No Question About It - GOP Policy About Controlling When Women Have Sex

The GOP policies in alliance with the fundy nutzie churches and is all about is all about controlling when and how women have sex. Because the churches only want women to have married sex only when they are fertile they are pursuing government policies to discourage women from having sex without permission.

It is no different than what the Taliban want for women. Complete submission to only what men want. As outrageous as what I am saying is, just look at all the policies and legislation the GOP keeps proposing. Using the fear of pregnancy in a post contraceptive world and "the probe" are ways to control women if you follow the logic to its end.

What I do not understand is where is the outrage. Why are so many women so compliant and accepting of such tyranny. Facebook and the social media are not adequate in turning back these assaults on women's rights.

sex. Churches and governments appear to be unable to control that, and will remain unable to do so.

There will not be a ban on contraceptives. It's all talk.

as the results of the last election showed. Akin, Mourdock, and most of the other women-hating nutballs were defeated, even in conservative-leaning areas.

The important thing to work on now is not getting complacent and letting our guards down after such defeats, because these people will not go away and, in fact, have never gone away. They will simply keep at it. The fight for rights is a never-ending struggle, frankly.

And these people have always been about controlling women and their reproduction. Because whoever in a society controls the women controls that society.

Some of them. That's what they used to do, and they do not regret it. They think that was great.

People are easily brainwashed by whatever society they are born into, all of us. It's very dangerous not to.
