Why did Republican representatives exclude women from contraception discussions?

Do they still consider women as chattel? Do they think men know what's right for women?

Update:

"because Nancy Pelosi was having her paws trimmed". First entry in the Lame Response contest.

Update 2:

"Because when women argue, all they do is scream, then they start crying when they lose.

It's impossible to reason with a woman.". Entry #2...

Update 3:

"We were doing just fine when only men were members of Congress and the senate. Had women been in charge of wagon trains and the pony express we would never been able to move west. If women were running our military we would have never won a war.

We have an issue that needs resolved and it would not be in any ones best interest to have biased opinions clouding a resolution.". Entry # 3 and currently in the lead!

Update 4:

"Republicans are against contraception mandates and women want free things. Democrats want votes.". Entry #4... Mmmmm.. Try a little harder.

Update 5:

"You obviously have believed what someone told you on Facebook!!! It was not about contraception, it was about RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

Now I have educated you so that you won't look uninformed when someone discusses this in your company. Do not spread lies, it is not nice.". I do not "spread lies" at all.. This is well documented fact, and has zero to do with "religious freedom". Entry #5. Now tied with entry #3 due to spin and valiant attempt at revising very recent history.

Update 6:

"What discussions?

Did I miss something in the condom isle at Walgreen's?". Why yes, you did. You missed the chance to actually provide an answer! Entry #6 but not leading the competition.

    definite. That and different issues executed and suggested by the GOP institution commonly. I sat and listened to an ALL male GOP committee communicate the mission of girls's healthcare I listened to Rick Santorum belittle women contained in the militia, I listened to the GOP institution communicate welfare with such distaste understanding finished properly that welfare information has the most impact on women and babies, I listened to the disgusting comments made by the GOP even as Sonia Sotomayor became appointed to the finished courtroom. The competition I heard even as the President signed the Lily Ledbetter Act...all is making me imagine that there is a few kind of conflict on women.

    What discussions?

    Was there a discussion at your gynecologist that republicans were blocking you from going to?

    Go buy your contraceptives like you have for the past several decades. Nobody is stopping you.

    Just dont make me pay for yours. Go to work and buy your own rubbers.

    These guys and Santorum (who obviously hates sex) thinks that I will stand for him sneaking in women's reproductive rights in his political platform, can guess again. Remember how the republicans were SO worried about Kennedy because he was a catholic, fearing he would invoke his religious beliefs through his politics. Well he didn't! Now there's Santorum, this pig is not only trying control women's reproductive rights, He is making this part of his platform. Well, you know what? contraception prevents abortions.
