Paul Ryan Not good for women?... Lets dig a little.

Thanks to a Friend who sent me an e-flyer from UltraViolet claiming 5 "Horrifying" things to know about Paul Ryan.  Gotta love it when the left says the right is fear mongering then come off with words like "horrifying".  

Well how bout we take just a little look at the 5 things women should be horrified by shall we?

1. Ryan voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

On the surface I myself found that part in me that remembers my mom being discriminated against time and time again for trying to succeed in a "man's" field (construction supply). Going to business school at nights only to be rewarded how? cleaning toilets.  So let me preceed this by saying don't you dare tell me I DONT KNOW, I know ALL to well first hand.

That said there is ONE major issue with the Lilly Leadbetter Act.  (anyone? anyone?)   Oh, sorry many might not have taken the time to read the act and the preceding acts it amends.  In a nut shell .. it wipes out the statute of limitations for filing and accruing of damages for a discrimination law suit essentially allowing for decades to pass before filing.  So just how is that about Fare Pay?  It's not its about litigation and law suits.  So why shouldn't it be voted down?  There isn't a rational reason that it shouldn't the key word being Rational.

2. Ryan Opposes Abortions even in cases of Rape and Incest. 

Presuming they are referring to the Sanctity of Human Life act.  That in short says Human life begins at Fertilization and has all the rights and restraints of  constitutional law.  This means it cannot com in direct conflict with row vs wade. It's parent bill has been active in Missouri for over 20 years and wow lookie there Abortions and Birth Control are still legal ... imagine that.  My best guess to this claim actually comes from a comment Ryan once made when asked

3 He *Really* wants to get rid of Planned Parenthood. 

This one is dead on ... but there's more to it.  Planned Parenthood is currently funded in large part by the federal government to the tune of 1.05 Billion dollars and Obama is pushing to bump that number to 1.2 Billion dollars.  Tax dollars that could be used other places or just not used at all to give abortions and free birth control is becoming a voice of those of who see the difference in Choice and Need.  Its this simple really.  If you choose to have sex it's Your, not governments or taxpayers, RESPONSIBILITY to have safe reproductively responsible sex. If you cant afford the cost of a condom maybe its not a wise idea to risk unprotected sex and a pregnancy you can afford even Less.  Now for all the people who still scream think about this ... Planned Parenthood's Founder Margaret Sanger believed in Eugenics, Sterilzatioin of "feeble minded", segregation of "inferior genetics", as such Planned Parenthood was formed in Harlem to help prevent "irresponsible and unintelligent breeding."  The words of Planned Parenthood's NOT mine.  And were funding this because?

4. He would Criminalize some forms of birth control.

Is Ryan (along with the majority of America) against Obama Care?  Yep not a huge secret there given the tax burden to pay for it, the detriment it will have on small businesses and the fact that never in the History of the United States has the government Ever said you HAVE to purchase Anything!  Well not till now.  As for Criminalizing birth control ... well that's a HUGE assumption and one not exactly factual given this claim is based in concerns about the Sanctity of Human Life act.  This is presuming the slippery slope but the presumption doesn't acknowledge that birth control is protected by law and as such untouchable by the Sanctity of Human Life act.  This one is well Stretching it and that's being gracious.

5. Also, He'd Outlaw In Vitro Fertilization -Seriously

Wow they really must like the Sanctity of Human Life act (that's sarcasm btw).  This is One Hell of a presumption.  Why?  Because when In Vitro Fertilization is done Several eggs are fertilized and someone (presumably a qualified doctor) will choose those embryos "most likely" to survive and become a fetus and thus a child.   What happens to embryos that are fertilized but not deemed fit or unneeded?  Two things happen they are frozen or disposed of.  Outlaw? NO... does the possibility exist that fertilization clinics might have to take on a slightly different stance.  IE instead of fertilizing several eggs its a one at a time process but again the same law has been in effect in Missouri for OVER 20 years and well their In Vitro clinics haven't been run out of business.


Look here's what it all boils down to ... Ryan is very pro life and wants to get funding of abortions and birth control out of the federal governments debt and where it rightly belongs in the hands of the Individuals and states.  Does this mean hes "Anti Woman's Rights" no not by a long shot what it does mean is that Liberals and Pro Choice groups are scared of Ryan and the energy he brings to the campaign.
