Darrell Issa and the Republican lawmakers are waging war against women. They don’t want the insurance companies to pay for contraceptives (the pill).

Why do they think they are so superior to us? Why do they put women in such low esteem? Why are they declaring war on ovaries?

We are not second-class citizens.

I think they need a lesson on how the woman’s body works. Don’t they realize the pill is so much more than birth control? Maybe the insurance companies should stop paying for Viagra.

Foster Frise, who has donated millions of dollars to Rick Santorum’s campaign, stated that women should put an aspirin between their knees to act as birth control. I say if he thinks it works for women, why not men to stop their sexual drive.

Come November we can do something, by voting them out of office.
