117. Sadly, the Republican party has got the rap of being sexist
Pro choice women view any measures to control reproductive rights as a clear affront to Women's rights. And I know my assertion above is well founded because when Bush took office, he (The Repulicans - is probably more accurate) attempted to prevent insurance companies from being required to pay for WOMEN'S birth control. However, VIAGRA was absolutely required to be covered. Of course this created an uproar - even among Repulican women. If you don't think this is a man controlling women problem - look at the picture at the beginning of this thread with Bush surrounded by the fellow white male supporters of the "partial birth" abortion ban law.

You better not be a freeper
