Wilkow!: Who Is Really Waging the ‘War on Women’?

Democrats often accuse Republicans of waging a “War on Women” regarding their views on abortion and funding for organizations like Planned Parenthood. But now a growing number of conservatives are calling out what they see as far more substantial damage done to the pocket books of American women thanks to this administration. Conservative commentator Celia Bigelow writes on TheBlaze contributors page this week: 

President Obama has forced young Americans into what I like to call the “Great Youth Depression.” Only 6 in 10 young Americans are currently employed, half of which are working full-time. Since President Obama took office, average graduating student loan debt is around $28,000, and student loan default rates have reached an all-time high of 13.1 percent.

I guess President Obama’s consolation to unemployment and indebtedness is free birth control. Yippee! You might not have a job, but at least, well you know…

What isn’t funny is that this is the reality President Obama is forcing many young women into.

Youth unemployment among women has steadily risen from 14 percent to 15.2 percent since the election. It is particularly heinous for young, black women who are faced with an unemployment rate of 26.4 percent.

The labor force also shrunk from 52.7 percent to 52 percent since the election, and 101,000 young women have totally given up looking for a job.

Executive Director of the Independent Women’s Forum Sabrina Schaeffer joined ‘Wilkow!‘ Thursday to talk about modern feminism and how women are doing under this administration that, despite claiming the feminist mantle, pays male staffers on average 13 percent more than women.

    OMG I’m sick of women not understanding what women are facing in the world. First of all most of us could care less about abortions because we aren’t getting them. However RAPE is an issue teenagers like Jane Doe in Steubenville, OH, to women in the military are facing.
    One in three women in the military is sexually assaulted, that’s worse than the rape capital of the world in Africa. This is under Obama, why aren’t women hitting him with this, it’s his military?
    So let’s worry about pay but not sexual assault that most women will not even report because of the backlash.
    Feminist and democrats are the biggest problem for women. http://www.theusmarinesrape.com/HideTheTruth.html

    Both sides are allowing women to be raped. Just look at the US military. Congress and the Senate are well aware of the problem of military rape and are doing nothing! There are more rapes in the US military than in the rape capital of the world in Africa.

    War on women is just an easy way to Divide and Conquer Americans. The more you spit up the American people the easier it is to control them. Simple. Keep it up America, DC growing like crazy with no end in sight.

    You see them on tv, you see them on the internet, you see them on billboards, these dirty old men, come here pretty, we got some birth control candy for you? Drool dripping, like an Alien in love with Sigorny Weaver? Yes, we will do it like rabbits, put it on tape, make sure you never have a political voice of leadership the rest of your life, here, drink this?

    Ewwwwwwwwwww!

    Well what do you call “Obama Care” – offering blank checks to the insurance industry, oh sure, they will cover pre-existing conditions, free screenings, and they won’t raise your premium when they do it, they are going to raise EVERY BODY’s premium, and the longer this goes on, the higher they go, and insurance industries are going to be cranking out millionaires and billionaires?

    It’s very affordable for insurance agents, they can afford private jets, mansions, jewelry, oh, this is going to be fun spending your money? It’s going to be fun watching your kids not afford to be able to move out of the house, and they are going to be doing it like rabbits anyway? The pitter patter of little feet every where?

    What is not funny is forcing churches or people in the medical professions to do thing they don’t want to do? Banning high capacity magazines is not a war on women? You have the right to bear arm(s), that means you have the choice to pick what arm you want to have, not Joe Biden?

    You have a Republic if you stand up for it?

    Add to that Obama’s flatlined economy has forced young American women into homelessness and despair, and a domino-effect of drug abuse and prostitution which then unfolds into multiple abortions and death at the hands of their pimps or from disease. Welcome to Obama’s America, people.

    This Administration’s War on Women is diabolical. It tempts them to go to the front lines.

    Wilkow can’t even be ORIGINAL

      This is a ridiculous NON ISSUE.
      If one chooses to think.
      One can replace ‘women’ with ANY group, men, ALL recent grads, minorites, over 55′s,
      and have the same discussion.

    but its bigger… the administration is continuing demand side princials which sound aluring, but people do not understand the consequences of a govt/ FED RESERVE buying up excess demand in a economy what it can do… demand siders like obama and progressives make it sound like you are creating jobs… but the opposite reality is true… the process of buyign up excess demand is what is crowding out small buisniss, driving up the price of food and gas, devaluing the US DOLLAR, and driving people to want to produce in foriegn nationtions who dont tax to give tax breaaks to favored industry…. and thus in total is REDUCING THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS….
    (
    (
    this is why progressives have been saying, the rich are getting richer, the rich are getting richer… the policies followed by democrats are what is reducing the standard of living for the middle class, but the rich can afford the devaluing dollar, cause they know how to invest, they can pay more for gas, they have jobs… so democrats target those who they know are victims of their own policies, and they take them under their wing to hate those who are innocent…
