Republicans war on women

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Does that mean you want government to poke it's nose in people's most personal decisions? Don't answer that. I already know.

Hey there Dawg…. wassaup?
This whole thing assumes that people are entitled to the job working for somebody else. As soon as they get hired, they are entitled to the job. Is this the premise the whole argument is based on?

It's based on republicans wanting to be able to fire women for nothing more than being single and pregnant. It has nothing to do with how well they do their job.

Lots of companies have morals clauses, etc. If they realize that single mom families are bad for society then good for them for not endorsing them.

One of the main arguments the left uses for black failure is that black children are economically disadvantaged. Why? Mostly because most black families are single mom. A strong father/mother family is always best but somehow the left see's that as evil.

Absolute bullshit.

You need to be clearer. What is absolute bullshit and why?

Republicans deny the claim that there is a Republican's war on women......but they keep taking actions that prove they hate women. Filing a bill that allows employers to fire single women that get pregnant! What about the men that got them pregnant? And, won't this encourage abortions? Welfare? What are they thinking? Oops, they are not thinking.

Where are the Republican women on this? Why do they think it is okay? Stepford wives, anyone?


Well, it’s happened. Republicans have become so desperate in their attempts to allow bigots to discriminate freely against the LGBT community that they have crafted a bill with language so loose that would allow “Christians” to fire single women for getting pregnant…just like Jesus would. H.R. 2802, or the First Amendment Defense Act, “prohibits the federal government from taking discriminatory action against a person — which is defined to include for-profit corporations — acting in accordance with a religious belief that favors so-called traditional marriage,” the Huffington Post reports. “This means the feds can’t revoke a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status or end a company’s federal contract over this issue.”

The bill includes protections for people who believe marriage is between “one man and one woman” and “sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.” If that’s not awful enough, American Civil Liberties Union legislative representative Ian Thompson points out that the legalized discrimination within the bill extends to other groups conservatives regularly attempt to deprive of equal treatment — single mothers.

House GOP Files Bill That Allows Employers To Fire Single Pregnant Women

Back to this nonsense again? Funny how the only time we hear about this supposed "WAR ON WOMEN!!!" (cue ominous background music!!!) is when a liberal with an awful record is about to run for office. Gee, think someone might be trying to deflect the narrative away from things like Benghazi, email accounts and charitable foundations? Then as soon as the election is over you won't hear a peep about that subject until the next election.

Really? this is
H.R. 2802, or the First Amendment Defense Act
A bill introduced by house republicans. If you don't want your war on women discussed, then quit introducing bills like this.

How is H.R. 2802 a war on women? It's about religious freedom.

No,,,doing something fireable makes you wrong....Being pregnant shouldn't justify different treatment. Yes this is cold but I don't think a employer should have to treat someone different for any reason.

Did you even read the OP? They want to be able to fire women for being pregnant, but just the ones who aren't married. Do you really think an employer should have that ability?

Sure. If they intentionally create children devoid of the necessary two parents then they are contributing to social demise. Like if they sell drugs. Good policy.

Does that mean you want government to poke it's nose in people's most personal decisions? Don't answer that. I already know.

You did not answer the question. I see the dilemma I just don't know if the premise is a job entitlement the argument is based on.

s&m, b&d websites.

What are those websites?

Where is this war on woman????

Did you even read the OP? Can you even read? That is the war on women.........filing a bill that literally gives employers the right to fire pregnant single women is a war on women. Why not the men that got them pregnant? And, aren't they going against their own belief's? Won't this open the door for single women to want to get abortions? I thought you all were against abortion? And, won't this make single pregnant women qualify for welfare? I thought you all were against welfare? Isn't it a stupid decision? Hopefully there is enough Democrats to derail this bill.......but kudos to you all for winning the House and the Senate.....now you can wreck the country without interference. Well, maybe not, we still have a damn smart President......he'll veto the hell out of such stupidity.

Because only women get to choose. That's the lefty way.

Oh, and men get to choose to fire women that get pregnant and are not married....how quaint. That's like so 1930's......where you cons want to take the country.

I'd say 1330's

Hunter-gatherer society on the Great Plains?

It shouldn't have anything to do with being single, just pregnant. Pregnancy is going g to decrease a woman's effectiveness in a job. She will miss more time, incur more medical expenses and be less focused on her work. That's just simple biology.

Of course my preference would be to avoid this by not hiring women at all; but that's just me.

 

[thereisnospoon]

You idiots still beating that drum? How'd that strategery work out last midterms?

Nice deflection. Why don't you address the topic, Mr. Stepford? Want to deny it happened?

The topic is bupkis......That's why....

 

[thereisnospoon]

Apparently someone is nervous and concerned that the hags appeal is somewhat lacking?

Another deflection. Why don't you all address the topic.....why do you hate women?

"why do you hate women?"
That's a statement not based in fact.
Failed political angle. FAIL

 

[thereisnospoon]

Why does this not surprise me?

Because they can't help themselves. Either they are too ignorant to figure out the consequences of their doings, or they just have so much hate for women, minorities, gays, etc., that they forget it can be deciphered in their actions. And the comatose women in the Republican party.......they just go along with whatever their masters want....what zombies!

 

[thereisnospoon]

Yet another dumb move by the party of stupid.

Yes, they are pandering to the rabid rightwingers who are suffering from a considerable degree of rectal discomfort following the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage.

But this is what cost them the 2012 election. What makes them believe that lambasting the same deceased equine is going to have a different outcome in 2016?

What is amazing is that you were able to think up that crap all by yourself. Usually it takes several hysterical emoting libs to accomplish this feat.

House GOP Files Bill That Allows Employers To Fire Single Pregnant Women

This may sound cold but employers should be able to fire anyone and being pregnant shouldn't excuse the other reasons for firing. So are woman somehow so special that they shouldn't be fired???? Men get fired all the time for doing wrong or being a bad employee and in some cases they have to support a family too...

So being pregnant makes you wrong, or a bad employee? Tell me more.

HUH?......
Way to miss the point.
A company should be able to fire any worker that is not performing to standards.
No one deserves special standing.

 

[thereisnospoon]

I think woman should be able to get 5 weeks off to have the baby and not have to fear losing that job...So don't get me wrong.

It actually 12 weeks. The Family and Medical Leave Act is good law.

5 weeks? The norm is 3 months .

I think he means "paid"

In the conservative"mindset a woman should give birth and go right back to making dinner.

Oh **** you asshole......

You ever run or watch a 3200 meter race? You have to cross a place you've already been eight times. Lefties don't realize they've been lapped and then some.

Wow that was meaningless.

Incredible that anyone could support this.

OTOH, only the US and Papua New Guinea don't have paid maternity leave.

And Repubs/RWs are always coming up with new ways to punish single mothers. Not the fathers who desert their children. Only the mothers. The right would take all welfare, medical care and food stamps away from single mothers and their children.

I suspect there is some important human characteristic that all rabid RWs lack. They're just not like normal people.
