Why Having Women in Congress is Important

Jon Kyl plays the foil.
Jon Kyl: “I don’t need maternity care, and so requiring that to be in my insurance policy is something that I don’t need and will make the policy more expensive.”
Debbie Stabenow: (interrupting) “I think your mom probably did.” …
A response a woman would be more likely to give; a critical point that matters to the health of American families and our country’s future. Nothing less.
Not surprised it was lost on the good Senator from Arizona, who just happens to be a right wing Republican and a colleague of John McCain, someone who voted against equal pay for women.
Senator Kyl being part of the “family values” crowd that evidently thinks we can have healthy families without healthy moms.
