No abortions allowed BUT NO TO FOOD STAMPS TO FEED THE CHILD BORN and no jobs bill either

In Texas, they just closed a third of the clinics which provide abortion services.  This past Friday, Food Stamps were cut by 5 Billion dollars at a time when a quarter of people on Food Stamps are kids.  So, You must have the unwanted or unaffordable children but we will not allow them to eat.  Then we have the ongoing GOP craziness to stop the child and parent from getting reasonably priced medical insurance.

Forcing mothers to bring unwanted children into the world so that congress can starve the poor ones?

Priceless

WAR ON WOMEN: Women still second class citizens in the workplace: The Facts

A report from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation found that so far, women's earnings have not kept up with their gains in educational attainment. Even though women earn more advanced degrees than men, their wages still trail far behind. Catalyst reports that female MBAs earn, on average, $4,600 less than male MBAs in their first job out of business school. Women financial analysts take in 35 percent less, and female chief executives one-quarter less. Salary gains that female managers acquired in the 1980s and 1990s have dropped off, and men's salaries are pulling far ahead once again. Women start behind and never catch up.

TEXAS; Women denied the right to vote - Big Time disinfranchisement of women

Watts worried that women who use maiden names or hyphenated names may be surprised at the polls. “I don’t think most women know that this is going to create a problem,” the judge said. “That their maiden name is on their driver’s license, which was mandated in 1964 when I got married, and this. And so why would I want to use a provisional ballot when I’ve been voting regular ballot for the last 49 years?”
