Seriously - outside of overturning RvW, how are men "taking a woman's rights to her own body away"?
this is not an abortion thread what you call women's rights some call rights for the unborn your rights are not allowed to infringe on the rights of other and the right to life trumps the right of choice
it all boils down to when is a baby a human that is a philosophical argument with no clear answer so it is not a war on women it is a war on philosophical differences
You are a fool if you think voter ID laws are to stop ineligible voters. They are limiting polling places and cutting early voting too, all aimed on reducing minority turnout by causing long lines and frustrated voters. Wake up for a change.

You don't need to play dumb with me. You know full well what I mean. Admit it, you hate women and wish to subjugate them. It's all the rage with your side.
well there are the ultrasounds.
all voting laws effect all voters the same unless your saying minorities are easier to confused and easier to frustrate
So you concede. Thank you. It's nice to know that you've essentially been brainwashed by other liberals who "say" that Republicans hate women.
Your attempt to deflect failed.
Really? That's the best we have so far? Yeah, Republicans hate women. Let's all just drag a bunch of them out in the street and shoot them.
So women are just collateral damage then? How much lower can you get?
When it is polling places in minority districts that are purposely closed or limited it does not effect all voters, Sherlock.
then why is the republican party ignoring the wage gap between men and women?
The raw wage gap data shows that a woman would earn roughly 73.7% to 77% of what a man would earn over their lifetime. However, when controllable variables are accounted for, such as number of children, and the frequency at which unpaid leave is taken, in addition to other factors, The U.S. Department of Labor found in 2008 that the gap can be brought down from 23% to between 4.8% and 7.1%. Furthermore, The United States Government Accountability Office found in 2009 that when accounting for diminishing differences in variables including chosen occupation, education, and experience, the variable wage gap among federal workers can be brought to roughly 1–2%.
I dunno. Why are the women employed by this administration in the WH not getting paid as much as the men? Seems just a little, tiny bit hypocritical....Okay, maybe a whole lot...Or has Obama changed parties in the middle of the night?then why is the republican party ignoring the wage gap between men and women?

Republicans want limited government! They want to tell you who you can marry, that a woman has no choice, basically anything that goes on in your home they want a say in it. Bunch of dictators.
and that philosophical difference is more important then the personal choice of the child's mother?
not when that choice cause the death of another
Individual people are all capable of being hateful regardless of political, religious or social affiliations. The question is are YOU hateful. Also, individuals do not represent a whole political party. Let's take a look instead at the policies or practices promoted by that party to make a decision regarding which is most compassionate and which is most hateful.
if only people like you showed the same passion for helping people in poverty as they do for some strangers unborn child, then the world would be a better place?
lol is that the best you can do is some obscure blog post from an unknown site why wasn't it on the 6 o'clock national news like it would be if it was a republican that made those comments

Proof of the GOP War on WomenA recent report from the Guttmacher Institute details the extent of 2011′s war on Women’s Reproductive Rights. The report states,
•By almost any measure, issues related to reproductive health and rights at the state level received unprecedented attention in 2011. In the 50 states combined, legislators introduced more than 1,100 reproductive health and rights-related provisions, a sharp increase from the 950 introduced in 2010. By year’s end, 135 of these provisions had been enacted in 36 states, an increase from the 89 enacted in 2010 and the 77 enacted in 2009. (Note: This analysis refers to reproductive health and rights-related “provisions,” rather than bills or laws, since bills introduced and eventually enacted in the states contain multiple relevant provisions.)
•Fully 68% of these new provisions—92 in 24 states—-restrict access to abortion services, a striking increase from last year, when 26% of new provisions restricted abortion. The 92 new abortion restrictions enacted in 2011 shattered the previous record of 34 adopted in 2005.
•Abortion restrictions took many forms: bans (6 states), waiting periods (3 states), ultrasound 5 states), insurance coverage (3 states joined the existing 5 with such restrictions), clinic regulations (4 states), medication abortion (7 states).

OK you asked for it...this is only part of it. A post can only be 16000 letters long.
link please that a polling place in a minority district closed sooner then one that is not
After the election, former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer told The Palm Beach Post that the explicit goal of the state’s voter-ID law was Democratic suppression. “The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told the Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only ... ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’” he said. Indeed, the Florida Republican Party imposed a host of policies, from longer ballots to fewer precincts in minority areas, meant to discourage voting. And it worked. According to one study, as many as 49,000 people were discouraged from voting in November 2012 as a result of long lines and other obstacles.
