Women's rights

I haven't been on here for awhile because I am so disgusted with the idiots in this country.  How dare they try to roll back women's rights!  How dare they tell me that I am a second class citizen!  Now the evangelicals and the stupid repugs want to prevent women from having access to birth control.  Bet they would scream bloody murder if we just told them "no sex, take care of your own problem."  Insurance covers smoking cessation,  it covers treatment for smoking related illnesses.  It covers treatment for erectile dysfunction.  But women do not need access to birth control, breast cancer screening, pap smears.  Nope.  We are again being relegated to second class citizen and worse yet, chattel to the men.  Bet if there was a birth control for men, there would be no question about it being covered by insurance.  And if men could get pregnant, abortion would be drive thru.  But since these problems affect women, they don't count.  And any woman wanting birth control is a slut anyway.  Well, if that makes us sluts and prostitutes, then that makes all the men johns. Soliciting prostitution is a crime same as prostitution. Ergo if our husbands and boyfriends won't stand up for us then no sex.  I have been ashamed at the lack of backing that women have received from their husbands, fathers, and boyfriends.  It is appalling what the politicians are trying to do to us and equally appalling at the lack of outrage from men.  Shame on them.  This is a cross gender issue. Ladies, be sure to make your voice heard at the polls.
