MSNBC's Schultz Insists There is a GOP 'War on Women'
On Thursday's The Ed Show, Ed Schultz insisted that there is indeed a "war on women" by Republicans as the MSNBC host responded to a recent interview by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in which is mocked Democrats for the scurrilous charge. At one point, Schultz absurdly thought it insightful to claim that, "ironically," Republicans deny that there is a "war on women" even though they "lied us into a war nine years ago," referring to Iraq.
Schultz teased his Thursday The Ed Show:
Good evening, Americans, and welcome to The Ed Show tonight from New York. The head of the Republican Party is calling the "war on women" "fiction." Tonight, I'll show you the facts. This is The Ed Show. Let's get to work.
Then came a clip of Priebus from Friday's Political Capital show on Bloomberg News:
-after Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars, then every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that Republicans have a war on caterpillars.
The MSNBC host continued:
The leader of the Republican Party says the "war on women" is a lie. Tonight, we will lay out the evidence and prove him wrong.
As Schultz began the show, he responded to Priebus's recent comments:
Reince Priebus says the "war on women" is fiction, but there were more than 1,100 bills introduced across the country last year to restrict women's health rights. So it's not just small-time lawymakers writing these bills either. Keep that in mind. The stars of the Republican Party are front and center in this war on women.
After claiming that abortion laws enacted in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia were evidence of a GOP "war on women," he ridiculously brought up Iraq:
Republicans, they just can't make stuff up enough to try to turn their position around. The party that - it's interesting, ironically, you know, if you think about it - the party that lied us into a war nine years ago, well, they now claim that there is no "war on women" in America.
During an interview with liberal Occidental College Professor Caroline Heldman, the MSNBC host predictably suggested that Priebus was comparing women to caterpillars in his mockery of Democrats:
Well, it sounds like the only way they can get out of it is to lie their way out of it, to be in denial, to say that there is no "war on women." How insulting is it that women are being compared to caterpillars? Or did you not take it that way?

Yep,there is a "war" on America women. We should all be so lucky

The average America woman outlives her male counterpart by 5.5 years. That is about 900 million extra years of life for current American women vs American men. Can you imagine if this were reversed? The MSNBC howling would make the Trayvon coverage look tame.

WAR ON WOMEN
Submitted by kinijane on Fri, 04/06/2012 - 8:51am.
How they love to mislead the news stories, war on women, I thought it was a war on abortion that was translated to birth control.
Nine years ago Ed was agreeing with H and B Clintion, Kerry and all the rest of the democrats that bought into the same information that Bush did, but he turned into a liar and they were just mislead. They voted for the war.
The real lie
Submitted by motherbelt on Fri, 04/06/2012 - 9:49am.
is that this is all about women's "health."
more than 1,100 bills introduced across the country last year to restrict women's health rights.
No one is fighting for a woman's "right" to cold medicine, or antibiotics, or even cancer treatment.
It's all about a woman's "right" to abort.
It's all about abortion.
Abortion is NOT a matter of "health" it is a matter of convenience. Period. Fewer than 2% of abortions are done for matters of "health." Dr. Demento (I forget his real name), the famed partial-birth abortionist, even admitted that more than 90% of his "late term abortions" were done simply at the request of the woman.
Call it a matter of women's reproduction, or women's convenience, or even women's physiology, but quit calling it a matter of women's HEALTH!

As for Special Ed, I don't know why people don't just sue MSLSD for slander. I still can't believe this cable channel still exists, it's worse than Pravda was in the old Soviet Union. Harder to believe still is that people watch this garbage and think it is reality. The world truly is upside down....
It's a war on sensibility, intelligence, and reason

Politically driven with a heaping side order of religious dogma. The church claims victimization on behalf of the federal government who forces them to cover contraceptive health costs. Despite the individual beliefs of Americans who work in religious institutions, the church apparently feels pushing its beliefs on others is okay, as long as the church has final word.
One thing is certain. Less birth control leads to more abortions. The end result is being ignored.

WRONG
And in case you're going to agitate that the site is a pro-life site, notice that the statistics are from Planned Parenthood's own affiliate, the Guttmacher Institute.
Despite the individual beliefs of Americans who work in religious institutions, the church apparently feels pushing its beliefs on others is okay,
Are you seriously saying that the Catholic Church, or any Church, for that matter, should disregard its dogma and cave to the "beliefs" of its employees?
But apparently the government pushing its beliefs on the Church, as long as the "others" agree with it, is OK.
Good grief.

CONCLUSION
Empirical study of the aggregate relationships between contraceptive use and induced abortion has to be limited to the few countries where reasonably reliable information exists on both. Despite this severe limitation, our review of the evidence provides ample illustration of the interaction between these factors. When fertility levels in a population are changing, the relationship between contraceptive use and abortion may take a variety of forms, frequently involving a simultaneous increase in both. When other factors—such as fertility—are held constant, however, a rise in contraceptive use or effectiveness invariably leads to a decline in induced abortion—and vice versa.

Ya! That's kinda what religions do. They expect their followers to, well, follow the beliefs of that religion. For that matter, it's kinda what Special Ed does. He feels that pushing his beliefs on others is okay. One difference I have noted, though. I have never heard of any religions calling those that refuse to believe as they do "morons" or "idiots" or "talk radio sluts."
The truth is that any employer expects it's employees to adhere to certain standards of belief. McDonalds expects it's burger fryers to not be anti-meat. I can't say if they still do it, but when I worked there ## years ago they allowed the workers some free food. Should I have expected they pay for me to go down the street to Burger King? Unfortunately they were not so high minded. They only offered to foot the bill if I chose to believe, as they did, that their food was the best. I had the option of going somewhere else...but I had to pay myself, then.
The church organizations do NOT stop their employees from using birth control, or getting abortions. They just say they don't wish to pay if you don't share their belief. How is that imposing their beliefs on others?
Have you stopped beating your wife, Special Ed?

Maybe Schultz does not remember how the Democrats tried to destroy Sarah Palin and her family in the run up to the 2008 election. The Democrats have a war on "life" with their love for abortion.

For the record, the Clinton administration said in January 2001 that Saddam had WMD and, thus, was "a clear and present danger at all times," i.e., an imminent threat.
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, who sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, are both on record saying the intelligence regarding Iraq was consistent from the Clinton administration to the Bush 43 administration.
If we were "lied into a war," then the lies originated with the Clinton administration.

Fornication and abortion are the real 'war' on women
Submitted by Slyrr on Fri, 04/06/2012 - 10:51am.
What's more demeaning to women, Eddie baby? Here are the choices, when you take the emotion out of it and boil it down to the bare facts.
1) Tell a girl/woman to abstain from sex before marriage, and tell the woman and husband to practice total fidelity after marriage - ensuring that unwanted pregnancies do not occur and that the woman is treated with respect and dignity at all stages.
2) Tell a girl/woman to fool around 'because there's no way to stop it', and tell them to use pills and chemicals to alter their body chemistry. Order them to insert plastic/rubber sheaths between their legs. And if pregnancy occurs, haul them to dingy clinics, strap them into blood-stained chairs and have doctors insert blenders and eggbeaters between their legs, tearing the baby to pieces, and throwing the mangled corpse away in garbage bags labelled 'surgical waste'.
It seems to me that the Democrats and the liberal leftists are the ones who are engaged in 'war' against women. They want to use women as sex slaves and then force them to kill the resulting babies that are the result of their whoredoms. Hollywood should be leading the charge to stop the exploitation of women, but they are symbiotes, feeding off the porn industry.

there is a war on women but
Submitted by ohio granny on Fri, 04/06/2012 - 5:26pm.
There is a war being waged against women but it is the democrats who are doing it. They also wage war against blacks, hispanics and other minorities. They have to keep them dependent to keep them voting democrat. If enough people ever see what the democrats are doing, the democrats will not ever win another election. They will lie, cheat or steal to win elections. That is why they don't want voter id's. It makes it harder for dead and ineligible people to vote.
Any woman who votes democrat is voting against her own best interest and the best interest of her family. The democrats think women are so stupid they can't see this. Unfortunately too many women are that stupid.
