Democrats are counting on their fight against the so-called “war on women” to motivate their base at the polls in November. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sounded the call on the Senate floor: “Remember last year’s government shutdown that nearly tanked our economy?” she asked. “That fight started with a GOP effort to hold the whole operation of the federal government hostage in order to try to force Democrats and the president to let employers deny workers access to birth control. Well, we rejected the hostage-taking. Democrats said ‘no.’ The president said ‘no.’ The American people said ‘no’ to this offensive idea.” We wish more voters would reject the offensive idea of Democrats lying about birth control all the time.
