Mike Pence's Stance On Women's Rights

[The Great Goose]

A staunch pro-lifer, Pence is well-known for leading the fight to defund Planned Parenthood in Congress and signing a restrictive anti-abortion measure, which was later blocked by a federal judge. Pence's voting record shows the right-wing politician has rarely championed women's rights.

Sounds like a good bloke. Both men and women are fed up with this baby slaughter.

Here's what we in Indiana know of Mike Pence with his 34% job approval. We're glad to be getting rid of him. Things were not looking good for him here this election. He got a nice little way out of running on his record here.


Ten times Pence didn’t make Indiana great again
Posted By NUVO Editors on Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 3:53 PM

• Sad face

Indiana Governor Mike Pence is Donald Trump’s pick for vice-president — and that’s a sentence we can’t believe we’re actually writing.

And that’s because, in the eyes of many Hoosiers, Pence has not exactly made Indiana great, as Trump famously claims he’ll do for America. In fact, Pence was removed from presidential consideration by the GOP after a series of … let’s say unfortunate events.

Readers beyond the great Hoosier state, here’s a primer on Mike Pence and all the ways he has not made Indiana great again.

1. Pence signs religious freedom bill, RFRA (March 2015)

Oh, RFRA. This embarrassing bill was an economic and public relations disaster, although it did lead to this very entertaining interview with George Stephanopoulos and our gov.

2. Pence makes Indiana businesses very, very angry (March 2015)

Angie’s List, Anthem, Cummins, Dow AgroSciences, Eli Lilly and Co., Emmis Communications, IU Health, Roche Diagnostics and Salesforce Marketing are just some of the businesses that spoke out vocally against Pence post-RFRA.

3. Pence hires out-of-state PR firm to “fix” Indiana’s image (April 2015)

Post-RFRA, and facing an image crisis — including a travel boycott by multiple cities like San Francisco — the state government makes Hoosier PR companies very, very angry by hiring global PR firm Porter Novelli instead of an in-state firm to fix Indiana’s image. The state that works, indeed.

The contract was unexpectedly and quickly cancelled.

4. Pence signs HEA 1337, making Indiana most restrictive state in nation for reproductive health (March 2016)

HEA 1337 outlawed abortion entirely for a variety of reasons, adds additional barriers to obtaining an abortion, and requires each aborted or miscarried fetus be buried or cremated.

The ACLU and Planned Parenthood immediately filed suit, and Judge Tanya Walton Pratt issued a preliminary injunction Friday that stopped the bill from going into effect.

5. Pence tries to create his own news agency, Just-IN (January 2015)

In an attempt to “ streamline” the dispersal of news from state agencies, the Pence administration contemplated the creation of its own news service to be called “Just IN”.

The public outcry compared the plan to state-controlled media associated with communist countries.

6. Pence attempts to “ban” Syrian refugees from Indiana (November 2015)

Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, France and the immediate assumption that the attacks were orchestrated by terrorists posing as Syrian immigrants, Pence was one of the first of several governors to try to prohibit the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Indiana.

U.S. District Court judge ruled it unconstitutional.

7. Pence turns down preschool fundraising (October 2014)

The Indiana Dept. of Education was in the process of applying for a federal grant to fund preschool education when in the final stages of the application process, Pencehalted the application and refused the grant, questioning its administration.

One year later, Pence decides fed money for preschool is a good thing.

• Indiana welcomes all — but does Pence wish we didn't?

8. Pence closes Planned Parenthoods, adding to HIV outbreak in Scott County (March 2015)

Because of new restrictions and loss of funding through Medicare, Planned Parenthood is forced to close several locations around the state including Scott County. 79 cases of HIV arose — and Pence waited more than two months to declare a state of emergency for the county.

9. Pence disenfranchises State Superintendent Glenda Ritz (ongoing)

Before Pence got settled into the governor’s chair, he created the Center for Education and Career Innovation, which became a mirror agency to the Ritz’s Department of Education. CECI was just the beginning of the rift between Pence and Ritz. Although he dissolved CECI in 2014, Pence supported the State Legislature’s push to weaken Ritz’s office, including attempts to make the Superintendent of Public Instruction an appointed position instead of an elected one and removing the superintendent as chair of the Board of Education.

10. Pence rejects EPA’s Clean Power Plan (August 2015)

Known as a “friend of coal,” Pence penned a Letter to President Obama asking him to reconsider the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, claiming the plan’s call for a 30 percent reduction of carbon dioxide emissions nationwide by 2030 would be detrimental to Indiana.

Environmental groups called Pence’s reaction premature and irresponsible.

I belie he co sponsored some sort of women's rights bill. Don't know what was in it though..

The awesome thing about Trump is, he's debunking the myth of the women's vote. He's not back peddled on this choice, but in fact gone DEEPER into offending the largest voting block.

When he gets elected, this will prove that women aren't the feminist lesbians that we are led to believe.

NEWEST L.A. Times Poll: Donald Trump Edges Ahead of Hillary Clinton

breitbart.com ^ | 15 Jul 2016
A five-day tracking poll backed by the Los Angeles Times shows Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton, 43 percent to 40 percent. The California newspaper hid the actual poll numbers in the eighth paragraph, including the news that Trump has the support of at least 30 percent of Hispanics. ... Also, the poll shows Clinton with support from only 51 percent of Hispanics, and Trump with 30 percent support. That leaves 19 percent uncommitted, which suggests that Trump’s Hispanic ballot-box support may be significantly higher than 30 percent. In 2012, GOP candidate Mitt Romney scored only 27 percent of the Latino...

Lots of us by the way despise Hilary, but you jackasses gave us a clown to oppose her. Can't count on you people for anything but nonsense. Can't count on the democtatic party in america, can't count on yours. And still don't get why you think fighting HIV from any source could not be assisted in part by planned parenthood. But then again, you've been trained to salivate when you hear "planned parenthood".

Don't you worry your little reactionary head about it darling: Trump/Pence, we're already "great" "again". Can'tcha just feel how the world "respects" us now. You go girl!
