In a combative speech on the Senate floor this morning, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) called a Democrats accusations that the GOP is waging a war on women phony, outlandish, and a distraction.
McCains remarks, typical of GOP rhetoric on the issue, sweep aside the reality of the last few months. ThinkProgress compiled this video report:
The latest example, and the context for McCains remarks, was todays vote on the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act. The bill passed 68-31, with every nay vote coming from a Republican man. The five female GOP senators voted for the re-authorization.
But before that, there was, of course, the overwhelming Republican opposition to the White Houses attempt to improve womens access to contraception, Rush Limbaughs misogynistic rants against Sandra Fluke, the Republican amendment to allow employers to deny women contraception for any moral reason, Herman Cains suggestion that women have an inferior understanding of policy, Republican governors support for mandating medically unnecessary ultrasounds for women seeking abortions, Mitt Romneys silence on the Lilly Ledbetter Act, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkers repeal of that states equal pay laws, and the general denigration within both Republican political ranks and the right-wing media-sphere of womens ability to ably serve in the military. ThinkProgress has compiled the video report.

If it is re-authorization, why then are there new protections for illegals.

Whatever, mooching little child.I call hysterical moochers as I see them.
Of course you do. Just like every other paranoid schizophrenic on the planet.
Yep, the GOP War on Women is alive and well. They get to ride that horse into November...
No sane person would deny there is a GOP war on women - in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures.
It's a fact, Jack.
