New laws are redefining rape, restricting access to contraceptives, and requiring invasive medical procedures in the form of transvaginal ultrasounds before abortions are permitted. Conservative groups are also attempting to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood which millions of women rely upon on for basic healthcare. These despicable acts recently culminated in radio shock-jock Rush </span><span style="font-size:10pt">Limbaugh calling a reproductive rights activist a "slut" and "prostitute"! This raises many questions. What's behind these attacks? How are they connected to the capitalist society we live in, where the ruling class attempts to divide the 99% in every way they can in the hopes of weakening challenges to their system? Is capitalism compatible with full equality for women? How can we wage a successful fightback against these attacks? Is electing Democrats the answer? Or do we a need an independent, mass movement approach to defeat the far right? <br>
