The Scum of the House.

The House of Representatives (Controlled by the GOP) has blocked contraception and abortion for raped female soldiers who are in our nation’s service. And they say there is not a war on women.

From a wire service dispatch yesterday:

            Republican leaders like to talk big about supporting our troops, but sometimes actions speak much louder than words – especially when those actions are frankly horrific:
Republican Senators John McCain, Scott Brown, and Susan Collins all support an effort by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, to expand abortion access for military women who are raped. But despite bipartisan support in the Senate, Shaheen's proposal may not make it into the final version of the 2013 defense authorization bill—because House Republicans oppose it...
Under current law, if a State Department employee is raped, her government health insurance plan will pay for an abortion if she wants one. But if an Army medic serving in Afghanistan is raped and becomes pregnant, she can't use her military health plan to pay for an abortion. If she does decide to get an abortion, she will have to pay for it with her own money. And if she can't prove she was raped—which is difficult before an investigation is completed—she may have to look for services off base, which can be dangerous or impossible in many parts of the world.

This is beyond outrageous. And tragically, the problem is all too real. The military reported 471 rapes in 2011, and yet the true number might be much higher, given it’s estimated that only 13.5% of rapes and sexual assaults in the military are actually reported (source).

Let’s examine that:

1.     These women were fighting for our liberties.

2.     The law of the land is that abortions are NOT illegal.

3.     They were raped while in the service of our country.

4.     They are going to have to carry the child of some sexual attacker because of the callus and inhumane attitudes of the “Christian Right” members of the House.

5.     It is incredibly dangerous to try and get an abortion in a war zone.

I for one denounce the Church, the members of Congress and all those who side with this as being godless devil worshipers. You do not deserve to be called Americans any more. You are the worst plague ever inflicted upon a people.

You are evil and scum. Oh yes, you are also Republicans.

There is a war on women going on in our country and it is being waged by the Republican party.  It is time to vote them out of office at every level.  Send the GOP a message, quite siding with the radical religious right, or you will not exists as a political party in America.
