GOP on Their War On Women: We Are The Victims

The political strategy of attacking women’s rights has become so toxic that at least one Republican congressman has advised women to start supporting Democrats. The latest polling suggests that is exactly what is happening.

Which naturally leads to this question: are women turning the tide on this anti-women legislation?    

That might explain why Republicans are desperately trying to change the narrative to one where they are the victims.

The claim that it’s not fair to criticize conservatives for supporting anti-woman policies because they aren’t the ones who “started” this has reached the mainstream of the Republican Party. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers from Washington trotted out the most recent talking point, arguing that it’s not that there’s a war on women, but Democrats are just making  it all up to “scare” women into voting for them. 

Women are already making their voices heard in the polls, where the Republican war on women has been dragging down the popularity of many candidates, most noticeably in the presidential race. The fight has been effecting opinions down the ticket as well, as can be seen in Massachusetts where Republican Senator Scott Brown has gone from leading to trailing in just a matter of weeks.

If women donate, and women vote, they can truly make Congress and the White House understand that they are powerful and, , they need them and they matter.
