"Forced birth"
   
Joy-Ann Reid referred to women being forced to birth children as part of the attempt by Christianist wing of the Rs to hijack the teabagger "movement". She was spot on about the methodology of this faction and I posted the video on the video forum for viewing. I think that forced birth is a term worth adopting. It conveys the lack of control over women's bodies that this group seeks. AND we need to be talking about the war on contraception they are waging.

1. About time we heard that phrase..
   
If forced birth doesn't come under the heading of cruel and unusual punishment, I don't know what does.

So these "Christianists" are forcing women to hook up with men, take their clothes off, and have sex? Not only that but forcing them to have sex WITHOUT protection?
Those "Christianists" must be a very powerful bunch.

And when did the war on contraception start? I must have missed that memo.

If that were true, the churches would be full every Sunday.

Forced parenthood: Christianists push laws against murdering your ____________, (Insert infants, children, teenagers...)  

Unfortunately for the DUmmy stance, we've always had laws forcing people who got pregnant to be parents.
