Concerned Women for America (CWA) revealed exactly how little concern
they have for actual women, much less for America, this week
when they sent out a letter attacking women
who defend our country for having the nerve to believe they deserve
full medical care after being raped. The mind-bogglingly vicious swipe
at female soldiers had a couple of doozies, including the claim that
allowing raped service members to access abortion “serves as a political
distraction” from national security, as if it’s in the interest of
national security to subject raped service members to forced childbirth.
CWA also pretended to care about female troops with blather describing
being raped and forced to bear a rapist’s child as merely “difficult
circumstances” requiring “compassion and support,” as if they themselves
aren't putting servicewomen who've been raped in infinitely worse
circumstances by limiting their access to abortion. (Perhaps Orwell
should have lived to write a book about the doublespeak of
anti-choicers.)
