Just days ago tea party senate candidate Mourdock stated that a women getting raped is "Something that god indented to happen"

To most this seems to be outrageous, though Willard Romney has gone as far as to make appear in a campaign ad to support Mourdock.

How anyone with an ounce of sanity could support these lunatics is beyond me, but why would you?

I honestly don't know how anyone could. I would love to know why any woman would vote for Romney/Ryan.

Same here.

As an older woman, I am past the age where I need to worry for myself about any of the women's reproductive rights that would be threatened by a Willard/Ryan administration; however, I do have granddaughters and I am terrified for them.

And not just for my own granddaughters, but for what it would mean for young women everywhere.

Really, for women everywhere, and for the men who love them, this should be a huge issue.

There could be two, or even three, Supreme Court appointments coming up in the next four years, and I just can't imagine the world my granddaughters will have to live in if Willard "Mittens" Romney is the one making those appointments.

Here's my standard reply to threads on the removal of women's rights and the reality of it:

State Trends for 2011 on Abortion, Family Planning, Sex Education and Insurance
Laws Affecting Reproductive Health and Rights:
Trends in the First Quarter of 2011

To date, legislators have introduced 916 measures related to reproductive health and rights in the 49 legislatures that have convened their regular sessions. (Louisiana’s legislature will not convene until late April.) By the end of March, seven states had enacted 15 new laws on these issues, including provisions that:

The threat to women is real. More real than most people want to recognize.

According to the Christian faith, God is in control of everything, good and bad, but what has the Tea Party got to do with it?

It's easy for neo-tards to have this conception of women, they still believe women should be barefoot and wearing aprons.

/\ What's wrong with my wife being barefoot and wearing an apron? Ever think she likes being barefoot after having shoes on all day and she doesn't like getting clothes dirty when cooking? Sheesh..

Because there are much bigger issues, nothing is going to happen to Roe vs Wade, 99% of the "war on women" is scare tactics rather than reality, and Romney is nowhere close to being a tea partier.

This is why you are seeing the female split around 47/47% in the polls right now. Who is looking at things through LOGIC vs otherwise. The "war on women" tactic uses immediate emotional reaction, and fear.

Liberals don't even KNOW that Mourdock's Democratic opponent feels exactly the same way....he is also pro-life and believes life begins with conception.

Maybe he's a Tea Party Democrat????
