... I definitely think that a lot of right wing men are just throwing a giant temper tantrum because, despite the Medicaid birth control debacle, Obama and congressional Democrats are gutting an anti-feminist project that they’ve been working for years on. Jill has it right to compare the picture of the signing of the Partial Birth Abortion Act with the picture of the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Act. ...

Legislation Effecting Women: Now With Input From Women
