The title to the OP is "Obama and the war on women." Not "let's only talk about contraception." You’ve probably missed this being so thoroughly immersed in the rightwing news bubble, but the "war on women" phrase is about ALL the GOP attacks on women’s reproductive decisions and health, not just the astonishing and entertaining contraception debate.

Now, we can talk about this issue in a broad way which will shine light on the entire issue, or we can go down the path of tiny little details of who has said what nastier things.

How's this, you guys keep Rush and we'll keep Bill. And we’ll all keep all our other nasty commentators and celebs. End of that nonsense. The focus should be on politicians who actually make the decisions.

The "war on women" is obviously a politically charged label, as is the "war on religion." The latter is utterly nonexistent and is part of the fictional Obama the rightwing news have created. The former would better be called "the war on women's reproductive decisions."

Dozens of bills across the country are aimed at Planned Parenthood. Forcing medically unnecessary transvaginal unltrasounds on women seeking abortions, as is the law in TX and almost was in VA, is rape by any definition. This kind of legislation is happening all over the country. It is a war on women's personal reproductive decisions. The contraception issue is really the least of it, but also illustrates just how backward thinking your party is.
