A new report released on Thursday by the Guttmacher Institute takes a comprehensive look at how the War on Women has continued past the election cycle and into 2013. It shows that the new legislatures across the country are still very much dedicated to restricting sex education, availability of medication, and abortion access for women. Indeed, 47 percent of the 694 provisions were directly related to abortion.
You heard that right, 694 times in three months, states have sought to pass unconstitutional pro-life pro-fetus, anti-woman laws.

Authority without responsibility is tyranny.
It is my experience that women in complete control of their bodies tend to make good choices about their bodies. People who make good, informed choices tend to be happier, more empowered people, with happier, more empowered children. It is such a wonderfully virtuous circle. Why would any good person want to break that circle?
Why does anyone listen to or submit to the will of someone who wants to make people smaller?

They appear to be very busy with anything sex-related. Anything surrounding their wiener, anything their weiner surrounds.
Busy busy.
