“Mitt Romney is proudly pro-life, and he will be a pro-life president.” – Andrea Saul, Romney press secretary THIS IS a thing of beauty. It also has a ring of truth to it.

Fed to Mitch Daniels: You’re An Idiot
A RESTRICTIVE LAW signed by Gov. Mitch Daniels has been declared illegal. It discriminated against poor women, because they don’t vote and it’s the easiest demographic to push around.

Bill As Barack’s Ultimate ATM Machine

Frantic ‘War on Women’ Media Defense by Republicans
A word of caution about what you’ll be reading from now until November.

[...]
Erick Erickson Gets the ‘Joe Scarborough Award’

Republican War on Women Erases 2010 Midterm Gains
While women typically are more likely to identify themselves as Democrats than men are, that difference widens to a chasm in the USA TODAY poll.

John McCain: ‘Respect the Right for Women to Make Choices’
It’s so very basic, but yet it made news when Sen. John McCain said it on Sunday in his conversation with David Gregory. “There’s a perception out there because of the way that this whole contraception issue played out.. We need to get off of that issue. In my view, I think we ought to [...]
Bill Maher on Sarah and the ‘C’ Word
Jake Tapper has a discussion with the self-described potty mouth comic. But comparing Maher’s “c” word attack on Sarah Palin to what Rush Limbaugh said about Sarah Fluke, he’s having none of it. To compare that to Rush is ridiculous – he went after a civilian about very specific behavior, that was a lie, speaking [...]

Introducing the Bob McDonnell Transvaginal Probe, Hand Crafted by Republicans
Since a proposed amendment to the bill—a provision that would have had the patient consent to this bodily intrusion or allowed the physician to opt not to do the vaginal ultrasound—failed on 64-34 vote, the law provides that women seeking an abortion in Virginia will be forcibly penetrated for no medical reason. I am not [...]
The Weekend Pres. Obama Gave Women Their Own Social Security
But the reality of life here is that Mr. Gulbranson and many of his neighbors continue to take as much help from the government as they can get. When pressed to choose between paying more and taking less, many people interviewed here hemmed and hawed and said they could not decide. Some were reduced to [...]
Pres. Obama Hands Women the Future
It was done ugly. But let’s not miss this moment. The furor forced the White House to make a final move Friday, with Pres. Obama starring. It was insanity, except that Pres. Obama walked into battle with the majority of Americans behind him, including 99% of adult women who rely on birth control in their [...]
