When I listed Native American, this directly extends to Native American Women.

Tribal Law & Order Act: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/07/29/obama-signs-act-to-empower-native-americans-to-fight-rape/

Obama extends birth control coverage so the health care bill makes all health insurance companies provide BC meds...this was the most recent one: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2012/01/20/victory-obama-stands-up-to-bishops-and-protects-birth-control-coverage/

Obama admin removes definition of "foricable rape" : http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2012/01/06/finally-finally-fbis-forcible-rape-definition-is-officially-history/

Obama admin stopped funding of abstinence only program (although there is legislation to bring it back): http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2011/12/22/abstinence-only-its-baaack/

Repeal of DADT affects lesbian women in the armed forces.

Lily Ledbetter Act and so on and so forth. And when there is a bill put out there that is passed and benefits American citizens- half that population is women.

This doesn't even count the fact that the Obama administration has more women in high profile governmental positions than any other before him.

Yet you and a few others shit on that. You claim there are women who don't see that. If that's the case there are one too many uneducated women in America, which saddens me.
