Re: women's rights... what's that?
Well I can say they're huge fools and a-holes(I don't want to use worse terms, though I can)... Like Medusa said, they probably keep their own wives on birth control... -_-"Fair means that everybody gets what they need. And the only way to get that is to make it happen yourself."
Since I adore cats, I might write something strange or unusual in my comment.Cats are awesome!!! ^_^

Re: women's rights... what's that?
Freedom of Religion... Well, unless you are a minority religion, while many political figures follow the majority, and implement laws that showcase their religious beliefs even if you do not follow that religion or agree with its teachings. Sounds accurate. I mean, as you all know, "America was founded Under 'God' by Christians who would be ashamed of this country for losing its origins"
No offense to any Chrisitians on this forum, at least you are civil human beings. I'm always disgusted when religion enters politics in some sly form or another."In the shade now tall forms are advancing,
And their wan hands like snowflakes in the moonlight are gleaming;
They beckon, they whisper, 'Oh! strong armed in valor,
The pale guests await thee - mead foams in Valhalla.'"

Re: women's rights... what's that?
Oh boy, it's fun to get excited, isn't it?
Right up until you take a look at the two laws under discussion in the article and discover that the article it full of raw methane.
The D.C. Law, The Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act had been amended prior to voting to allow organizations to NOT provide contraception if against their religious beliefs.
The second law (H.S. Resolution 43), the one that - according to that nearly illegible article would allow women to be fired for using birth control - actually does exactly the opposite. It forces employers to cover birth control for their employees, even if it violated the employer's religious principles.
Don't believe everything you read. Sometimes people write shit.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Here's HJ Resolution 43:
Passed House without amendment (04/30/2015)
(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Congress disapproves the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act of 2014 (D.C. Act 20-593), signed by the Mayor of the District on January 25, 2015, and transmitted on March 6, 2015, to Congress pursuant to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
D.C. Act 20-593:
- amends the Human Rights Act of 1977 to protect individuals from discrimination by an employer, employment agency, or labor organization, based on an individual's or dependent's reproductive health decisions; and
- defines reproductive health decisions to include a decision by an employee, his or her dependent, or the employee's spouse related to the use or intended use of a particular drug, device, or medical service, including the use or intended use of contraception or fertility control or the planned or intended initiation or termination of a pregnancy.

Re: women's rights... what's that?
Oh... I see that you are right. I confused the bulleted items describing D.C. Act 20-593 with the summary of H.J. Resolution 43.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Now I can join in.
What a bunch of bastards!

Lol, it was poorly constructed/formatted...I had to read it several times to be sure, and I was already familiar with the DC act, so I was confused at first.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

We'll know we are getting closer when all that is left to talk about is "human" rights.
