Yes Linda you are a woman but that does not automatically mean that you are for women’s rights.
She said that she would vote reluctantly for the Blunt Amendment which would allow employers to not cover contraceptives, saying it is a matter religious belief. However, businesses must obey the law they cannot discrimination, they cannot pick and choose what laws they will follow. Strike one.
She said that she is pro-choice but at the same time she would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, sorry Linda, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t hide behind states’ rights, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is a Constitutional issue and not subject to state laws. Strike two.
She said that she would not require religious affiliated hospitals to give the morning after pill to rape victims. Again the courts ruled that separation of church and state does not apply, both state and federal courts including the Supreme Court have ruled that religious institutions are not exempt from the law. They cannot hide behind separation of church and state because one a religious affiliated hospital accept government funding, they must obey all laws including the non-discrimination laws. Strike three
Lastly, will she cut funding to WIC, Head Start, TANF or SNAP programs that help women and children?
We do not know because she will not release the details of where she will cut the budget. In addition, she has the backing of a state anti-abortion group. So I do not know how she can say that she is in favor of women’s rights.
