    Why so sensitive today?

    And as for an angry dad whose daughter had sex, against his wishes they're both punks. Been there, done that.

    The University of Colorado has some suggestions for women on how to protect themselves from being raped, since you can't have a gun...

    Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.

    Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.

    Kick off your shoes if you have time and can’t run in them.

    Don’t take time to look back; just get away.

    If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.

    Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.

    Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.

    Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!

    Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.

    Remember, every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.
    If "passive resistance" doesn't work or you can't pee or vomit on cue you may be out of luck.

    Or

    Travel in groups.

    Don't go where there may be danger.

    Tell the attacker, "OMG! I know your mother!!!"

    Hello again,

    Hmmmm... Texas has one of the highest if not the highest teen birth rate in the country. Meanwhile, Republicans in the state continue to limit access to not just birth control but to cancer pregnancy and STD testing as well as other types of care women and infants require.

    How does that make sense?

    604 registered voters!! Wow now that's comprehensive ! I wonder how many Repubics have lost elections in Texas by taking the wrong side on the birth control debate. You would think that they'd be losing a lot of elections.

    Interesting little sampling, and spin. Did you notice that over half of these 604 women haven't heard anything about the issue lately, yet 53 percent had a more favorable view of crisis pregnancy centers? Or that only 36 percent of these thought it "extremely important" that women have access to birth control regardless of their income? Or that exactly half don't see access in Texas as threatened?

    What I find more interesting is in all this spin about funding women's "health care" which largely means Planned Parenthood (which I believe is whose funding was cut off in Texas, not mentioned the poll), is they make a killing off abortions but don't do mammograms like Zero claimed.

    Here is the actual quote from Obama:
    “When Governor Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, there are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for not just contraceptive care. They rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings.”
    Here is what that organization does:
    Women can't walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics don't have mammography equipment. Planned Parenthood performs gynecological exams, including breast exams, and refers women to other facilities to have mammograms performed, much like women are referred to radiological centers by their gynecologists or primary care physicians.

    In addition to mammogram referrals, the group says it helps low-income patients find grants and assistance to pay for mammograms, such as through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, which is for women at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania also has a Breast Health Care Fund, which helps patients obtain mammograms. Individual clinics also may occasionally sponsor no-cost mammogram events — for instance, on Oct. 19, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, N.Y. plans to sponsor free mammograms at a mammography van at the health center. In south-central New York, a state program parks its mobile van outside two Planned Parenthood clinics.

    Nucatola said that “for many women,” Planned Parenthood is their only health care provider and “thus the only way they will get a referral for a mammogram.”
    I guess you thought they have mammogram equipment in every PP office? That would be prohibitively expensive.

    Obviously you don't grasp the concept of the president deliberately misleading women. But then, why would I expect anyone to see the irony of all those liberal men running around telling women what's best for them or how to protect themselves?

    Rape? What rape? Women aren't getting raped on college campuses and anyway, they can hit 'em over the head with their whistle!

    But he isn't at all. They can get a referral from PP. Why do you think his statement is misleading?

    How else would they get the referral?

    Oh the drama, access to referrals is not an issue either. Even in the Texas Panhandle they come to you. Planned Parenthood not needed!

    Great idea, you just have to wait until it comes to your area. One is all they have? They may need a lot more. Wonder if you need insurance or is it free? Don't bother I already know they bill your insurance first, but they do take Medicaid. No insurance, no money, no treatment. Yes I called them and awaiting their alternative funding plans.

    Not saying its not a great idea, just checking the facts before I get on board that this is a reasonable alternative to PP for poor females with no money or Medicaid, or the working poor who have no insurance period. The Texas Governor has already said no to Medicaid expansion so we will see.

Obama's war on women [ 18 Answers ]

Why does Obama hate women? Add to that the fact that Obama doesn't care about real life issues women are facing such as gas and grocery prices instead of $9.00 contraceptives, and I'd say Obama is the one waging a war on women, not Republicans.
