Hey republicans--you do know that the wealthy and powerful want to rape and kill your women?
Make no mistake, for those men that love women, republicans included--the REPUBLICANS want to control YOUR wives and YOUR daughters.
Is that okay with you?
Seriously?
So, what do you think they will do them once they gain the control over the country that they seek?
Do you think they are merely going to allow these creatures whose rights they have fought so hard to take away just to live with YOU?
Surely you really are NOT that stupid to think that.
Once these cretins gain control of YOUR country and then YOUR women--you will find out exactly what "to the victor goes the spoils" means. First hand.
Your women will become theirs.
They will rape them. They will impregnate them. They will kill them.
Unless you are in the monied class--then you can rape and kill your neighbors wives and daughters.
I'm sure they won't mind.
If you aren't in the monied class--and that includes 98% of Americans--let me promise you one thing. If THEY want YOUR women, they will get them. They aren't going to be stopped by that gun that you hold on to so fiercely. Can you really live with the fact that you are HELPING them gain control of your wife and daughter? Can you really look those people that you claim are special in the eye while you are handing them over to be raped and killed? This fight is not going to end at taking away their choices. That is only the first step.

We go back in history to find a civilization much like the one that the republicans want. In 4000 BCE the Sumerians were not unlike we are. They WERE and advanced civilization(were being the key word).
http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/ch01.htm
At least twelve cities arose among the Sumerians. Among them were Ur, Uruk, Kish and Lagash -- Ur, for example, becoming a city of about 24,000 people. In the center of each city was a temple that housed the city's gods, and around each city were fields of grain, orchards of date palms, and land for herding. Besides planting and harvesting crops, some Sumerians hunted, fished, or raised livestock. In addition to an increase in population, civilization was also about variety, and enough food was produced to support people who worked at other occupations -- such as the priesthood, pottery making, weaving, carpentry and smithing. There were also traders, and the Sumerians developed an extensive commerce by land and sea. They built seaworthy ships, and they imported from afar items made from the wood, stone, tin and copper not found nearby.
>>>snip
Sumerian writing is the oldest full-fledged writing that archaeologists have discovered. The Ubaidians may have introduced the Sumerians to the rudiments of writing and recorded numerical calculation, which the Sumerians used with the rise in trade and to calculate and to keep records of supplies and goods exchanged. The Sumerians wrote arithmetic based on units of ten -- the number of fingers on both hands. Concerned about their star-gods, they mapped the stars and divided a circle into units of sixty, from which our own system of numbers, and seconds and minutes, are derived.
The Sumerians wrote poetically, describing events as the work of their gods, and they wrote to please their gods. The Sumerians wrote by pressing picture representations into wet clay with a pen, and they dried the clay to form tablets. Instead of developing their writing all at once, as one might expect with divine revelation, they developed their writing across centuries. They streamlined their pictures into symbols called ideograms, and they added symbols for spoken sounds -- phonetic letters -- forming what is called cuneiform.

Yes, these were very advanced and intelligent people--not unlike Americans.
And not unlike Americans, this is what they did to women.

>>>snip
Physically stronger than women, men could rule women by brute force, and in societies where men were the warriors it was they who got together and made decisions for their entire society. Presumably before the time of the Sumerians, kings were chosen by the warriors, with the king as the leading warrior.

The Sumerians put the domination of men over women into law. If a husband died, the widow came under the control of her former husband's father or brother, or if she had a grown son she was put under his control. A woman in Sumer had no recourse or protection under the law. A woman's power, if she had any, was the influence of her personality within her family.

1. Humans never seem to learn from history. Newer generations forget what older
generations experienced, so we move forward (or backward) in never ending cycles, because few want to step out of the box and see what is really going on - as I often say, humans are not much more than a bunch of programmed robots running around.
