Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) held a one-sided town hall meeting on gun violence (panelists were the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) . Apparently he didn't he didn't care for his actual constituency participating in the discussion:
Look. I don't carry water for the Democrats, but you LOVE to single out bizarro Democrats and post stuff about them as though they represent WHO the Democrats are. You're wrong.
But, when I point out stuff that Michell Bachmann says that represent WHO the Republicans are, I'm RIGHT! The FACT is, the Republican party has moved right - WAYYYYY right. So right, in fact, that your hero Ronald Reagan would be considered a liberal by today's right wing.
The left, on the other hand, has remained steadfastly left of center. That's what Obama is, after all - a center left Democrat. Deal with it.

Obamas not a center anything... there isn't a single centrist policy or stand he's ever taken on anything. He makes Bill Clinton look like a hard core Republican.

I have no idea what your little rant has to do with another example of Dems waging war on women. I got to hand it to you though, for a guy that raises hell about every obscure proposal or idiotic thing a Republican says that was a pretty ballsy rant.
Just this month, we got right wingers in Arkansas, North Dakota and Kansas competing against themselves about who can pass the most unconstitutional antiabortion law - and they DID. Those states have virtually OUTLAWED abortion - which is, of course, BLATANTLY unconstitutional.. I thought right wingers LOVED the Constitution. No, huh?
Oh yeah, the dreaded way up inside a women vaginal probe makes a comeback, too. If you need links, I can provide them.. But, I don't think you'll argue that these states AREN'T doing that. I think you'll argue that they're hero's because they're saving babies..
Have you even read the Conservative Constitution, Ex? They have a right to probe woman's privates. And the state has a right to tell you who is equal, who is NOT, and what men can do to pursue their own happiness.
All men are created equal, and that means white and conservative. No ex slaves or gardeners, and NO women! Lincoln is dead and states rights are back. Now get with the program.
Listen to conservatives tell you about their rights and you have none, except what they tell you you have. What's so hard about that?

But as long as ex is paying for their health insurance he has a right to have a say in what they do with their bodies.
If the laws passed are in your view unconstitutional then of course the courts will over-rule them . But I don't believe they are unconstitutional based on the Roe v Wade decision. In my view ,that ruling is ripe for reversal . Don't tell me as a supporter of Obamacare that you give a fig about the 14th amendment due process 'right to privacy ' that was the justification for the decision... and as you are aware ,even the Roe decision decided that the state has legitimate interests in protecting both the pregnant woman's health and the potentiality of human life at various stages of pregnancy.
So unless you tell me that the invasive aspects of Obamacare like the state maintaining a medical data base based on mandatory extraction of information in violation of the doctor -patient relationship ,are unconstitutional... then I don't buy your belief that a women's right to privacy are violated by state laws restricting abortion.
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.
I would like to think of myself as a strong willed and independent African American woman, and have been recently dating a person who is from Iran. Now for the most part things are great but I have a feeling that he doesn't understand the personality traits of Black Women vs.the women he has dated...
There was movie I saw, back in like the early 70's. The story line was a prisnor of war camp along the German/Swiss border or German/Austrian border. The POW's build a glider and launch it from the ridge of the top floor roof, using a tub that is dropped from several stories to provided the...
The Iraq War has been awfully quiet these days. I read historical documentaries about other wars and, every time there's a war, It would cause much panic and it would all be on the news and everything. Officials would be all over the nation trying to find recruits and signs are up.
But the Iraq...
