Female Republican Senators Undermine GOP Claim That War On Women Is 'Fiction'
Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) defended Planned Parenthood against conservative attacks, saying that low-income women need the services it provides:
"We cannot afford to lose the Medicaid funding for low-income women to have health care services," Hutchison said. "We cannot. We keep turning back federal funds that every state gets and then try to find money in our budget, which is already being cut in key areas like education. I do think that the governor needs to sit down with the federal government and work it out so we can have our share -- our fair share not more -- of money for Medicaid to help low-income women have their health care services...Planned Parenthood does mammograms, contraception, treatment and tests for sexually transmitted diseases, cancer screenings, and other women's health services -- the preventive health care and they're doing that, we need to provide those services, absolutely."
RobAla: "So, what exactly are the grounds for President Obama to claim that Republicans have a 'war on women'? Let's hear the specifics, instead of just vague rhetoric."
Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
While the GOP's WAR on women also includes their WAR on Planned Parenthood, many misconceptions have led to outrageous propaganda.
Q: How much of Planned Parenthood's services are dedicated to abortions? Does the federal government fund those procedures?
A: Abortions represent 3 percent of total services provided by Planned Parenthood, and roughly 10 percent of its clients received an abortion. The group does receive federal funding, but the money cannot be used for abortions by law.
Oh OK bubba, now your partisan attack is just another ad hominem against FACTCHECK because you have NOTHING ELSE!
Judging from comments made recently by prominent Republicans, the GOP has got a serious problem with women. Until they get over their issues, women have got a serious problem with the GOP.

In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care.
Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

GEEZ robbie, you sure have your head buried in the sand! DENIALISM is a huge trait of republican voters like you today!
A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
Isn't that REDneck state of georgia right next to the REDneck state of alabamy?

Just because you live in a parallel universe robbie, and only have a need to spew republican talking points from the fox/rush propagandists, obviously you have no idea of what your own party is saying about the republican WAR on Women!
Murkowski Becomes Third Republican Senator To Criticize GOP's War On Women
The men in the Republican Party may not think they're fighting a "WAR on women," but its female senators certainly do. Yesterday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Kay Bailey Hutchison in criticizing the GOP's push for legislation to restrict access to contraception and other basic health care services:
"It makes no sense to make this attack on women," she said at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon. "If you don't feel this is an attack, you need to go home and talk to your wife and your daughters."
GEE robbie, maybe you missed this on the fox political network:
Yes, there is a Republican war on women voters
From the GOP primary to the conservative airwaves, in state legislatures and in Congress, Republicans are playing politics with women's health and basic liberties, driving a wedge among conservatives and driving women voters toward the Democrats.

Judging from comments made recently by prominent Republicans, the GOP has got a serious problem with women. Until they get over their issues, women have got a serious problem with the GOP.
This is all you need to see to decide for yourself about the republican WAR on women:
"A Gallup/ USA Today poll conducted in late March shows that President Obama has a 19-point advantage over Mitt Romney among women in swing states. Democrats typically win more support from women than Republicans, but this gap is notably larger than usual."
What woman in the US has a problem obtaining contraceptives? This is a non-issue. $9 at Walmart? This is pure garbage - this is a fabricated issue by Democrats to focus the attention away from the failed policies of President Obama and other Democrats. When Democrat Speaker Pelosi was in charge of the House, she was determined not to do her duty to come up with a budget for the nation. Each year since Republicans took control, they have submitted a budget that the Democrat run Senate shot down. The bogus budget that President Obama submitted received ZERO votes (not even anyone from his own party could support it). The US has not had a budget since 2009, and we have surpassed a $16 trillion national debt.
So, what exactly are the grounds for President Obama to claim that Republicans have a "war on women"? Let's hear the specifics, instead of just vague rhetoric. Republicans appointed the first woman to the Supreme Court, President Bush appointed Condi Rice as Secretary of State, and John McCain picked a woman as his running mate for VP. There is no legitimate grounds to claim that Republicans are exercising a "war on women". This is just more of President Obama's divisive political tactics. Since 2008, he has pitted one group of Americans against another - now he is using gender to attempt to divide Americans and focus the attention away from his failed policies. This is pure bull.
As an independent conservative, I never voted a straight Republican ticket until 2010. I am not a member of any political party - however, recent actions by Democrats make me sick.
Hiding behind a loose tag of "independent, your posts only prove you are nothing but a southern republican-only voter!
Did you miss this your fox political network?
Yes, there is a Republican war on women voters
From the GOP primary to the conservative airwaves, in state legislatures and in Congress, Republicans are playing politics with women's health and basic liberties, driving a wedge among conservatives and driving women voters toward the Democrats.
by ZR28 April 7, 2012 5:55 AM EDT Yea, sure Obama is a champion of women's rights while millions can't find jobs and they and their children are homeless, on food stamps and their kids are living in poverty in record numbers since the Great Depression.
They would rather have decent wage paying jobs so they could pay for their own birth control and health care or the government to help pay part of the cost to Planned Parenthood to kill their unborn children.
Obama is no advocate of women but their enemy who only stands up there and pays lip service to them while pandering for their vote and using false divisive tactics and lies with fictitious slogans like the War on Women. The guy has no shame or conscience. -------------------------------------------
You have no shame. Ignorance is nothing to be proud of.
It frustrates me when factual information is provided to the tea baggers and it goes in one ear and out the other. But I'm willing to try once more.
The GOP has created how many jobs like they promised? Hasn't it been the GOP who demanded and sought out cuts in social services? It is the GOP who is cutting all the social programs that the vulnerable need. Who was stalling to pass an extension on Unemployment benefits? Who has come up with a budget that would cut a huge chunk out of medicare? Who wants to privatize Social Security? After the collapse of the banks and knowing the dirty loans that they bankers were selling to each other you seriously want these people to take Social Security? Who created this Great Recession and then lied about it...Oh yeah, that would be W Bush in early 2008 when he denied that the country was entering a recession a couple of months when the recession was formally declared. Who was it that said that the American middle class were whining, oh yeah that would be Senator Phil Graham. Can you remind me what party he is part of?
In regards to the rest of your hyperbole comments: 3% ...let me write that again....3% of Planned Parenthood's services go to abortions. On top of that NO FEDERAL...let me write that again...NO FEDERAL money ever ever goes to funding abortions.
Next, Planned Parenthood provided necessary health services to poor women (men too). In some cases PP is the only...let me write that again...PP is the only health provider many can afford.
58% of women who are on birth control take it for other medical reasons.
Now your turn..provide facts to support your assertions of false divisive tactics and evidence of his lies to women.
First, why do many far right supports come to these sites spew their venom but don't even bother to address legitimate points, refute with facts, and provide information of their own to support their claims and assertions? It looks like you guys come in scream weird hyperbole crap and then leave. No evidence, no facts, no debate...
So, I'm going to try this again. Yesterday, I wrote a very short list of facts that can be easily verified on a simple google search and I wrote at the end rational questions which asks why Red States have the worst record for women, that too can be verified.
You haven't heard of the over 400 pieces of legislature going through many states that are trying to control women's health, limiting birth control or making legal abortions extremely difficult to obtain? You didn't read about two years ago in Georgia and GOP politician wanted to investigate every miscarriage to determine is a crime was committed?
Here I'll give you 11 examples: 1. In Oklahoma convicted rapists are allowed to have child visitation rights with the child born of the rape. 2. Idaho and Indiana want to make sure that "silly" women don't use a rape loophole for abortion. 3. Mississippi's Governor gleefully openly stated that the new trap law, bill HB1390 will close down the only abortion center in the state. 4. Michigan, Texas and several others are pushing for Personhood bills which in many cases give full rights to fertilized eggs. 5. Arizona wants to limit contraception by allowing employers to act like doctors to approve or disallow birth control even if used for others means. 6. Tennessee will publish private information on patients, such as the woman's county, age, income, race who have abortions. If a woman lives in a sparse county this is intrusive. 7. Georgia will no longer label victims of rape as victims but as accusers. 8. The GOP in Congress wanted to change the definition of rape. I guess there is a difference between forcible rape and ...what? casual rape? 9. For the first time ever in the history of the Violence against Women Act, which always had the support of many GOP and Republican Presidents suddenly is hated by the majority of the GOP and they seek to reject it. 10. A major Santorum backer called for women to use aspirin between their legs as birth control. 11. Rush Limbaugh called a woman a **** and lied about her testimony. Oh where in her testimony did she ever ever mention her sex life (for those ignorant men out there women need to take the Pill once a day for it to work regardless of a woman actually being sexually active)?
On top of this, why are all the Red States are at the bottom of the pile in regards to quality of health care for women, employment choices for women, education for women, and have the worst wages for women and the highest teenage unwanted pregnancies?
Ok Tea Party people, your turn!!!!
Try real hard to defend these actions. Do you agree with rapists getting visitation child rights? You are indeed sick. You are screaming about abortions but fine with getting rid of contraception. Nice. Keep the vaigra but get rid of the Pill for women. You find it funny that some idiot wanted to investigate every miscarriage for criminal intent? You are indeed screwed up.
Going back to World War II, there was a Japanese admiral that feared they had just awoken a sleeping giant after the attack on the United States. It appears the GOP have done the same with women.

The issue is an easy sell versus the purse string cutting proposals going on in several States regarding women's healthcare providers.
Your side has lost out of the gate on this issue. Even Romney isn't smart enough to take his wife's advice and stay away from this issue.
Yea, sure Obama is a champion of women's rights while millions can't find jobs and they and their children are homeless, on food stamps and their kids are living in poverty in record numbers since the Great Depression.
