"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?

Eh, there's definitely a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right. You could call that a "war on women", but I'd just, again, call it "a patriarchal attack on women's health issues including abortion and female contraception coming from the right."

Yes there is, if you take into consideration views & comments by both leading republican cadidates, Santorum and Romney. Not to mention, recent legislative fights over reproductive/women's health issues across the country and in DC.
[Sexist Joke Here]People are actually saying such a thing?
Really?
Gawd no, there's no 'war on women' in America. Women are pretty much on top these days.

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.You could also call abortion to be an actual war on both sexes since abortion is the legal annihilation of both males and females.

Like I said, I wouldn't call it a war on women, but there are patriarchal attacks on women's reproductive rights. There's definitely a struggle over abortion as you said. However, there is also a definite attack on female contraception. All you have to do is listen to Rick Santorum to know that.there is barely a struggle ( if you can even call it that) over contraception( beyond the dustup with Limbaugh, it's barely even an issue ... abortion, however.. yeah, there is a struggle over that.
insofar as women are the only beings that can abort babies, i guess you can say there is an attack on them over that.. but it's not really a war on women... just a war on the choice to abort.
every time someone strikes out to change the behavior of someone else, there is sure to be a "war on <insert anything>" label thrown on it... and it's generally bull****
What a small-minded comment.No, but don't tell that to feminists, without something to be falsely outraged or terrified about their days would seem empty and unfulfilling.
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.Like I said, I wouldn't call it a war on women, but there are patriarchal attacks on women's reproductive rights.

There is a war on women and men in this country. They are being murdered by the millions in death mills across the country. Groups like NOW and Planned Parenthood have blood on there hands.
