LiberalismÂ’s War on Women
October 21, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield
As Bob Filner, San Diego’s former progressive mayor, pleads guilty to charges stemming from his attacks on women, his essay, “Why I am Pro-Choice” still decorates the website of Planned Parenthood.
A year ago, Filner had appeared at a Planned Parenthood rally while running for mayor of CaliforniaÂ’s second largest city to accuse his opponent of being part of the war on women.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund had sent out a letter asserting that “for twenty years, Bob Filner has defended women.” At the rally, attendees were told that he had spent “the last twenty years protecting our rights and the rights of women everywhere.”
But while Filner was protecting women, no one was protecting women from Filner. The California Democratic Party maintained its red wall of silence around the son of a Communist, a Freedom Rider and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus because he was one of their own.

What does the War on Women really look like?
In Sweden, there are 20 abortions for every 1000 women and 25 abortions for every 100 pregnancies. Sweden also has the second highest rate of sexual assaults after South Africa.
From 2003 to 2008, SwedenÂ’s sexual assault rate doubled to 53 rapes per 100,000 people. The numbers are now so bad that some forecasts indicate that 1 in 4 Swedish women will be raped in their lifetimes.
Police statistics show that as much of 77% of rapes were carried out by foreign born rapists. As much as 5 percent of Sweden is now Muslim. Around the same time that SwedenÂ’s rape statistics were doubling, so was its Muslim population.

Bob Filner wasnÂ’t just guilty of a one man war on women. Like so many liberal politicians, he had championed policies that led to sexual assaults on a much larger scale.
The left won the war on women in Sweden. It is winning the war on women in California.
