** While the following doesn’t represent the views of all Republican or Conservative constituents, it does represent the actions (or lack of) taken by Republicans in Congress based on their voting records. **

Women: “Can I have birth control?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “I couldn’t get birth control so I got pregnant. Can I get an abortion?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “You prevented me from having an abortion so I’m carrying the fetus but my employer won’t provide reasonable accommodations and is threatening to fire me. Would you please pass the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “I had the baby but I’m out of work. Can I have WIC and food stamps until I get back on my feet?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “I found a job, but it doesn’t offer me insurance. Can I have government guaranteed insurance?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “My child got sick and I got fired because I missed time caring for him. Can I have unemployment?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “I’m having a difficult time picking my child up after school consistently. Can we fund after-school programs?”

Republicans: “No!”

Women: “I’m prepared to work to support my family. Can you ensure a full-time job’s minimum wage is enough to do that?”

Republicans: “No! But what’s the matter with you and your family that working two or three jobs can’t lift you out of poverty? And what kind of mother are you letting someone else watch your child while you work? If your child doesn’t do well in school or gets into trouble it’s entirely your fault! You shouldn’t have had a child if you weren’t prepared to take care of one.”
