I would say that if you didn't want to be a father you shouldn't have had sex. That's what they tell us women when the birth control fails or the condom brreaks.

13. Read the post i was responding to.

They were suggesting the father must get a vasectomy. I was in no way referring to your statement. That as idiotic as the posters remarks

[retrowire]

5. Yep

Bernie & Warren 2016!!!! The dream team!!!

[Scuba]

7. Next Republican Goal: Women's Suffrage.

No, that's not a joke.

8. I'm sick and tired of it, too.

And so are a lot of other people.

Let people make their own decisions,

9. It's good to get it out there in the open...again

The Grand Ol' Perverts are anti-women's rights, anti-human rights, anti-freedom, anti-progress, anti-science...they're pretty much against anything that makes the world a better place for normal people. Cuz normal people are non-people.
