NYT Editorial Board. The War On Women 2015

Republicans scoff at accusations that they are waging a war against women. But this should not obscure a basic fact: The ability of women to control their reproductive lives is essential for their health, careers and equality.
Hence trying to remove this basic right is a direct attack; to be in control of ones own body is fundamental. Reducing women to organisms under state control,  is a usurpation of women's rights. If this is not a "war on women" then I don't know what is.
If you cannot exercise your rights, then in effect it is a removal of rights
The start of 2015 finds no letup in the attacks on a woman’s constitutionally protected right to make her own childbearing decisions. Republican lawmakers and organizations devoted to dismantling reproductive freedom have succeeded in shrinking the already inadequate number of abortion providers, making it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for women — especially young and poor women — to obtain safe and legal abortion services in large swaths Texas and other parts of the country.
republicans are perpetually habitual liars the only thing they've said that's true is they are republicans.  when you are wearing blinders and only see what you do and are oblivious to what happens on the side you are irresponsible and derelict in your duties as a public servant it is either from incompetence or deliberate intent in some case both apply, but to keep denying that we the people are unable to see what they are doing is insulting the overwhelming majority and the women they impose their will on.
