Thursdays post, part I

Today {Feb. 23,2012}, Democrats held a hearing on women’s health with Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student that Republicans refused to let testify last week at an all male birth control coverage panel.

In yet another appalling move, Republicans refused to let Congressional cameras in to tape Sandra’s testimony today.

{Watercolors Angel}, they want to silence us. Let’s take this moment to show that our voices are too powerful to be censored.

There are just days left before the February FEC reporting deadline, the first since Republicans held their disgraceful women’s health hearing.

Help us raise $1 million by Wednesday’s deadline to send an overwhelming message that we will not stand for the Republicans’ anti-woman agenda.

Contribute before the deadline and a group of committed Democrats will match your gift dollar-for-dollar.

The Republican War on Women must come to an end.

We must send a loud and clear message to Republicans that we are standing strong and united. Join the fight:

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi

 

This is happening in the so called Christian Nation of the United States by the party which claims to be the 'Pro-Life', Pro-Family Values' Republican Party. If this was happening in the Middle East, I could just hear the Republicans now, that would be the justification of 'Islamophobia' and how it would be justified against those Muslim men who use and abuse their women.
OOOPS, This is happening is the U.S.A. by the Republican Party; So the Republican Party line would have to become that they are trying to save 'The Family" and "Women" from those 'Liberal Feminists', who are out to destroy the family by--dare I say it--by giving women the choice to marry or not. Even worst, by giving women the means to bare children or not. As If we American Women are mere livestock--as long as we are all Christian livestock then the 'Social Conservatives--Tea Parties--of the Republican Party would have done their job.

I cannot believe this that even in this 21 Century that Women's Rights are becoming an issue. We go to other countries and tell them to treat their women and children fairly, but yet, the same people who condemn 'Islam' for treating their women as second class citizens, would do the same thing here in America.
