The Democratic War on Women
This has to be a GOP lie, right?
Quote:
Rep. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, who is expecting a baby in December, is being denied a request to vote by proxy in the House Democratic Caucus leadership and committee member elections next week—even though her doctor advises she can't travel to Washington in the late stages of her pregnancy.
The Iraq War veteran, who lost both legs when her helicopter was shot down in 2004, made the request in a letter to fellow Democrats. Her letter was read during a closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting on Thursday. But objections were raised, and the request was denied, with opponents including Democratic Steering and Police Committee cochair Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Why - does the policy only apply to Ms. Duckworth?

It's a common sense rule. She has to vote in person because she needs to show her I.D.

Conservatives have consistently shown you and others that the real War On Women is a regular left wing Democrat Party modus operandi.
Yet, whenever you and your ilk are shown true, current left wing Democrat Party War on Women examples, you belch out 'tea party'. What gives, Robert?

You can say all you want about it, but it was not the liberal democrats who sided with Hobby Lobby. When I start seeing a lot pro-choice republicans on the ballot, I will believe that republicans have changed. It is the republicans who have a war on women. Until the GOP gets it through their heads that a women's body is her to control and that of some Holy-Than-Thou pro lifer, it is them that will be waging a war on women. When the GOP gets its into their heads that a woman's sex life is her business and hers alone, then it can stop trying to defend itself against charges that it is waging a war on women. Your and other conservative's contrived arguments are not going to change anything. A real change of some core beliefs is needed on the part of the GOP and conservatives.

Pride and ignorance, a dangerous combination.
What else but ignorance could explain a stupid comment like this one?
