COMMENTARY | The make-believe Republican war on women initiated by liberals took another warped turn this week. The Daily Caller reports the "Rock the Slut Vote" campaign is attempting to mobilize female voters against fiscally conservative candidates. There is absolutely no basis for the alleged Republican bias on women's issues. Fiscal conservatives are justifiably opposed to charging taxpayers for the birth control desires of others. Susan Emry started the group in response to the Sandra Fluke incident. The overblown story based upon the whining of a single woman unwilling to take responsibility for her own needs highlights the childishness of the far left.
The "slut" label commentator Rush Limbaugh cast upon Fluke may have been crass, but does not constitute an attack on women. Once again liberal hypocrisy is at the center of a movement designed to garner support for the President Barack Obama. The "Rock the Slut Vote" website chastises conservatives for stereotyping women and demeaning Americans who do not share their point of view. The group is guilty of engaging in the same type of behavior they criticize Republicans for allegedly promoting. A checklist published on the "Rock the Slut Vote" website defines terms and supposed double meanings to adjectives used by conservatives.
Emry's comments during the Daily Caller interview, stating that Republicans are attempting to "shame women" into staying quiet about reproductive rights are incorrect. Conservative lawmakers are not attempting to outlaw birth control pills and condoms. Liberals are guilty of making a massive break with logic when claiming that opposition to taxpayer-funded birth control equates to labeling all sexually active women as sluts.
The "Rock the Slut Vote" mission to inform women before the 2012 election and "turn the country blue" is rife with partisan rhetoric and biased information. The liberal group seeks to further divide both women and the nation with their unreasonable progressive mindset. Republicans do not seek to turn back the hands of time to an era when women did not have control of their reproductive choices or receive equal pay for equal work.
Emry's group encourages supporters to voice their outrage to Congress. Outrage over what perceived injustice remains unclear. There is no legislation attempting to make birth control or abortion illegal. Women who utilize such services just cannot rely on taxpayers to foot the bill.
