It Sure Looks Like The GOP Is Still Winning The War On Women

GOP controlled legislatures are still succeeding in passing anti women legislation. Family planning services are still being reduced and Planned Parenthood is directly in the bulls eye. Yet I see no effective kick back. The cattle prod laws are still in the works.

Yet I hear very little vocal public kickback from Democratic politicians.

The Democrats can complain there, but they're severely outnumbered.

I am concerned how what they are doing bleeds over into other areas. Wisconsin is not necessarily a backward state yet 4 Planned Parenthood clinics were closed because of budget cuts. We have some GOP legislatures in some blue states. Ohio and Pennsylvania are not Mississippi.

These states still set the tone of the conversation. That is not good news.
