We cats have not commented much on the GOP's war on women. Mostly because we think that if female Americans aren't willing to rise up and oppose the Republican Party to protect their reproductive rights, screw 'em. What do we care? We've been fixed. No one has power over our reproductive destiny, thank God.
The Republican attack on abortion has been so overwhelming, so repellent, that we cats can barely believe that no revolt has ensued. This morning on NPR we heard a story about all the jobs that are going begging in Aberdeen, South Dakota. They can't find enough people to work there. Our thought was, "Why would anyone want to live in a state in which the government butts into your private life?"
On the other hand, it bothers us to no end that helpless people will have their lives messed up by the GOP's skewed priorities. The Republicans rode into their House majority on the basis of "jobs, jobs, jobs." Since then, though, they've done nothing but legislate against women — and in particular, poor women. Picking on the weak is despicable. We cats HISS.
