I don't think it's so much a war on women as an attack on reproductive rights. That tends to affect women more, but characterizing it as such totally misses the intent of what the proponents of personhood, etc., are all about.

It's really political smoke and mirrors to distract voters. Pretty much none of the stuff being promulgated lasts longer than it takes someone to go and get a Temporary Restraining Order blocking the law's implementation.

I really wish we'd be more focused on fixing healthcare, which is going to be an absolute debacle, doing something about the cost of the military and social services, properly regulating and supervising the financial markets, or increasing taxes to an appropriate level considering the amount of government spending we have. Any of those subjects matter a hell of a lot more than this stuff and no one wants to talk about any of it.
