Excellent article ....

… It has been a violent, sad year marked by mass shootings and police violence and acts of terror and a seemingly endless supply of vitriol and anxiety. But while that series of events may have felt like a random, scary blur as we lived through it, it’s coming into stark and horrifying relief at year’s end thanks to the blaring optics of our presidential-election cycle…

This moment, this election, these years represent the death throes of exclusive white male power in the United States. That the snarling fury and violence are contemporary does not make them less real than the terrors of previous periods; it makes them more real, at least to those of us living through them. And the presidential-primary contest, while absurdist and theatrical, is reflecting very real fury and violence in the non-electoral world: the burning of crosses and black churches, the execution of black men by police, the resistance of male soldiers to women in elite combat positions, a white man with a history of rape and violence against women [calling] himself a “warrior for the babies” after killing people at an abortion clinic, and a younger white man killing nine black churchgoers with the explanation “You rape our women, and you’re taking over our country.”…

Whatever their flaws, their political shortcomings, their progressive dings and dents, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton mean a lot. They represent an altered power structure and changed calculations about who in this country may lead. It is not coincidence that after seven years of a black president people are calling for lynchings at Republican rallies. It’s not some random quirk that eight years after a woman almost became the Democratic nominee, Republican candidates are crowing about their commitment to making pregnancy compulsory and accepting the endorsements of those who support violence against abortion providers.

This is our country in an excruciating period of change. This is the story of the slow expansion of possibility for figures who have long existed on the margins, and it is also the story of the dangerous rage those figures provoke. Listen closely, and you’ll hear the acknowledgment coming directly from the Republican candidates. Here was Marco Rubio in Tuesday’s debate: “What’s at stake in this election is not simply what party’s going to be in charge but our very identity as a people and as a nation.” This is not a dog whistle. This is a statement of fact…

… Clinton, like Obama before her, isn’t carrying just her own baggage, but will stand in as the symbolic target for those whose fury at increased female autonomy has been building. In a nation where women who were not permitted to cast votes still live and breathe, her campaign, as Ms. Clinton has herself declared in other contexts, is living history. If she wins, she — and we — will be forced to do battle with this rising, chilling, ever more open threat from those who feel enraged that their country is no longer their own. I fear that there’s a lot more terror ahead of us.

Read the whole thing ...

"In a nation where women who were not permitted to cast votes still live and breathe..."

A woman of legal age could vote nationally in 1920... and in numerous states and locals well before that.

There may be a couple alive that couldn't vote before 1920... it's doubtful though.

It's still NO reason to vote for hillary.

No.  We've always had the same issues.  Always.  Each generation needs something to rally around and we keep returning to the same ills.  We never let anything heal or allow people to move at their own pace.  We have to do it as a group.  And the ones who do not move as quickly are labeled and called out.

I will vote for the best candidate regardless of race or gender.

Damn, it's gonna be hard.

It's no secret that the GOP candidates for President are waging a war on women...even the token woman in the race, Fiorina. I can't think of a single GOP candidate, including Rand Paul, who has not outright stated opposition to Planned Parenthood. That's because large numbers of GOP supporters are fundamentalist "Christians". That fact really has nothing to do with Hillary's candidacy, although she has been a vocal advocate for the rights of women throughout the world for decades. Oh, right, I'm sure the Africans miss being exploited for their resources and labor.

Oh that's sooo much better......I look forward when this crazy federal government crashes into the hard rocks of reality and all these money sucking parasites are left to feed themselves and ultimately starve . They can't keep printing money, socialism is a fail of a huge order of magnitude. Fiat currency is a drug which keeps fools believing in magic....Bernie the magician can not save this smelly dying elephant.

War on women? What a freaking joke. Just because MANY people don't think tax dollars should go towards the murder of unborn INNOCENT children, the libtards come up with WAR ON WOMEN. What about the women's WAR ON THE UNBORN?

You libtards are some of the sickest sons-of-bitches on the face of the planet. Saying you're doing something to save and protect children while at the same time approving of their murder while still in the womb. Sick, sick, sick sons-of-bitches!

If you have a better definition of when life begins....offer the same, but for the Average American the Supreme Court has defined the same. Now, each month by God's design an egg is lost.....is God a sick sob? When a 16 year old kid has a nocturnal emission, is he a sick sob? At what point does a woman lose her own body to an old angry white man who wants to control government to control her body and health decisions? Somebody is sick.......and the voters repeatedly have made it clear who is sick.

We call my daughter's dog.....box of rocks. Sometimes you just have to laugh. Look up the Hyde amendment.......calling someone a leftist and then a nazi is as funny as not understanding the Hyde amendment......You do need to take a course in political concepts.....air bags are comrades, forcing woman to have the government make their health decisions are freedom fighters, but the folks who protect the rights of a woman are nazis. Sorry. The Supreme Court is far from perfect, but they define the law. You just need to hit a book.

Gawd you're gullible.

http://www.newsmax.com/t/#!/newsmax/article/639516

Here are four ways public funds can pay for abortions:

1. Health insurance exchanges developed through Obamacare provided participants with coverage at reduced or subsidized rates, but the plans were supposed to prohibit coverage for abortions. Those insured were required to use personal funds to pay for abortions instead of through the insurance plans.

Yet a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review of 18 health insurance companies in the exchange programs showed they didn't actually follow through on this requirement, according to the National Review. Abortions were paid, often without any itemization of expenditures reported.

2. Insurance companies doing business in 28 states were under set standards that covered abortion services, according to the National Review. Individuals who had coverage from them, whether they self-paid for abortions or the insurance companies covered the cost, were automatically paying a part of their premium to cover abortion services. In those states, there were no health insurance plans that did not cover abortions.

3. Regulations for the national health care plan completed in 2013 required that every participant in an exchange plan pay an additional amount on top of the regular premium amount to fund elective abortions, regardless of age or gender, according to The Heritage Foundation.

The insurance company would then use those funds rather than federal funds to pay for abortions. There was no opt-out. If you participated in the plan, you would be paying for abortions.

4. Obamacare regulations required health insurance providers include coverage for essential community providers for low-income participants, LifeNews.com reported.

Among these essential providers were those providing family planning funds, including Planned Parenthood clinics. Planned Parenthood provides more abortion services than any other organization in the U.S.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/04/how-planned-parenthood-actually-uses-its-federal-funding/

So, here's what we know.

During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2014, the most recent for which data is available, Planned Parenthood affiliates around the country received $528.4 million in government funds (a combination of state, federal and sometimes local government dollars), according to the organization's own annual report and information it's required to share with the IRS.

Those federal dollars were the single largest source of money coming into the organization and its local affiliates, by far. Another $305.3 million came from nongovernment sources, about $257.4 million reached the organization after private donors and foundations made contributions and bequests. The organization also raised another $54.7 million in fees charged for its services. So, government funding — with federal dollars comprising the biggest portion of this part of the organization's budget — are absolutely critical to Planned Parenthood's total operation.

Again the Hyde Amendment does not allow federal tax dollars to fund abortion. You as usual were wrong. Planned parenthood as clearly disclosed by Ms Richards testimony before Congress did not spend one red cent of federal money on abortions. Finally, what a private insurance company funds is not the Government. Trying to bootstrap a subsidy for lower income folks choosing an insurance company plan is not federal funding for Abortion. Now for Bob.....no.....your sitting on the top of the fence paradigm is pedestrian at best. Truth exists. Lies exist. Being able to distinguish the two requires something more than giving credence to lies to achieve this moronic paradigm of balance from atop the fence.

How naive... lol. Who is defending the ins corps in the scotus against the little sisters of the poor? The govt and corps effectively colluded/merged to force through the biggest fascist program in US history. You can argue that fed funds go in the left pocket of pp and abortions are funded out of the right pocket... but no reasonable person buys that. It requires wilful ignorance to believe otherwise.
