Women being attacked by the Right Wing is of course about politics.

There is no basis for any of it otherwise.  


There are no physicians coming forward to make testimony to a House or Senate Committee about the dangers facing women in regard to the legislation being passed in some of the states.  There is also no basis for such actions by any of the states.  There is no foundation for any of the legislation oppressing women and removing their civil rights.  This is all a social conservative agenda without any sound reason for it to proceed, but, the GOP doesn't care about that.  They care about wedge issues and that is what all this is to develop into.


I heard a statement that was truly uninformed and basically stupid.


"If the government can force insurance to carry contraception coverage, can they force any to purchase it and use it?"


Well, to the least talented among the media, THAT has already been decided.  One of the questions asked of attorneys when Roe v. Wade was heard, "Can the government order the imposition of abortion on women?"  Yes, one of the nine asked that question. 


The answer was, "No."


Given Roe v. Wade is the law of the land in the face of States believing otherwise, that is PRECEDENT and such questions are irrelevant to the topic of states removing Civil Rights from women.


Yes, all the legislative agendas of the Right Wing even though they pass the State government boils down to Civil Rights for women based in privacy and self determination of one's life.


Somewhat related is Governor McDonald?  Yes?  The Radical Right Governor.  I really see him running for Veep with Romney.  He is positioning himself to carry the Tea Party because Romney can't.  The social conservatives are McDonald and the fiscal conservatives are Romney.


The GOP HAS TO GO THERE, otherwise, they won't even have their base turning out in the national elections.  It is also easy to argue if McDonald and Romney stay on this strange message of right extremism, they sincerely aren't interested in winning the Federal Executive Branch, so much as maintaining and advancing the GOP in the states.  Romney is looking to pivot from this disaster he is in, but, in reality he is most probably stuck with his current image, message and agenda especially given his choice for energy consultant.
