Is she joking?!?Reader comment on: Meghan Clyne on the Women's Vote Submitted by ben (United States), Sep 3, 2012 22:30 The war on women is far larger than reproductive rights. The Republicans opposed the Lily Ledbetter act almost unanimously. The Republicans generally oppose allowing women to serve in combat roles in the military. The Republicans oppose an equal rights amendment to the constitution which would say that women and men have equal rights under the law. The amendment is only three states short of passing, and it hasn't failed due to Democrats. The reproductive rights issue may be the easiest to soundbite, but it isn't close to the only way in which the Republican Party is hostile equal rights for women.
