Another Republican, Fuck You, Slut, to the women of America

HERE IS THE WAR ON WOMEN


House Democrat Defends Sex-Selection Abortions, Says It Shouldn’t Be “Criminalized”…




Gendercide, how progressive.

Via Washington Examiner:


Rep. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, a candidate for U.S. Senate, defended sex-selective abortions and criticized Senate Republicans for opposing abortions instigated because the fetus is a girl.

“To many cultures, particularly the Asian culture, this presented the propsect of a doctor grilling an asian woman for example,” Hirono, a Japanese immigrant, said at the Netroots Nation convention. Hirono made clear that she did not oppose sex-selective abortions. “How can we criminalize a decision that should be up to the woman and her doctor?” she asked.

Hirono also maintained that “there really is a war on women in Congress.” Although President Obama also opposed the ban on sex-selective abortions, Hirono’s position is farther to the left than Obama’s.
 
Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers.

Murray, who has repeatedly accused Republicans of waging a “war a women,” is one of the worst offenders. Female members of Murray’s staff made about $21,000 less per year than male staffers in 2011, a difference of 33.8 percent.

Of course, Congress is exempt from most of these kind of laws anyway.

Classic example of a double-standard Congress. We have to "do as they say" and "not do as they do."

Nope. It's a case of taking proper advantage of the situation. It's no different from the "if Buffett thinks he should pay more in taxes he's free to write a check" and that's just bullshit. It doesn't work if a few people do it, particularly if it costs them money that makes them less competitive. Until the rules say do it this way anybody who's not from Florida will do it the smart way.
