Republicans, and their women, cannot understand that [View all]

if a woman cannot control her body, her health, and especially her fertility, she cannot control her life. Jobs will mean NOTHING if employers will not hire her because she is at the mercy of one pregnancy after another.

"Are you married?" "How are you going to work when you have children?" "Will you stay home from work when your kids are sick?" "I am post menopausal, cannot have children, and they will hire ME before you."

Those are real interview questions I have heard back in the 60s and 70s. Young women, how many times have you heard those questions in interviews?

These will be the questions asked once again if the War on Women by the Republicans and they gain control and legislate their let's go back to the good old days philosophy.

This the KEY to the War on Women.
