The fascist hypocrites in the WI GOP want to send the issue of women's rights back to 1955. Thinking of starting a small business: Think back alley abortionist...

The hypocrisy of the GOP is incredible:

They care more about the rights of a possibly fertilized egg than the rights of a fully grown woman, disabled person, poor child, minimum wage worker, minority, or God forbid, a union member (a hush goes over the Tea Party crowd)...

First they took away compulsive, comprehensive sex ed, now they make it as difficult and embarrassing as possible to obtain clean, safe, affordable and close family planning services for women (and young girls) who may have gotten pregnant because they never received proper sex ed.

They don't see the importance of teaching teenagers about proper safe safe practices, but they feel the need to impose the financial benefits of heterosexual marriage and the joy of abstinence.

They don't trust health teachers and nurses to talk to teens about sex, but it's fine with the GOP if kindergarten teachers carry guns in their purses.

They refuse to regulate the ownership or use of guns, but they will stop at nothing to try and regulate hormones and human sexuality.

They don't want you to be able to get the morning after pill from a physician, but you can feel free to buy a semi automatic weapon from any ole' dude off the internet.

They tell you that life starts at conception and that all life is a gift from God, even in the case of rape or incest, but your life isn't worth a damn if you trespass on the neighborhood watchman's lawn.

They tell you that government is too big and that local control is the way to go, but then make laws in Madison that restrict the role and rights of your local elected officials (especially those in Democratic cities).

They tell you Obamacare is wrong because the government has no business being involved in your healthcare decisions, but then turn around and stick their noses in your uterus and tell you how to use it (and with whom not to use it with).

They tell you that the government shouldn't tell children how to eat in schools, but then turn around tell the poorest children what they can and cannot buy with their food stamps.

They tell you that this is a free country and that you are innocent until proven guilty, then require you to show an ID when voting because they assume you are lying and cheating (we are not all Ryan Brauns).

They tell you that this is the greatest country in the world and repeat the word, "freedom" all the damn time, but arrest you if you sing a verse about freedom in the state rotunda.

The right wing of the Republican Party is interested in only one thing: controlling the masses and keeping the status quo. It's time to wake up and start fighting back...
