Pelosi: There is a war on women By: CNN's Jessica Yellin and Kevin Bohn
Washington (CNN) - House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi told a summit of female activists she believes Republicans are engaged in a war on women and women's rights.
"There is actually a war on women," the minority leader told several hundred activists attending the Women Money Power Summit sponsored by the Feminist Majority Foundation. "Abortion is one issue but contraception and family planning and birth control are opposed by this crowd too. Understand what is at risk here," Pelosi said, referring to proposals promoted by the new House Republican leadership.
Pelosi's criticism echoes warnings by other progressive activists who argue the new House Republican leadership's budget cuts disproportionally target programs for women's health and low-incomes women's services.
Pelosi identified three bills pending before Congress which she said take aim at women. One, HR-3, would restrict women's access to abortion and eliminate federal funds for abortion in all circumstances. A second, the stop gap spending measure passed Thursday by the House, would eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, including for health checks for sexually transmitted diseases. And the third, the House Republicans' proposed budget for next year, would completely overhaul Medicare and Medicaid. Pelosi argued that proposal will end Medicare altogether.
"This is not reform. This is the same old ideological turn back the clock for women- end Medicare, end Medicare. Are you ready for that?" Pelosi asked the crowd.

Holy S*** this is too easy.
1. show video of Pelosi saying this.
2. Show every anti-Bachmann, Palin, etc talking head condescending and mocking GOP women.
3. Show GOP logo.
Pelosi is an idiot.
Imagine how far over the edge Nancy would go if she was smart enough to understand how to Goggle the term, Islam. Talk about a “war on women”.
Yeah, it’s called feminism. Thanks Sub-Driver.
She’s channeling Ted Kennedy from the grave during the Robert Bork hearings.
The rhetoric of the left never really changes.
there is a war....on parasites
Hey Nanzi, this is because there are no women in the
Republican party........right?
Oh, there are, and they are waring on them selves?
Nanzi demogogues the demogogues.
“There is actually a war on women,” the minority leader told several hundred activists....”
Yep, they are called female Republican political candidates.
I just keep thinking. Does she really think she is a human? I mean of course Republicans care about their women not like some Democrats we all know.
Says the loud mouthed leader of the party that constantly trashes Palin, Bachman and any other conservative woman they can think of.
Actually, Feminism is a war on women. It’s an attempt to destroy femininity and make women into men.
They have to pre-empt the questions as to why our college classes are 60% women, yet they still get affirmative action...
Really, Nan?
“...the minority leader...”
E P I C F A I L
Feminism it is! Worst thing women ever bought into.
