Republican war on women

Since January of last year, bills targeting women's health have been introduced in all 50 states. But women will remember who turned their backs on us and who voted to keep us healthy. On Election Day, women will be fighting back.

From 2011-2012, legislators in all 50 states introduced more than 1,500 measures targeting women's health, and 130 anti-women's health measure have already become law. The fact of the matter is the attacks on women's health are not fiction. http://www.womenarewatching.org

It's politics over public health. Texas Governor Rick Perry and Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell have been hard at work passing "emergency" legislation to eliminate women's health care in their states.

We've had enough. We're watching anti-women's health politicians like Govs. Perry and McDonnell and we will be standing up to their radical policies.

Already, 20 million women have received preventive care without a co-pay because of the health care reform law.
