We’ve only just begun!



In a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, Tea Partied House Republicans voted to ban abortions and defeated a Democratic amendment to create exemptions for rape and incest!

The New York Times reported that their vote was the “most restrictive abortion bill to come to vote in either chamber in over a decade”.

Guess who congressional Tea Partiers selected to lead their latest war against women – a woman…

Representative Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee(!?!?!?!)

Tea’d  Republican-dominated state  legislatures are marching to the tune of their congressional counterparts in the following states:

Texas
South Carolina
Wisconsin
Arkansas
North Dakota
Arizona 

Tea’d  congressional and state lawmakers may think they’ve got the upper hand when it comes to slashing women’s rights, but….

…after a 12 ½-hour filibuster, Democratic Texas state legislator Wendy Davis blocked her Tea Partied lawmakers’ latest assault on women’s rights with thousands of citizens rallying behind her on the first day of the special session!

We’ve only just begun!
