As more and more blocks are being put on women's health and interests, I do not hear the Republican women raising their voices. Who in the world are the misogynists that have been voted in to represent the 18th C in our laws? Click here, and here, and here.
Two high profile Republican women have not uttered a public word when they hear that their sisters have lost the 97% of their medical care Planned Parenthood provided their poorest sisters. Apparently they think they are accepted in the White, big boy network. They will soon understand they are nothing but arm candy, to the Republican men; what Maria Shriver was to Arnold Schwartzenegger...someone to make him look good in public; to make him look like an honest man.
It is as though the Phyllis Schlafly of the is still blocking the progress of women towards finding some equality as marital partners and in the workplace. This woman has been the equivalent of the American Taliban for women. Schlafly campaigned against the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The amendment called for men and women to be given equal treatment under the law. Schlafly opposed the ERA because it would require women to serve in combat, and because she believed it would take away legal rights of wives and would negatively influence family life.(from her biography...se link above). She was wrong for women as Ayn Rand was wrong in her economic ideas used by Greenspan for this country.
