When I created this blog I told myself that I was going to do my best to keep politics out of this. I just can't do it, religious rights is a political topic. The GOP has pushed it's religious beliefs into politics, so this blog tonight is about politics. I am a man that loves equality and balance, women while different than men are balanced with men and equal to men. Any man that thinks that women are lesser to himself is just wrong.
I have been reading and watching the news about everything the GOP wants to do with social issues. And in my eyes it comes to this, the rethuglican party is out to strip women of any and all pride and rights. They are so angry about the status that women carry that they are carrying out a religious war against all women.
First off, there are many intelligent women in congress both republican and democrat. Women that can be supportive and when needed strong leaders. But yet who do the rethuglicans get to be candidates for the 2 highest positions in the US? Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann have proven to be two uneducated ladies that have no concept of the constitution and basic laws. Look at all the clips you have seen of the stupid things these two have done. Why would you do this unless you are looking for something else. A way to make women look inferior.
Second, the attacks of Abortion, the GOP wants to ban all abortions. And since they can't overturn it outright. They are chipping away at it in every single restriction that they are trying to pass in all 50 states. They are trying to force ultrasounds, waiting periods, forcing women to go through therapy, trying to give the mass of 20 cells full rights. There is the extreme that if the mother has a miscarriage and she possibly looks like she did something to cause the miscarriage, she can be charged with murder. They are trying to take away the rights a woman has over her own body.
Birth Control, the GOP is trying to create so many obstacles in a woman get birth control. Birth control pills can be used for other needed medical needs. Such as controlling Ovarian cysts. The GOP can't see this and goes on a rampage saying that government can't force religious organizations to do something against their core beliefs. But they have no trouble with the government investigating a miscarriage as a possible murder. They have no hurt feelings when the government is to prevent homosexual couple from getting married.
Then the latest stupidity by Rush Limbaugh, calling a young lady standing up for what she believed in a "slut and a prostitute". Where is the class and the respect for women on this action. I have yet to see one candidate speak against Rush on the matter. And the only reason why Rush apologised was because he was losing money as the sponsors were leaving him.
And the interesting thing was that this Young lady was blocked from speaking her mind at a meeting. The rethuglicans didn't want to hear her, so they didn't allow her to speak. The Democrats were the ones that had to have a special meeting so that she could speak. I guess the GOP did want her to exercises her freedom of speech.
In Wisconsin, they are talking about a bill that would blame most child abuse on single parents. And we already know that most single parents are mothers. Another way to blame the women for something that they can't control. The rethuglicans are going to force the lady to have the child, then condemn her for being a single parent. This is just wrong. I couldn't help but thinking about certain situations that might occur. What if the father dies in a car crash, leaving the mother to raise the child alone. What if the father is over seas and is killed in an armed conflict? As payment for dying for your country, the GOP thinks the child should be placed in foster care.
The GOP wants to destroy education but force kids to be born. If you are going to flood the US with more kids, you better be flooding money into education, not taking it away. But the GOP wants large amounts of stupid people to do labor and not know how they are getting screwed over.
Homosexual marriage is fought about because two women can get married. How can a man have a wife to abuse if she is married to another women. Remember back in the early 1900's a man can slap the wife around and it was just fine. He was keeping his family in order.
When the GOP thinks they have won these battles they will move to the next item on their agenda. Removing ladies right to vote. If they can't decide what to do with their bodies, they shouldn't be allowed to vote. The GOP wants to strip away rights of women as fast as they can. If you repress a certain group of people, they will likely vote you out of office. But if they can't vote anymore, you can repress them all you want.
The GOP has been talking about beating Obama and their Christian biased social issues. They are the biggest threat to our freedoms and country. If you want your freedom, you have to fight for it.
