Republicans say there is no war on women--it's all a dodge by the Democrats. Problem is, 11 states and counting have passed laws limiting a woman's right to an abortion or contraceptive methods and installing invasive mandated state procedures like ultrasounds before women are allowed an abortion. These states were run by Republican legislatures and/or governors when the laws were passed. The Republican Congress also found time to issue bills limiting abortion rights, but they can't find time to pass a yearly budget.<br />So yes, there is a Republican war on women's reproductive rights. And there's your answer.George DeMarsenoreply@blogger.com
