[QUOTE]Originally posted by raybond: [QB] The Latest GOP Assaults on Women By ThinkProgress War Room on Apr 27, 2012 at 5:05 pm The Republican War on Women Is Only Getting Bigger While continuing to deny there is any such thing, the Republicans continue their all-out war on women, their health care, and their families. Here’s the latest. All of the Senators Voting Against the Violence Against Women Act Were Republican Men Yesterday, the Senate passed the Violence Against Women Act by an overwhelming 68-31 margin. While every Democrat and all five female Republican senators voted to reauthorize and expand the landmark law, a whopping 31 of their male colleagues voted no. Meanwhile, House Republicans are going to be crafting a watered down version that leaves out important protections for LGBT people, immigrants, Native Americans, and others. It’s shameful that some Republicans apparently believe that all women are not entitled to protection from abuse. House Republicans even called the idea that all women deserve protection “controversial.” House Republicans Rob Health Fund for Women, Children to Pay For Student Loans Instead of asking Big Oil or millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share so student loan interest rates don’t double, House Republicans instead passed a bill today that paid for extending the current rates by outright repealing a preventive health fund that disproportionately benefits women and children. From the White House’s veto threat: Women, in particular, will benefit from this Prevention Fund, which would provide for hundreds of thousands of screenings for breast and cervical cancer. This is a politically-motivated proposal and not the serious response that the problem facing America’s college students deserves. This new attack was denounced just before today’s vote by Democratic women, including Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (CA). [/QB][/QUOTE]
