I support making women see ultrasounds to try and guilt them out of having abortions. [...]  And yes, I would support defunding Planned Parenthood from other services as well because they are our nation's largest abortion provider and anything that hurts them is likely to make abortions more difficult to obtain.

[...]

As abortion is increasingly forced under the radar and into back alleys, begin upping the sentences and charging the women and doctors with murder.

You're certainly posting in the appropriate thread, I must say.

The problem is that a direct link between abortion and breast cancer is not only disputed, it has also been rejected by multiple health organizations. The National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are a few of the groups who say no such link has been scientifically proven. Even the Susan G. Komen Foundation denies there is a link.[/quote]

Remember, $47,000,000,000 in extra revenue from millionaires is a barely significant sum of money.  But, $300,000,000 in spending for breast cancer screenings and birth control is waaaaay too much money.

Woman sees her salary reduced by $20k from that of her male predecessor.

Problem:  Woman is Washington state GOP chairwoman.

The chairman of the Montgomery County PA Republican Committee has been arrested.  He allegedly offered a ride to an employee at his law firm after a work party, offered her alcohol secretly laced with Ambien, and then raped her twice.

Maybe not describing women as inanimate human factories?  Oh but "some refer to them as mothers" so I guess it was ok.

[Joe Republic]

"O great sage".  "Pro-abortion".

You're an R-TX.  It would take too long to explain.  I'd have to start with 'Women Also Being Human 101', and I just don't have time to go over it.

    Another fact is the influence of hypergamy, which means that women typically choose a mate (husband or boyfriend) who earns more than she does. Men don’t have the same preference for a higher-earning mate.

    While women prefer to HAVE a higher-earning partner, men generally prefer to BE the higher-earning partner in a relationship. This simple but profound difference between the sexes has powerful consequences for the so-called pay gap.

    Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate.

    Obviously, I’m not saying women won’t date or marry a lower-earning men, only that they probably prefer not to. If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all. [...]

    The best way to improve economic prospects for women is to improve job prospects for the men in their lives, even if that means increasing the so-called pay gap.

Why do you keep talking as if Planned Parenthood makes a profit?  You do know what kind of organization it is, right?

This attempt by the CO-GOP to introduce women voters to their all-male line-up of gubernatorial candidates was... well, let's just say there's still a lot of work to do.
