'War On Women' Loses Momentum In The States

At this time last year, GOP-controlled state legislatures across the U.S.
were passing a record number of laws restricting women's access to
reproductive health care. Now in the spring of 2012, as those same
lawmakers attempt to impose new, harsher restrictions, they're meeting
with a great deal more resistance from women.
.
In the past two weeks, four conservative state legislatures -- in
Tennessee, Idaho, Pennsylvania and Arizona -- have backed off of
controversial anti-abortion or anti-contraception bills after facing
significant public backlash over the proposals. Women who previously
weren't as politically active in those states have come out of the
woodwork to protest, women lawmakers have introduced "message amendments"
that target men's health, and legislators are personally hearing from
angry women through Facebook posts, emails and phone calls to a noticeably
higher degree than previous years.
.
"I would say there's some cautious optimism," said Elizabeth Nash, an
expert on state policy for the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health
policy research organization. "I do think the attention that has been paid
to all of these restrictions is beginning to have an impact."
.
Tennessee State Rep. Matthew Hill (R) recently removed provisions from a
bill he introduced that would have required the state to publish the names
of abortion doctors and detailed information about women who have had
abortions. After the national media focused attention on the bill and
raised concerns that it could promote anti-abortion violence against
doctors and women, Hill said he started to feel an alarming amount of
pressure to drop the bill.
.
"[Opponents'] categorization of me as a terrorist, murderer or more has
been used by their leftist friends to engender hatred and incite the
threat of violence against me," Hill told the Legislative Health and Human
Service Committee on Wednesday.
.
But Jeff Teague, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Middle and
East Tennessee, says the backlash against Hill's bill reflects a growing
anger and increased political participation among women in Tennessee who
are tired of seeing legislators target their reproductive rights. Many
women were upset when state lawmakers voted to defund Planned Parenthood
in May 2011, Teague said, but that firestorm didn't compare to the level
of outrage that's happening now.
