| 2012 was a rough year for the Republican Party’s relationship with women. From Missouri Senate nominee Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments to the party’s efforts to cut funding for preventative care (particularly important for women seeking cancer screenings and the like) to Rep. Darrell Issa’s all-male panel on contraception mandates and religious liberty — and the subsequent attacks from Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing voices on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, whom Issa had barred from the hearing — the GOP repeatedly showed a less-than-impressive concern for women’s

Comments: The world has truly turned on its axis. Of course, without input from PIAPS on women´s issues, what can be done?

The White House’s Flickr account recently released a photo of President Barack Obama and his top advisers. The complete absence of women in the image is another reminder that females are underrepresented in Obama’s staff.
The world is upside down.

There are Republican women in both the House and Senate and no one but the MSM ignores any of them. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, anyone?

Liberals continue to falsely believe ALL women have the values of Code Pink (or academics that claim to be part Cherokee). I think they meant to say Republicans continue to ignore "hairy militant socialist women".
Democrats continue to be at war with females who have not yet emerged from the womb.

Well, whether or not you want to hear it or believe it, the GOP is perceived as anti-woman by a lot of women. The women I work with said they were insulted by Romney´s comments about single moms (among other things) --many of them were raised by or are single mothers. We´re not going to win over hearts and minds insulting people. It´s stupid.

Agreed, with today´s low information voters (aka morons), perception is everything. The Democrats prevailed with the phony "War on Women", and it evidently worked. So what does the GOP do, opt for abortion on demand and free contraceptives and day care for all?
The GOP will never out-pander the Democrats, on any issue, to any government-dependent voting demographic, ever.
So we´re toast.

Apparently ( and not from this article ), the bill now includes new protections ( ? ) for violence against illegal immigrant women , LGBT and Native American women attacked on reservations Cantor objects to language in the bill which gives Native American tribes jurisdiction over rape cases involving non Native Americans . Currently, federal and state law enforcement have jurisdiction over domestic violence on tribal lands, Again , not from this article, Cantor has been working with Biden to resolve the issue . The media does not report accurately and spins to the Democrat´s talking points , which always puts the Republicans at a severe disadvantage.

I´m sure they think they are somehow wiser because they had a screwed up childhood, but the fact is they missed a vital part of family life.

But rules are that new witnesses must wait 72 hours til the committe allows if they have useful testimony. Well the rules didn´t suit the Santa party.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Tokyo - Haruhiko Kuroda, the new governor of the Bank of Japan, delivered on his promise to drastically change Japan’s economic policy to end a long, debilitating era of deflation. The nation’s central bank announced on Thursday that it would double the amount of money in circulation and try to produce annual inflation of about 2 percent. (Snip) This major shift in Japan’s monetary policy is a stark contrast to years of what many economists said was a halfhearted battle to end deflation. Deflation is a damaging fall in prices, profits and wages, and it weighs on economic growth.

The most rigorous study to date of how much it costs to care for Americans with dementia found that the financial burden is at least as high as that of heart disease or cancer, and is probably higher. And both the costs and the number of people with dementia will more than double within 30 years, skyrocketing at a rate that rarely occurs with a chronic disease. (Snip) Behind the numbers is a sense that the country, facing the aging of the baby boom generation, is unprepared for the coming surge in the cost and cases of dementia. “It’s going to swamp the system,” said Dr. Ronald C.
