There are currently 96 women in Congress. Only 21 of them are Republicans. Why is that? (suspect, abortion)

Besides the left's hatred of women who aren't feminazis, blacks who aren't liberal, Hispanics who are for tough immigration laws, they are also huge on supporting special interest groups who push for Dems minorities to be elected BECAUSE they are female, black, or hispanic, rather than pushing for them regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity and simply because of their political views and competency.
What is the percentage breakdown of AA vs non-AA females? What might shed more light on this issue?
While it's true that single women tend to be more liberal (they seek a sugar daddy without feeling "dirty" about it) and a married woman esp. with kids tends to be more conservative (since they and/or their hubby earn enough money to not be as reliant on "sugar daddy" gubmint)
I would be curious to see these numbers posted along side those regarding how many women have run for each side, including those who have lost.... as it stands it seems a very selective sample and as such may not fairly represent those representing each group.
Beyond that it could be as simple as personal interest or which group appeals more to the given demographic... it is not really that surprising overall either way.
Women lean Democrat more than Republican. It's just a fact.
