Cons:Where in the Constitution does it give Big Government the right to force unnecessary?

The Republican agenda for women and children is pure hate – it supports rape, murder, poverty, starvation, ignorance, pregnancy and slavery. You are probably aware that they just tried to pass a law in several states that would not only stop abortion, but deprive women of the pill, IUDs, and life-saving surgeries such as for ectopic pregnancy, or even if she needed cancer care while pregnant, she could not get it as it would harm the fetus.

Virginia’s Republican legislature passed a law in both houses that would force women who seek a legal abortion to undergo unwanted medical penetration against their will and their doctors will. Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell promised he’d sign it until the women of Virginia demonstrated and he was forced to back down. He’s still insisting on a medically unnecessary procedure to bully and intimidate women.

And who can forget the GOP’s “Let Women Die Act?” http://veracitystew.com/2011/10/13/gops-let-women-...

Here is a list of misogynistic bills introduced by Republicans during just two weeks in February, 2011, showing what they want for women.

1) Rape: Republicans are actually trying to redefine rape to exclude drugging a women and raping her, or getting her drunk and raping her. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't the language is still out there.

2) More Rape. 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 crimes, like robbery, would remain "victims." Apparently in Georgia if a woman is raped, she isn’t really – is just an annoying accuser. Which means the rapist is not really a criminal.

3) Murder. In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder anyone who injures or threatens a fetus, including a doctor who provides abortion care and the mother. He denies it has anything to do with abortion so I guess it is aimed at making it OK for a husband or boyfriend to kill his partner if he thinks she might injure the fetus- like in a car accident, or he just doesn’t like her anymore.

4) Starvation. Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids. But payments to corporations to not grow food, to keep prices high? Those are still in the budget.

5) Death. In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life (so she and fetus die).

6) Ignorance and slavery. Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working. They should be slaves to their husbands instead.

7) More ignorance. At the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

8) Poverty and starvation. Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

9) Sickness. Congress voted on 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.

10) Barefoot and pregnant. And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans only - Republican Dan Burton, who supports eliminating funds for family planning has introduced a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. Horses have more value to him than America’s women?)

Mock the link if you like, Republicans, but you can verify all this for yourself using Google.

Eight million more women than men voted in the last presidential election, so cons WILL pay for this at the polls.

they could argue that they are conserving from invasion. The unlawful immigrants might want to might want to come over without caution in a threatening way. they could justify having some guards monitoring the boarders. because there are not any "invasions" very few operating by, would not keep on with. the authorities is in elementary words gonna do what Georgie W tells them to do. he's now unlikely to sweat over it because he's on his way out. Plus, his daddy and daddy's acquaintances have a lot inventory and interest in oil, they don't pick to piss off anyplace that could want to diminish the $$ strings.

You will not get a single thoughtful answer on this question..what do you expect this is the same group of people who do not see the irony in forcing a medical procedure, all the while screaming for less government control...

"Invasive Medical Procedures" - a little probe with sound waves - good grief - there are no known side effects and is considered safe.

If Obamacare can trample on women's freedoms - what is one more? That is all I hear from you Liberals - you've got plenty of other freedoms.

Obamacare and this should be outlawed.

LIBERALS: <Cons:>Where in the Constitution does it give Big Government the right to force unnecessary?

EXPENSIVE, GOVERNMENT MEDICAL PLANS ON CITIZENS, EVEN THOUGH 70% OF SAID CITIZENS WERE AGAINST IT?

I love how liberals like you whine about government power only when it suits your myopic political agenda..

BTW: didn't ask this same question a few days ago?

Maybe the men in the GOP Virginia legislature that are passing the transvaginal ultrasound law should be mandated to go get a colonoscopy before they can buy condoms.

In the same place where it says a woman has a right to tear a baby limb from limb for purely selfish reasons.

Seriously, though, where did you get the idea that state governments get their power from the U.S. Constitution? That power is delegated straight from the people.

Where does it give the government the right to force citizens to buy a service or product like health insurance? Abortion seems to be the only area where liberals are keen on limited government.

Let me guess you are the same guy from this morning with a different account.

Personally, I think it ought to be in the Constitution that women should be forced to have their tubes tied if they are on their 8th pregnancy since their last JOB.
