"War on Women" seems to be the popular buzz phrase lately. Do you believe there is a war against women in this country right now?

No. Although given our success in the War On Drugs and the War On Poverty, perhaps women should begin advocating for one.

LMAO That is just friggen hilarious

Religious institutions can fire people based on their beliefs. A church can fire pastor for converting to Islam or another

So basically what you are saying an employer can fire a guy hired as a mechanic that is really a house painter....I have no problem with that.

Who says they don't?

Call it playing politics, but a church that has a religious stance on abortion, homosexuality, porn, birth control etc. is fully protected to do so and within their rights.

Are you purposely ignoring statement question? Here I'll explain it to you. This is current law:

26 USC § 501 - Exemption from tax on corporations, certain trusts, etc. | LII / Legal Information Institute

(3) Corporations, and any community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual, no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation (except as otherwise provided in subsection (h)), and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.

Again, if you are a church, and you attempt to influence legislation, you should have your tax exempt status removed. Do you disagree? Digsbe, you can't have it both ways. Either you want a complete separation of state and church or you don't. I certainly do. I'm willing to have a government that takes ZERO part in church on-goings as long as that church doesn't attempt to use itself for political purposes. Do you? If no, then you can't complain about the government enforcing the same rules it enforces on everyone else.

Actually...yes. Id also like to find a way to kill off all the superPACs and to amend the constitution to make congressional terms 4 years instead of 2 so we arent in a perpetual election cycle.
 
There is certainly a war on reason and the general concept of equal rights in the USA.
 
No women have been given equal rights. Men are being villainized extremely. Women expecting men to be chivalrious as a cultural "law" isn't sexism but if you were to say a women's place is in the kitchen you'd be a terrible person
 
There is a war on women as much as a war on Christmas. Both are silly over hyped nonsense.

I mean hell, look at the poll results. The votes for "yes" are the most partisan left leaning liberal hacks this site has to offer. If we put up a poll about a war on Christmas, it would look exactly the same except it would be the conservative partisan hacks.

It's all so messed up.
 
Its a Liberal reaction to the conservatives, un-necessary and exaggerated. A "good percentage" of these conservatives are anti-abortion/anti-choice....and they have a good point, which cannot be ignored...
Of course, there should be NO wars....but....what we need is a good shot of love and tolerance..

Libs are still shouting "make love not war."

Now they complain about access to contraceptives they use while making love.

Oh so the religious INSTITUTION can force their views on employees......Last I checked this nation was about individual rights not institutional rights.

This applies to unions also right. Union shops should be illegal, each employee can chose to send a portion of their check to a union if they want, right. Because if you say they can chose not to work there that would be hillarious huh.

Kind of like how a lot of fundies are worried that Muslims will impose Sharia Law on them. Instead of banning Sharia Law, we should just ban forcing and imposing religious beliefs on the general public altogether.

You're European? In the States, we've already done that...way back at the constitution. And anyway, banning Sharia Law is ok... right?

No - it's not - didn't a state try that a few years back?

You can't pass laws that regulate anything relating to religion via government which focuses on one religion.

Well that's what you get for staying in a backwards European country instead of joining Team America. If you don't like your country, leave. It's truly that simple. Just come on over on a Visa while we get the paperwork going.
 
there is a war on women in every part of the world:roll: , many women cant benefit from the opportunities given to the men to prove their potential capabilities.
