9. Most Likely It Would But I Fear Women Would Pay The Largest Price.

The entire conservative agenda is about stripping women of their ability to control their lives. I am stunned by all the legislative activity that will or or is doing just that.

Unequal pay for women, attacks on family planning, corporate policies, suggestions by conservative activists that sex outside of marriage be criminalized, et al is meant to drive women out of the work force and back into the home. If ultra conservatives and churches get there way a woman will not have a burka thrust on her, but her life options will be reduced by laws and administrative policies of government and business.

In many ways women are being pushed back to square one and conservatives seem to be determined by telling women shut up or we will shut you up. Recent events where draconian anti abortion and anti family planning laws have been passed woman have lost significant parts of their health care but their freedom of speech has been squashed.

I do believe women will have to openly confront these barbaric men eventually.
