We knew that Republicans had gone too far when they refused to let any women testify about access to birth control, but this week the war the right has waged on women was taken to a new level.
Yesterday, Democrats held a comprehensive hearing on women’s health, and did something shocking: They actually invited women to be on the panel. Republicans, always fearful of women’s opinions regarding women’s rights having legislative influence, refused to allow Congressional cameras tape the testimony.
While Republicans continue to find new ways to silence women’s opinions, women have refused to be quieted in the fight to retain our rights to decisions regarding our bodies and our health. Over ten thousand of you stood with us and signed our petition to make sure the GOP did not silence us.
The stakes are high and climbing, and it is crucial that we send the right a message: We’re not afraid of a tough fight.
Let Speaker Boehner and his fellow Republicans know that their scare tactics won't work this time by joining the thousands who have already sent their message to Congress and signing our petition.
With your help, they won’t win this war.
