The Democrat war on women needs to end now

Enough already!

The Democrats really need to stop their escalating assault on women. I, for one, have had enough.

First, the Democrats insulted every woman’s intelligence by trying to convince us that a legitimate discussion about first amendment rights — specifically the protection of religion from government intrusion — was an attack on a woman’s right to practice birth control.

Although not a Catholic myself, I think it is abhorrent that government regulations should force a church to ignore its own teachings. And unconstitutional to boot.

Of course, I acknowledge everyone’s freedom to choose contraception. That is a separate issue from freedom of religion.

It was unethical and insulting for the Democrats to muddle the two things up.

Second, Democrat Hillary Rosen attacked every woman who has ever chosen the job of caring for children fulltime when she said that Ann Romney, mother of five, “Never worked a day in her life.” What unfeeling foolishness!

Most recently, the majority of Democrats in the U.S. Congress voted against a bill that would have prohibited abortions for the sole purpose of ending the life of a baby according to its gender.

This practice clearly targets girls.

Again, Democrats came down on the side of waging war on women.

As the mother of three wonderful daughters and seven precious granddaughters, I have to protest this Democrat war on women.

I hope women and caring men will join me in the protest.

My strong hope is that real progress in the war on women will occur next November and the arrogant, self-serving, self-righteous leadership associated with Democrats will end.
