Nice try...

Appearing after Becerra on CNN, Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, said “it’s important that we take care of women” and have “real discussions on women’s health care” but “get off the abortion conversation. Women have a whole lot more other issues than just abortion. ... Let’s talk about the other things that are happening in this world.”

There's a reason we call them RePukes.

We get a lecture to help us understand that being second class citizens isn't so bad.

At least pets can get medical care.
Women can't.

We can't be letting those silly little wimminfolks make decisions for themselves about their own health and bodily autonomy! What a ridiculous suggestion!

Surely, God doesn’t mean what He said. You won’t die. No! But that carefree existence you had will surely end.

We've got nothing if we can't make our own decisions about our own bodies.

This is THE most important issue for women. You reducing us to forced breeding has made it such.

I can muster up at least a molecule or two of respect for people who take a stand for something they sincerely believe, even if I think their stance is dead wrong. But when you go on TV to DELIBERATELY lie and mislead people about the OBVIOUS reason for your stance, my respect for you will immediately dip to a level several rungs below my respect for cockroaches.
