All those red states do not swing the Presidential election but they do determine the Legislative direction of the country.

Vaginas need to be uncovered for further scrutiny and a master debate team should get on this issue immediately.

Religions exist soley to incite fear and hatred.

Obama did the only thing he could. Those fuckers can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with.

If that doesn't offend you, you may not be a liberal, but just a Democrat. Ouch.

The entire conversation is so wholly inappropriate. You should be offended WITH me, not against me. Why are we even still talking about this? There are drones killing babies, our president has a foreign policy that the far right L O V E S....why aren't we telling them to give everyone healthcare, fund it, let drs and patients make their medical decisions privately and move the fuck on so we can give some deserved time to something besides whether or not some religious BUSINESSS can or can't opt out of the cost of basic healthcare specifically for my lady business because the answer should be NO, separate your business from your religion, consider my lady business officially moved to "ALSO MY OWN PRIVATE GENERAL HEALTHCARE" not some sub-genre, or lose your tax breaks.

The answer should be: YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYEES HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF AGE, GENDER, RACE, ORIENTATION BECAUSE I SAID SO. SO STFU and GTFO so the adults can start talking about something that isn't as obvious.

1) Your argument is not invalidated by your penis. Perhaps a few of the women you work with have given you a reason to believe this to be true but what I understand most feminists want from men are empathetic allies. We need the voices of both men and women to be present in this discussion. In far too many instances, it is the voices of women that are absent http://www.thenation.com/blog/166311/rep…
Or silenced. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20…
What we need is a healthy, open dialogue. If you don’t understand why women are upset- you might want to ask. Hopefully you’ll listen and come to better understand our anger.
2) We can celebrate the results of this victory while still being deeply frustrated by the means through which the end is achieved. Affordable access to reproductive health options is essential for the social and economic wellbeing of women and indeed all people. However, as @11 mentions, this compromise perpetuates ideas about women and their bodies that are part of a greater narrative that harm women. We need strong leadership to stand up to the religious right and deny them the discriminatory privileges they’ve been granted for far too long.

That means all those lawsuits currently making their way through the court system, and potentially heading to the Supreme Court, aren't going anywhere. It means all those hysterical threats from, for example, the Catholic bishops aren't going to stop. Calls for civil disobedience, for hunger strikes, even for armed insurrection—those aren't going to end.

The author is correct that the lawsuits won't stop. But they also won't have a leg to stand on under these rules either. Many people are against birth control in this country. That is a reality. But the other reality is that their mere disapproval won't affect women's ability to access contraceptive care simply because they disagree with what someone else is doing. A big victory in my book.

If the authors, publishers and users of textbooks know that they will be subjected -- honestly, fairly and thoroughly -- to review and critique by eminent scholars who believe in the American (free enterprise) system, a return to a more rational balance can be expected.

Obviously people are being dramatic and extreme because they arn't getting everything they want. It's an emotional reaction because people had unreal expectations and disappointment hurts.

MTFO. You know who doesn't move the fuck on? Conservatives, and how does that work out for them? What's our next battle? Progress moves forward, it doesn't whine about yesterday, beezies.

Are you under the impression that they're getting a price break as a result?
