What war on women?, the GOP keeps asking? Bueller? Bueller?
Here! This war:

- redefinition of rape (attempted in Georgia)
- repeal of child labor laws (passed in Maine)
- repeal of minimum wage
- the effort to make contraception unaffordable
- the redefinition of life itself (beginning now before conception)
- cutting of aid for pregnant women
- the relentless cutting of funds for education
- reduce Medicaid and health care for women
- cut Head Start, by $1 billion.
- cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood
- 31 Senators,. All Republican, All Men, voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act.
- in Congress, Republicans have introduced a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life (this is no joke!)
- passed law that allows a Doctor to refuse to provide chemotherapy to a pregnant cancer patient cause it might end pregnancy.(Kansas, May 2012)
- proposing single mothers should not get welfare unless they work (Romney).

So, how does Mr. Romney suggest a single mother should go to work every day, when Head Start and daycare programs are not available, because Republicans axed them? What is she supposed to do with that three-year old? Lock it into a doggy crate, like Seamus?

51% of voters are women.

"The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes."

As Justice Douglas preciently wrote in dissent in Terry v. Ohio (392 U.S. 1, 38-39 (1968): "To give the police greater power than a magistrate [by allowing them to "stop and frisk" on "reasonable susupicion" rather than "probable cause"] is to take a long step down the totalitarian path.
