I don't think it's hate so much as some incredibly insecure need to control women - even by OTHER women! To 'redefine' rape - why? What does this accomplish...except to work to erode a woman's right to decide her own reproductive & medical choices.

I'll stand by hate because it is indeed showing incredible hostility toward women by trying to take away their rights to their own bodies.

If people can't understand that the Republicans want to take us back to 1911, then I don't know what to say.

I'm not suprised though. It's all about women continueing to be a second class citizens. The whole abortion debate in a nutshell, is that. It is nothing more than telling women they don't have a right to medical privacy, for

I don't disagree with you...I just think that there's more to it. I'm sure that there are those out there who follow that thinking because they do hate women.

OMG, this bill is absolutely disgusting.

Good to know that men, who can't even imagine this horror, are telling me that I can't make a decision about whether or not to continue a pregnancy.
