March is Women's History month. Next Tuesday the world celebrates the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, are four of at least 15 countries where this is an official holiday. The tradition sees men honoring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, and colleagues with small gifts. However, in the US, we only celebrate mothers. And Mother's Day isn't even a holiday.

On this 100th anniversary, OUR legislature is working overtime to create laws that are anti-woman and anti-family. The "fat cats" want to do away with the health care reforms just enacted. And, H.R.3 basically requires girls and women to become mothers if they become pregnant from being raped. (Please visit http://bit.ly/eRdkSs). Then they plan to defund Head Start and supplemental food and health care programs that support fragile families. Once you have the rapist's child - tough.

This must be coming from a third world dictatorship, you say. No, this is coming from our "Christian" republic. What is it about women that this legislature hates so much?

The Bible doesn't support bringing a child to term. It actually shows no value for a child until the second month after birth. Much less a fetus. Leviticus 27: 3-7

These "fat cats" say "Don't you dare repeal that tax cut for the wealthy!" But they don't really care about the rug they're jerking out from under somebody else. Do you? - Gordon Clay
