Rep. Walsh and his assault on women

We, as women, are under attack.

Go Cosmo. I mean the magazine and I don’t often say or think that. Cosmo just had a short article about Rep. Joe Walsh and his position on woman’s reproductive rights. He is against women having abortions even when their LIVES ARE IN DANGER. Do you understand the implications of this? As the Cosmo writer observes, he would prefer that women die instead of getting an abortion.

Because Rep. Walsh is a man, he will never get pregnant. He will never face that difficult decision. And he should have no part in deciding whether women should have the right to choose. The attack on women right now is horrific.

Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut after she testified about birth control in front of congress. Representative Akin wants to classify rape as legitimate or not. Whatever that means.

Women in my extremely liberal home state, Washington, might get denied access to Plan B at certain pharmacies if the Republican candidate for governor is elected. (Please donate money to Jay Inslee to prevent this from happening in Washington State and soon, because the ballots are out.) We cannot let the white, conservative men take control in the United States. The time to move forward is now. We cannot move backward.
