That's an interesting way of putting it, in which "American people" are the over-privileged religious fucks and the "far left" are basically all women who work for private companies. If you don't think the ladies aren't paying attention to that, you haven't been paying attention to the Teahadist success rate in elections lately.

Oh, definitely. But, they country is even more sick of conservatives and anyone like them. We'll probably end up with one or two terms with Hillary, and whoever follows will almost certainly be even more liberal than she is. The right wing is too fractured to pose any serious challenge for the White House, and the Teahadist segment is far too extremist to ever have a chance.

Yes, the storied American tradition of Christians forcing women to behave the way they want.
Quote:Last I checked, women are still allowed access to contraceptives and abortions in this country. They just can't impose their wills on employers who have religious convictions against it and force them to pay for it.
Last I checked, medical benefits weren't a gift from the employer.
I have convictions against paying for wars, which is a zillion times worse than contraception, but this is a country in which the right have completely rejected any rational sense of priorities.
