Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Abortion Coverage Outlawed by Democrats who Pass Health Care Reform in the HouseSunday, November 8, 2009 at 12:51 pm — admin
Women just got Historically SCEWED by Obama’s Redistribution plan. Here is what the Center for Reproductive Rights said re last night’s House passage of the SCREW women reform package that had Pelosi grinning ear to ear!
-- I just watched the Sunday morning talk shows, not one mentioned this historic screwing of women in any meaningful way. NOT ONE! Yesterday CRR warned:
FemiSex has been warning of this outcome for months! Consider yourselves screwed ladies. Result: 155 million women just got screwed out of reproductive care. Obama doesn’t just put women at the back of the bus…. he’s intent on dismembering us with his MONSTER TRUCK of discriminatory reform. We have said from the beginning we can reform health care without screwing the middle class. But Obama’s vision is that the middle class must forfeit in the name of reparations. Women of all classes have now been reduced to Medicaid status: NO reproductive health care for any of us now.

Where is the mainstream media
Where is the mainstream media coverage on this? None that I've seen has done a story devoted this this topic! I'm getting more outraged by the moment.

Naral says,
"The Stupak-Pitts amendment makes it virtually impossible for private insurance companies that participate in the new system to offer abortion coverage to women. This would have the effect of denying women the right to use their own personal private funds to purchase an insurance plan with abortion coverage in the new health system — a radical departure from the status quo. Presently, more than 85 percent of private-insurance plans cover abortion services. "

Tellingly, the president of NARAL, Nancy Keenan--who supported Obama over Hillary--doesn't hold Obama or Pelosi accountable despite the fact it was Obama and Pelosi who hashed out this deal and strong-armed democrats in the House to vote yeah on this sell out.
Keenan must be fired from this post and replaced with real leadership. Clearly she is more interested in protecting her image and embarrassing support of BHO than telling the truth, and calling a spade a spade: that Mr. Obama himself is behind this disturbing betrayal of women.

Great line from Puma Pac re Obama's culture of disrespect for women's rights:
So, can someone please answer this question: If the Democrats won’t stand up for women, why should women stand up for the Democrats?

It looks like the writers at
It looks like the writers at FemiSex are the Cassandra's of the Obama age. The precience of the writers here--disclaimer, also my friends--make for predictive reading.
Also, I should add something I found hilarous. Last night, I spoke with a couple visiting my city for Chicago. They were lovely people, democrats I think. Talk turned to Mr. Obama, and the man blirted out that our president was a "grin fucker." I'd never heard that term. As explained to me it fits Mr. Obama perfectly. He smiles at you broadly as he's screwing you royally.
I realized now that Mr. Obama cares not about women but creating an entitlement that can never be undone, no matter what it does to our heath care system of the fiscal health of this nation. Grin Fucker, indeed.
Obama IS a grin fucker.
Obama IS a grin fucker. Funny/Terrible.
A critical turning point was
A critical turning point was the decision by Ms. Pelosi late Friday night to allow anti-abortion Democrats to try to tighten restrictions on coverage for the procedure under any insurance plan that receives federal money. That concession eased a threat by some Democrats to abandon the bill, but also left Democrats who support abortion rights facing a choice between backing a provision they bitterly opposed or scuttling the bill. The new abortion controls were added to the measure on a vote of 240 to 194.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE HELD ACCUNTABLE FOR SUCH MISLEADING WORDING. THE BILL PROHIBITS THE USE OF PRIVATE MONEY TO PURCHASE INSURANCE POLICIES THAT COVER ABORTION. AND THE REAL f-U: WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE MANDATED --FORCED--TO BUY INSURANCE THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE FULL COVERAGE OF THEIR REPRODUCTIVE NEEDS.

I actually didn't think I could hate a president more than Bush. Wrong.
What a weasel! "courageous" ???????????
Barack is a benedict arnold and weasel and pond scum.
As for CNN, any self-respecting female should never turn on that channel again. What a lie to say the bill " prohibit federal funds for abortion services."
It prohibits all insurance coverage of abortion.
OMG, you are right ! The CNN
OMG, you are right ! The CNN story only mentions that no federal monies will be spent on abortion, not that the bill prevents women from purchasing private insurance that covers abortion. This is the worst kind of government intrusion into women's lives that I seen in my lifetime.
