With all of the anti-woman legislation being introduced by the GOP, including redefining rape, it is nice to see a strong and brilliant woman like Nancy Pelosi fighting for women’s rights! Nancy Peolosi earns this week’s HWA. Pelosi described the GOP push as the “most radical assault” on women’s reproductive rights “in our lifetimes.” She said it was crucial that pro-choice forces and Dems kick up enough noise to ensure that it dies in the Senate: “We have to make this issue too hot to handle.” Pelosi added that the unreconcilable philosophical differences between Republicans and Dems on abortion left Dems no choice but to adopt a scorched-earth approach to the war ahead. “We don’t have a set of shared values,” she said. “We have to fight this out in the public domain, so when we move to the Senate it has no popular support.

I’m glad she’s taking this seriously and wants to squash this nonsense fast
I’m also tired of both men and women demonizing her for doing her job–talk about institutionalized misogyny!
Yes she gets crucified by the opposition.
Really petty Nasty stuff. She’s got guts to speak out on this issue and Somebody needs to!!
I just want this issue to be put to bed… Ah me in my little old blue state, tragically naive to the rest of the country…
Even worse is that she is not getting enough vocal support from her own party.
Powerful Pelosi pointlessly pilloried, pushes past poltroons, practices piquant poise.
Vapid vigilantes, vilifying valiant Veracity.
Michael makes me mighty merry!
