It's an argument about public funding for contraceptives, not the private use of said products. No one that I know of is attempting to legally restrict the use of contraceptives.

What makes you think a patriarchal attack on women's reproductive rights means only a patriarchal attack on private use of contraceptives? My comment includes attacks on public funding on contraceptives and abortion procedures that benefit individual citizens and society as a whole. Even further, Santorum has said that he would support the right of a state to ban contraception which means that these patriarchal attacks from the right have also ventured into the "private use" area of all this as well.

It's unfortunate when people start threads asking questions, but immediately make it clear that they are only interested in hearing one answer and that they will spend the rest of the thread deriding answers they disagree with.

Is the OP not allowed to have an opinion?

I'm interested in all answers. I love knowing what and how people think.

Well, when I hear that rights are "under attack" I assume it's referring to the right to engage in the action itself, not an "attack" in the form of not being willing to publicly fund said action. My apologies if I misunderstood..

I would absolutely agree with you on that point, that's a complete overreach of authority.

You could, but that doesn't have any effect on the fact that there is, in fact, a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right. And that attack could be considered a "war on women" which is the topic of the thread.

Horse ****. How can it be patricarchal if around half the people who want to restrict abortion are FEMALE?

Where did I say she wasn't allowed to have an opinion? I think I commented on the fact that she is only interested in one answer to the question.

Side note: You know, Wake does the same thing Josie is doing in this thread and he gets a lot of crap for it. If I had made the same comment in a Wake thread, you probably would have agreed with it. That's unfortunate too.
 
There is an assault on women's reproductive rights. This attacks us in more areas then in bed.

It's patriarchal because of the people leading the attacks.

did you know some states still have laws on the books saying women cant drive unless a man walks infront of the vehicle waving a torch to let other drivers know a woman is on the road??

awww laws written 100 years ago that no politician is smart enough to repeal,only thing saving people is no ones dumb enough to enforce them.

You've spent most of your posts mocking opinions that are different from yours. This is obviously not true. When I want people to know I'm interested in their opinion, I don't ask them a question and then proceed to passive aggressively mock their opinion. Spare me.

Accusations do absolutely nothing to further your argument or opinion. FYI.

That's weird because Santorum said that he supports states' rights to ban contraception and there are quite a few people who want to ban abortion. NEXT.

You do realize that banning abortion would be the OPPOSITE of a war on women, right?

And I don't know any state that would ban contraception. That's just fear-mongering from the left.

Oh I'm sorry. Are you under the impression that I give a **** if you think I've "furthered my argument"?

One person does not a war make. Abortion has been an issue since abortion began. That isn't a new argument and it isn't designed to attack women, but to protect the "baby".

You do realize that I'm pro-choice and I perceive abortion to be a woman's right, right? So no, it's not the opposite. NEXT.
