At the end of the day, about 10 million more women voted than men in the last general, and at the moment they've swung over to the President by almost 20 points I think because of the weariness many women have about things like Planned Parenthood being under attack.
I think that women are responsible on health care more than men because they live longer than men do, so future planning becomes a big thing and I find it's usually moms who are the ones that are on top of those issues. Plenty of people who are uneasy with abortion understand that PP does a lot more than that, in fact they are partly responsible for why the United States leads the world in early cancer detection.
How your candidate is perceived among women, to me, will decide the presidency and so all these people can attack each other all they want, but at the end of the day, single moms out there who keep getting told by Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum and others that they do not have dignity unless they are working just doesn't go over very well, I think, with stay-at-home moms.
I mean, Hillary Rosen can say whatever she wants and Anne Romney can fire back and all these politicos can say what they want, but at the end of the day people are going to look at who is supporting early cancer detection for women and who isn't, as well as who supports equal pay and who doesn't.
(R) or (D), doesn't matter what, if your policies in 2012 America alienate women, you're in deep trouble because women are politically active now and if 10 million more women than men showed up last time, we're looking at an even higher number this time.
I don't condone or advocate anything about the spat between the politicos, mostly because I don't quite understand the thing of it. To the best I do understand, Anne Romney made a comment about how staying at home to be a mom is a job in and of itself, then the liberal lady attacked her with, "she hasn't worked a day in her life", which is an insensitive remark, but then on the heels of that the Romney campaign is asked point-blank whether they support the Ledbetter Act on fair pay and the Romney team blew it by saying, "We'll get back to you".
I mean, what is there to get back to us on? You either think men and women deserve equal pay or you don't.
