between our Planned Parenthood and Equality Florida (LGBT) groups -- and you are correct, they ARE coming after women b/c they're losing the battle against LGBT rights.

their political strategy requires the creation of outcasts because they have nothing to offer without "evil ones" that can be railed against.

we have to circle the wagons on this. in the past it's been all too easy for Dems to go soft on women's issues. we have to make everyone understand that equal rights are the third rail that cannot be touched.
