War On . . .

I do not like the use of the word “War” as in War on Women.  There must a better word than War.  Maybe the word ‘confrontation’ such as “Confrontation On Women’s Issues.”  Nah, to long.  To cumbersome.

How about “Battle Over Women’s Issues?”  A little better.

I do not like using the word ‘war’ to describe political differences.  Call it a “Public Argument.”  But war brings up the wrong connotations.  The term war brings to mind Dr. George Tiller, who was killed for performing a perfectly legal procedure.

Then again we have had for decades a “War on Drugs” and the object “Drugs” are winning.  Hopefully, the Women will win this War.
