CONGRESSMAN CHRIS SMITH IS TRYING TO OUTLAW THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL, THE IUD, NO SEX EDUCATION AND NO ABORITON - WHAT'S A WOMEN TO DO?

Education on how NOT to get pregnant DOES deter unwanted pregnancy. Simple common sense.
 People have sex and have had sex throughout history. History shows that women have been abused and raped throughout history too and up until recently had no voice or control over their circumstance or destiny. Congressman Smith wants NO BIRTH CONTROL AND NO ABORTION. He created the HR3 Bill to water down the definition of rape to forcible rape so that rape victims that become pregnant cannot seek abortions unless they can prove forcible rape. Which means a child that was raped and impregnated by a family member would not be considered rape or a women that was drugged and forced upon. The victim would have to be badly beaten or worse to have her case considered forcible rape under Smith's definition. That is barbaric! Aside from the recklessness of the bill he is empowering rapists! To add insult to injury, he voted against the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENS ACT OF 2013. WOMEN NEED TO KNOW SMITH'S VIOLENT ANTI WOMEN STANCE. WOMEN MUST CHOOSE WHAT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST AND THE BEST INTEREST FOR THEIR FAMILIES. CONGRESSMAN SMITH IS UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.
