The Republican War on Women 0
Dick Polman cuts through the phony PR of Republican pearl-clutching over Anthony Weiner and San Diego Mayor “All Hand on Deck” Filner:
No matter how many times Weiner tweets his crotch, here’s what a war on women really looks like:
In North Carolina, on the eve of the July 4 break, Republican state senators brought up the new abortion restrictions without any public notice in the dead of night. (At the time, the restrictions were attached to a bill banning the invocation of Sharia law in family courts – Sharia law being such an epidemic in North Carolina.) Women with an abding interest in making choices for their own lives rushed to the chamber, hoping to give testimony. But the Republican lieutenant governor, presiding over the chamber, told them: “The senators are your voice here on all matters. They are the only ones we’ll be hearing from today.”
