There's no War on Women, but there's a War on Christmas? Looking for consistency...?

The Republicans being anti-choice, anti-Planned Parenthood and anti-birth control isn't a "War on Women" but a red cup that doesn't say "Merry Christmas" is a "War on Christmas"?

SOURCE: GOP, Fox News, NY Post, etc.

    Republicans are not against birth control. Abortion is protected constitutionally. No one gives a crap about red cups as long as they put that cardboard sleeve in the right place.

    Asked to comment on whether the use of fetal tissue should be banned in medical research in August 2015, Carson responded, "I don’t know that it needs to be banned, but it should be made very clear to people that the types of things we’re discovering by using fetal tissue can also be discovered by using non-fetal tissue. So it’s not like it is the only source as they try to make it sound."[23]

    On August 13, 2015, Carson said women who were pregnant as a result of rape or incest should have access to an abortifacient, which induces a miscarriage. "I would hope that they would very quickly avail themselves of the emergency room, and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer RU-486 and other possibilities before you have a developing fetus," Carson said.[24]

    Planned Parenthood duplicates services hospitals and free clinics already provide. There is no help that cannot be found in other facilities.

    It becomes a war on Christmas when businesses, schools and public places are forbidden by law and sued in court for reference to Christmas. The irrational argument is that it might insult no Christians. Madalyn Murry did no favor fr atheists or rational people.

    I think they are "ANTI-MURDER!" And planned parenthood was committing several felonies by selling (receiving contributions) fetus remains.

    Talk about a little shop of horrors!!!!

    And Christmas has NOTHING to do with buying gifts. Once everyone realizes "there is a reason for the season" and retailers profits drop and jobs are lost then the liberals will change their tune(attacking Christians).

    Last year, I dropped a gold coin into a Salvation Army bucket. Their CEO works for free!!! It was my thanks for being allowed to grow up in America. P.S.( that gift could NOT be deducted from my income taxes, which I was aware of before giving )

    Do I really have to dredge up all the NON FOX stories about employees told not to say "those words"? Speaking of free birth control: what is the good of that if we still have unwanted pregnancies because no one takes them? Ever had an idea that WORKED as advertised? Enjoy that draft with those Obama "boots" he said never would be sent too! HAHAHAH I'm too old!

    I am close friends with a number of Christians and even they think the far-right furor over Starbucks' cups is the stupidest thing they've ever heard.

    And Leftists have been started a War on Halloween.

    Why does the Left seek to destroy everything loved by a free society?

    Didn't know Republicans are against birthcontrol.. you sure about that one? Sorry your choice to kill an inconvenient baby late term is so inconsistent with your support for everything "Holiday".

  • You should care more about the wars that actually kill people rather than whine about an already seriously bastardized holiday.
