We see them everywhere -- women in Congress and state legislatures, with law firms, on Fox TV, writing for so-called conservative publications -- women who are cheerleaders for the current crusade against females' access to effective pregnancy prevention measures and other critical healthcare.
I'm amazed every time I hear or read an attack by these women on their sisters.
First, because they are fighting so hard against their own interests and have such a low opinion of themselves as women.
Second, and even more astounding, is why we are seeing and hearing them at all. If they really do believe that women should be subservient to men -- especially to their husbands (and being good Christian or whatever women, they should have husbands, right?) -- without access to affordable reproductive healthcare and self-determination, what in the world are they doing in public office or having professional careers, such as TV personality, university professor or serving in any other public/professional position. Shouldn't they be home cleaning the house, doing laundry, having babies and fixing dinner?
Seems completely hypocritical to me -- and certainly not truly conservative.
