The Republican's war on women is, I believe its an opening salvo in a war against sexuality...

1. That's what many people have been trying to point out for years...

...but for most people the signs were too far below their radar to believe it.

There used to be talk about finding common ground between the pro-choice and "pro-life" camps, but those efforts always failed completely because ONE side would never bend, particularly when it came to contraception and contraceptive devices.

Why would they do that when it could help prevent abortions? Because the real motivation was that it was the sex that was wrong, and contraceptives would only encourage it by "removing the consequences".

Anyone could see this when talking to "pro-life"ers: they would get the angriest, just red-faced, teeth-gritting, spittle-flecking apoplectically furious, when the topic got onto people having unauthorized sex and getting away with it.

This isn't a temporary overreach. It's a long-term project that needs to be watched and beaten back over an equally long term.
