News from the War Against Women - II

Representative Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-WA) charged that Democrats were using “scare tactics to scare women” in order to win the women’s vote. This provoked a sarcastic response from host Chris Mathews, but for a rather more earthy response, read the delicious rant by ABL (Angry Black Lady) on Balloon Juice.  For an earlier post on this topic, look here.

The War on Women’s just a ploy

To win the votes of women.

It’s calibrated to annoy

The hearts and minds of women.

That is what Ms. Rogers said

And she should know, ‘cause she’s a woman.

It’s very clever how the Dems have led

Republicans to tell most women

That their body’s not their own,

That factors other than a woman’s

Health and comfort must be shown

Due deference.  These Democrats

Repeat the words they hear and women

Berate the GOP, and that's

The way their scheme is working – women

Allow themselves to be persuaded

That Democrats support a woman’s

Right to make a choice unaided

By men inimical to women.
