During the Republican primary, Bryan Fischer made a bit of news when he suggested that women should not be serving in positions of authority within the church or society at large, saying that God would only allow a woman (in this case, Rep. Michele Bachmann) to lead the nation in a desperate situation. Fischer returned to the discussion of the proper role of women in society on his radio program today where he made it quite clear that he believes that “biblical lines of authority” ought to be enforced at home, in the church, and in society and that anybody who has a problem with that can take it up with Jesus. Fischer went on to reiterate that “masculine leadership in society over the nation” is “God’s basic plan for today” and “political leadership ought to be … reserved for the hands of males” and the fact that he is probably going to be attacked for saying so is just evidence that we can’t have a reasonable discussion about this issue….

Republicans’ Shocking Positions on Rape and Pregnancy Aren’t Outliers — They’re Central to the GOP Agenda: Republicans are clearly banking on claiming the imprimatur of the Almighty on this “issue,” but this battle in the war on women has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Plain and simple, it’s about political power.
