At least the GOP's War on Women is going well.

Good news ladies. If your employer is a cheap skate or has some weird religious hang ups about sex your right to control when you get pregnant, you're in luck!

The trump administration just got the health and human services to grant a sweeping exception to employers to stop paying for your birth control.  It's now entirely on you, isn't that awesome! 

Now you can pay who knows how much a month for the privilege of not getting pregnant.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

If you're pro-life but somehow think this decision is a good idea, please please please explain your rational to me.  If your rational in any way has a religious component in it, good luck, you're going to fucking need it.

Let's be clear, this decision is to fellate Trumps fervent religious right constituents, nothing else.

What staggers me is this administrations hell bent ambitions on entirely wiping out Obama's legacy without thinking about the misery they're going to cause.

This is universally a bad decision for women.  This will result in more unintended pregnancies and more abortions. We're at an all time low for abortions because women have access to birth control!

Even worse, it's going to affect the poorest women the most. This are the women who can least afford to get pregnant.  Never mind the republicans' never ceasing assault on welfare programs for children.

As a father of daughters, I'm looking at the reality that it's FUCKING 2017 and my daughters will have less access to contraceptives then their mother and grandmothers.

This doesn't surprise me.  This is yet another fantastic example of the republicans gleefully taking away women's rights.

If you know a woman who identifies themselves as a republican, please ask them to explain their parties positions on women.

Ask them about pay equality.

Ask them about paid maternity leave.

Ask them if they think it's okay that their employer can decide to deny them free access to birth control.

Grab your phone and simply google "Republicans stance on rape" and prepared to be truly horrified.
Seriously only do that in an incognito browser.. I can only imagine what the great google machine will think of searching for shit like that..

Then sit back and watch the cognitive dissonance as they try to hold their idea of the republican party and are faced with the reality that the party is actually universally hostile to women's rights.
