Are women under attack?

You tell me, when our congress wants to do nothing more than eliminate or defund to the point of being ineffective programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, WIC, Workforce funding and Planned Parenthood............all programs that benefit women by either keeping them healthy or from being hungry and homeless it seems to me that Women are the target. I would like to say that in this 21st Century that we treat all workers the same, but Women make only .77 for every dollar a Man makes for doing the same work. Yes some could say it is the fault of the very women that are being paid less as they don't negotiate as well for wages and men do but is that fair? Women have lost ground in the political process as well, we have fewer women in congress, at every level of government. It is no coinsidence that we are under attack. Women need to organize now more than ever for the our own future and the future of our children.
