\"birth-control-pills\"The war on women!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the news this election cycle – you see and hear these words: the war on women. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I personally dislike the term war on anything [war on drugs, war on poverty, etc.] because they are not wars and they should not be seen as a brutal entity like war. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But in this case – it is a real war on women – an assault – an attack.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some snippets of what women are subjected to in today’s political climate. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[There is simply not enough room in a short book to do justice to all that is being said and being waged in this war – and I’d never get the book done as the assault on women continues daily.] <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • States are mandating intrusive and non-necessary medical procedures such as vaginal probes, abdominal ultrasounds and more in order to have a legal abortion. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Why? Allegedly to make sure women understand and know about the fetus before they abort. And – oh yes – the women have to pay for these expensive procedures. And in some states, the woman must have the video of the procedure in front of her [but she is “allowed” to close her eyes.] <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • There are laws allowing a physician to lie to a woman about fetal abnormalities. In other words, it is legal for the physician to say the fetus is fine when, in fact, it is not. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    • Women are still being blamed for any attack if they are wearing what is perceived as sexy clothing – and that “sexy” is in the mind of the person saying it is! <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      If you are raped or assaulted, and the rapist\/attacker says you were wearing sexy clothing – I guess you “were asking for it.” Sexy clothing seems to be short skirts, tank tops, or bathing suits. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Women are to be blamed if they are out after dark – apparently the only reasons to be out after dark are to get attacked? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      • Besides, as some politicians are now saying, you can’t get pregnant if you are raped…your body somehow shuts down the reproductive system… <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        And so you are not allowed to have an abortion if you get pregnant from a rape – because you apparently were acting in a consensual manner as your reproductive system worked! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        And, and, and…….  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • We are again hearing derogatory terms used for women who are achievers but not for men who achieve. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • Woman who have college educations [or more] are presented in a negative light.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          There have always been more derogatory terms for older women, but rarely for older men. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          These words and thoughts have been a part of the culture for a long time – but now they are front and center! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          AGAIN! <\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

          It's deja vu!!
          \n\t<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

           <\/p>\n

          As Santayana once said: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n

          Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n


          \n\t\t<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

          We need to educate today's women and young girls as to our history so they never again become victims of this particular "war."<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

           <\/p>\n

          No more deja vu!!<\/span><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
