GOP: use birth control, risk getting fired (petition)

[Panich52]

The latest GOP attack on women's healthcare is a new low. They want to repeal DC legislation that prevents employers from firing their employees if they use birth control or undergo any other reproductive health procedure.

They're wasting your time by trying to let an employer come between a woman and her doctor in the District of Columbia -- instead of working to pass legislation that will benefit ALL Americans.

1. I am ALWAYS wrong when I think there isn't a new low they can sink to

[Faux pas]

2. They need to

leave women's bodies and lives alone.

[marym625]

3. This is absolutely unconstitutional

What the fuck is their problem?

Is there any way that this has a chance to pass?

[MisterP]

4. they're addicted to pot-stirring red meat, to the point where they can't stop even

when it makes them look stupid--Palin's jeering at the "Vegas to Disneyland choo-choo" showed that she can't be made to understand that trains have *brakes*

of course that generates a million or so diehards who *do* think the way she does, and that keeps the GOP pegged on the juicy, profitable right wing

[marym625]

6. It's becoming difficult to fight

Just so much horror.

[MisterP]

7. it's to keep the whole country off-balance, flooding everyone's psyche

from every angle

[marym625]

10. control. .that's what it's all about. money and control

[tridim]

8. It's simpler than that, they just hate women

and blacks, and gays, and atheists, and poor people, and everyone who isn't them, or doesn't vote for them.

Abortion protests

WASHINGTON (CNN) -

The same day that the Senate reached a deal on abortion language in a bill to combat human trafficking, the House of Representatives began considering legislation that is igniting a new controversy over the divisive social issue.

The House Oversight Committee approved a resolution on Tuesday night with a party line vote that would attempt to overturn a law passed by the District of Columbia Council in December that bans employers from taking punitive action against any employees for using abortion services or birth control. The bill could be scheduled for a full House vote as early as next week.

The new House resolution, sponsored by Tennessee Rep. Diane Black, says the D.C. law, the "Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act," accomplishes the opposite of what its name implies.

"This coercive measure would ban pro-life organizations in D.C. from even considering a job seeker's views on abortion as a condition of employment," Black said in a statement. "This is an affront to the conscience rights of every American who believes, as I do, in the cause of protecting the unborn. Congress must not remain silent while this injustice unfolds."

The Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups have pressed the GOP-led Congress to block the D.C. law. In an analysis published by two Heritage policy analysts, the group asserts that anti-abortion rights groups based in Washington would be faced with decisions about hiring candidates that could conflict with their beliefs.

9. This cannot be constitutional

What about a right to privacy?
