The Fictional "War On Women"

I'm sure that every election year you hear the Democrats and Feminists across the country proclaim that Republicans are somehow waging a "War on Women", and to no surprise many left-leaning websites such as The Huffington Post and Politico confirm these claims to be somehow accurate.

There are many explanations as to why liberals make blatant attempts to try and expose conservatives for waging this fictional war, and two obvious reasons are most likely because, one: they gave up debating us on economics since they can never win on that issue, and two: simply so they can win the woman vote. The Democratic Party claims to embrace women, yet they ignore many of their own politicians sexual behavior towards females which include Anthony Weiner, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, and most notably Bill Clinton, just to name a few.

Despite the hypocrisy on their part, Democratic elitists continue to push this fictional conservative "hatred" on women, claiming that Republicans oppose a woman's right to choose, are against equal pay for women, and oppose any type of measure that reduces their healthcare cost.

Lets now analyze every point made that way we can debunk these liberal myths, and take the time to accurately explain our positions on these issues.

First and foremost, almost every politically informed citizen in this country knows that the overwhelming majority of the Republican Party supports the right to life, and oppose any measure that promotes abortion which KILLS innocent lives. As conservatives, we believe that the greatest gift is life itself, and therefore it should be preserved. As far as incidents such as rape, many Republicans in congress have introduced bills that would ban abortions with the exception of rape or incest, despite the fact that abortions from rape account for less than 1% of all abortions. Unfortunately, all these bills have been met with strong Democratic opposition. We conservatives do not want to limit the rights of women, but when it comes to the life of an infant, we overwhelmingly support life over death. Besides, that infant deserves to live just as much as you do.

Another issue that I often hear liberals complaining about is this so called "equal pay for equal work" campaign which basically states that for every $1 a male makes, their female counterparts only make 77 cents. While this statistic may be true, there are many factual reasons to explain this, and, "Republicans and big businesses discriminate against women" is not one of them. For one, this 23-cent difference in pay doesn't account for occupations, hours worked, or education- it is simply the difference between average earnings of all full-time men and women. Many economists and various studies have already confirmed that when all of the important details are factored in, the gap in pay narrows down to around 5 cents. Additionally, men typically tend to pursue job opportunities in engineering, manufacturing, science, and mathematics - which all have a higher payout than other jobs - while females look for more flexible work especially if they are a mother. As a matter of fact, evidence even shows that women under 30 who are single, make 8% MORE than their male counterparts. Also, one has to wonder, if businesses were discriminating against women, wouldn't all males be unemployed? Wouldn't companies only hire women if they knew they could save 23 cents of every dollar made?

And finally, another issue has come forward regarding healthcare prices. As many know, Obamacare requires insurers to charge men the same for their premiums as women. Conservatives strongly oppose this notion, not because we "hate" women, but because you have to add a sense of reality to this as well. Unlike men, women deliver babies, and maternity care is nothing cheap. Additionally, female bodies are much smaller and are more prone to health issues. On top of the preventive care that women seek often, they also tend to live longer than their male counterparts. Sure it's great that females live longer, but with more overall visits to the doctor, and all the benefits that they receive, women should be responsible for the costs.

It's ironic that these issues only are addressed when the numbers show favorability towards males, but when other issues such as automobile insurance (males pay more than females) are brought up, the feminists and everyone in between go silent. The truth is that we shouldn't divide ourselves based on gender, but instead embrace it and accept reality for what it is.
