Democratic womyn are stupid. Romney and Ryan can't ban abortion nor
contraception. Even if Roe were overturned, it would not outlaw
abortion.
Prog girls! Ronald Reagan signed a law that made
abortion legal in California in 1967...6 years before Roe v Wade. If Roe were
overturned (and it won't be in my lifetime - the closest it came was in
Casey and Justice Kennedy changed his mind at the last minute), it would
not make abortion illegal. It would become a state issue.
No
President, be it Obama or Romney, can change that. Griswold (your right
to use contraception) cannot be removed by a President or a Congress.
As with Roe, even if Griswold were overturned (it won't be), the matter
would become one for the states or the Federal government could pass a law since contraception is shipped using the interstate system; i.e., it would fall under the Commerce Clause and could be taxed with that super-duper, newly-found Roberts Tax.
The ONLY way that abortion or contraception will ever be illegal in the US is if the Constitution is amended. Now, you need 38 states to ratify and it is a lengthy procedure, as it was both intended and designed.
Remember the Equal Rights Amendment? It was written by Alice Paul in 1923, but her history as a suffragette, who had campaigned for that Great Progressive Hope, Woodrow Wilson, in his first campaign for President needs must first be told. Like most Progressive Men, they use the work of the women and, once victorious, they pat the girls on the heads and say, "Run along and behave." The Fascist Wilson was no different in the thought, but far hideous in the lengths to which he would go to shut down Alice Paul and her friends.

Lilly Ledbetter ain't no Alice Paul
In the presidential election of 1916, Paul and the National Woman's Party campaigned against the continuing refusal of Wilson and other incumbent Democrats to support the Suffrage Amendment actively, which was introduced by Republicans. In fact, Republican Sen. A. A. Sargent of California introduced
a proposal in the Senate to give women the right to vote in 1896. The proposal
was defeated four times in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Two months after Wilson was narrowly reelected on a platform of "He Kept Us Out Of The War (one that he would break on 2 April 1917)," in January 1917. The National Woman's Party staged the first political protest to picket the White House. The picketers, known as "Silent Sentinels," held banners demanding the right to vote.
From the Alice Paul Encyclopaedia, "On the eve of America's involvement in the
First World War, the tactic was confrontational and audacious; the NWP
was the first group ever to picket the White House. Opponents would
argue that it bordered on treason. For Paul, whose single-mindedness
about women's equality had never wavered, America's involvement in a war
for democracy had no moral ground if the nation refused to grant all of
its citizens the right to vote.
The NWP picketed the White House for 18
months. Thousands of local women, unaffiliated with the NWP,
volunteered for the picket lines. While the public initially supported
the picketers, by April 1917 Wilson had declared war and support
plummeted. The threat of arrest became imminent.
In June, NWP
members Lucy Burns and Katherine Morey were arrested by district police,
charged with obstruction of traffic, and released. Twenty-seven more
women were arrested over the next several weeks. Soon, heavier sentences
were handed down and 16 women were required to serve 60 days at
Occoquan Workhouse, in Virginia.
By September, the House voted to
establish a House Committee on Woman Suffrage, and for the first time
both branches of Congress had standing committees to consider the
question of enfranchisement for women. Picketers were bolstered by the
news and more women continued to risk arrest and imprisonment.
Conditions at Occoquan differed little from conditions at most prisons
in the early part of the twentieth century. Cells were small, dark, and
unsanitary. Food was infested with mealworms. Prisoners were routinely
harassed and intimidated. Soon, however, it became apparent that the
suffragists, and especially their leaders, were being singled out by
authorities frustrated by the picketers' tenacity.
In October,
Paul was arrested on the picket line and sent to Occoquan. By the end of
the month, she and fellow suffragist Rose Winslow began a hunger strike
in order to secure their rights as political prisoners. Over the next
three weeks, three times each day, Paul and Winslow were force fed;
tubes were pushed into their noses and down their throats. In addition,
Paul was moved to a psychiatric ward where she was monitored day and
night by an attendant holding a flashlight up to her face. Lunardini
notes that "prison psychiatrists interviewed her on several occasions
and it was made clear to her that one signature on an admission form was
all that was necessary to have her committed to an insane asylum."
In a protest of the conditions in Occoquan, Paul's forced-feedings and housing int eh prison's psychiatric ward was becoming a liability to Wilson. This, combined with the continuing
demonstrations and attendant press coverage, kept pressure on the Wilson
administration.
By
November 1917, the ordeal was over and the women were released from
prison. President Wilson, who was wearied by the tactics of the NWP,
declared his support for the suffrage amendment in January 1918 and announced that women's suffrage was urgently
needed as a "war measure", and strongly urged Congress to pass the
legislation. When
the Senate refused to pass the bill, Paul once again resumed her picket
campaign. When 48 suffragists were arrested, a public outcry prompted
the women's release."
When the
Republican Party regained control of Congress, the Equal Suffrage
Amendment finally passed (304-88). Only 16 Republicans opposed the
amendment. On 4 June 1919, the amendment, having already been passed by the House, passed the Senate by a vote of 56 to 25 and was sent to the states for ratification.
There
were 56 Democrats in the Senate. 20 Senate Democrats vote FOR
(35.7%) and 17 Senate Democrats voted AGAINST ratification of the
Nineteenth Amendment (30.4%).
There
were 39 Republicans in the Senate. 36 Senate Republicans voted FOR
(92.3%) and 3 Senate Republicans voted AGAINST ratification of
the Nineteenth Amendment (7.7%).
There
were 213 Democrats in the House. 104 House Democrats voted FOR
(48.8%) and 109 House Democrats voted AGAINST ratification of the
Nineteenth Amendment (51.2%).
There
were 216 Republicans in the House. 200 House Republicans voted FOR
ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment (98.2%).
In 1920, after coming down to one vote in the state of Tennessee, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution secured the vote for women.

The Nineteenth Amendment Passed. Now, on to the Equal Rights Amendment....
The Equal Right Amendment, which was written by Alice Paul in 1923, was first introduced in Congress by Republicans Senator (Late VP) Charles Curtis and Congressman Daniel Read Anthony, Jr, the nephew of Susan B Anthony. The Republican Party included support of the ERA in its platform beginning in 1940, renewing the plank every four years until 1980.
In 1958, President Dwight Eisenhower asked a Joint Session of Congress to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, the first President to show such a level of support for the amendment.
Although he has written in private letters of his support, President John F Kennedy would not speak publicly in support due to opposition from labour unions. As a sap for feminists, he did sign into law the Equal Pay Act of 1963,
which banned sex discrimination in pay in a number of professions (it
would later be amended in the early 1970s, at the demand of feminists,
to include the professions it initially excluded) and secured an
Executive Order from Kennedy eliminating sex discrimination in the civil service.
Thanks to the lobbying of Alice Paul, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned workplace discrimination not only on the basis of race, religion, and national origin, but also on the basis of sex.
The ERA was then presented by the 92nd Congress (1971-73) to the state legislatures for ratification with a seven-year deadline for ratification. President Richard Nixon immediately endorsed the ERA's approval.
The 92nd Congress, in proposing the ERA, had set a seven-year time
limit for its ratification, which meant the ERA had to be ratified by 38
states by 22 March 1979 for it to become part of the Constitution. By
that deadline, only 35 states had ratified.
In 1978, the Congress approved a controversial joint resolution by a simple majority (not a two-thirds supermajority) that purported to extend the ratification deadline to 30 June 1982. President Jimmy Carter
was asked to sign the joint resolution, which he indeed did, although
expressing doubt—on purely procedural grounds—as to the propriety of his
doing so. During this disputed extension, no additional states ratified or rescinded.
The legislatures of four states rescinded
their ratifications before the original 22 March 1979 deadline. A
fifth state, South Dakota—while not going quite so far as to
rescind—adopted a resolution declaring its ratification to be valid only
up to and including 22 March1979.
Wow! The Era Rights Amendment went down, but an Amendment banning abortion and contraception is just around the corner according to Democrats!!!! Run for the hills with your cases of Lybrel, Ortho Micronor, Ella, and a semi-flat load of Trojan EZ in flourescent colours!!!
So, the Equal Rights Amendment went down in flames, but was it even needed? The Fourteenth Amendment covers men AND women.
Also, let's just touch on one more thing: The Lilly Ledbetter Act of 2009.
Despite what President Obama claims, Ledbetter did NOT guarantee "equal pay for equal work." That was already the law. It merely state the statute of limitations.
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (Pub.L. 111-2, S. 181) is a federal statute in the United States that was the first bill signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 29, 2009. The Act amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The new act states that the 180-day statute of limitations
for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets
with each new paycheck affected by that discriminatory action. The law
directly addressed Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 550 U.S. 618 (2007), a U.S. Supreme Court
decision that the statute of limitations for presenting an equal-pay
lawsuit begins on the date that the employer makes the initial
discriminatory wage decision, not at the date of the most recent
paycheck.
The Ledbetter Act dealt exclusively with statute of limitations. By the way, Ms Ledbetter testified under oath in a deposition that she was long aware of the wage disparacies and did nothing until after she left employment.
IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.
THAT WAS ALREADY FEDERAL LAW, PROGGIES SUCKAS!

Been a whole lot happier without her face around
Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout,
Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out
She hold the shotgun while you do-si-do
She want one man made of hercules and cyrano
Been a whole lot easier since the bitch is gone
Little miss, little miss can’t be wrong
Little miss, little miss, little miss can’t be wrong
Ain’t nobody gonna bow no more when you sound your gong.
Little miss, little miss, little miss can’t be wrong
What’cha gonna do to get into another one of these rock ’n’ roll
Songs?
Other peoples’ thoughts they ain’t your hand-me-downs
Would it be so bad to simply turn around
You cook so well, all nice and french
You do you brain surgery too, with a monkey wrench
Little miss, little miss, little miss can’t be wrong...
I hope those cigarettes gonna make you cough
Hope you hear this song and it pissed you off
I take that back I hope your doing fine
And if I had a dollar I might give you ninety-nine
Little miss, little miss, little miss can’t be wrong...
