wow, this thread turned into a liberal circle jerk where each one is clamoring over the other to defend the sad state of liberalism that lets rapists and child molesters go free on reduced or hardly any sentence at all. You would think these people here never watched or read any news EVER! There are many RECENT cases where rapists or child molesters were set free by some bleeding heart liberal judge and they committed the same crimes again.

You doubt the existence of Republicans who are Pro-Choice, be they men or women? I did, too, until I did a little looking:

The WISH List--Your Partner In Politics! <--fundraising for Republican pro-choice women candidates

Republicans For Choice PAC

California Republican League | Pro-Choice | Environmentally Conscious | Fiscally Conservative

Republican Youth Majority

GopChoice | About Us (http://www.gopchoice.org/about_us.asp - broken link)

Admittedly, I was a little surprised (happily so) to see that they do, in fact, exist.

Feds to Halt Texas Women's Health Program Funding - ABC News
Who took the funding away in the first place?
Hint: it wasn't the feds.

"Carole Belver, Executive Director and Health Services Director of Community Action, a local Medicaid Women’s Health Program provider, reminded attendees that Governor Perry already slashed the family planning budget by more than two-thirds, which will take health care from another 160,000 women per year. These cuts also affect services including Pap tests, clinical breast exams, and birth control. "

Democrats Declare War on Women

The intolerance of the Left is shockingly sad.
Here is a prime example of how the Romneys are out of touch with the average American.

Instead of putting plans in their future home to have an elevator to move a person to the level of the car......they make plans for an elevator to move the car to the level of the person.

Out of touch is putting it mildly.

Comparing Mrs. Romney to the average stay at home mom is more than a stretch. She never had to worry about how the bills were going to get paid. She never had to worry about who would take care of her children when she was ill.......you just hire a nanny, cook, housekeeper or chauffeur to take care of the kids FOR you. Hardly the experience of the average stay at home mom when she is too ill to care for her children herself.

I am sure Mrs. Romney never gave the cost of her healthcare a second thought either. A friend of mine WITH insurance was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago. On average, it has cost her $6000 a year out of pocket.....a pretty big deal whan your income is less than $30,000 a year.

Bet you $10,000 Mrs. Romney can't relate to the average stay at home mom.

So Republicans cut funding within the state. So what? Does that change what the Feds did? No, it doesn't. So your post is just worthless deflection.

Liberals will do anything to get women on their side. Those people are the demographic and voting majority now.

This comes in the form of the lack of justice for the perpetrators of crimes against women, such as rape and murder, when liberal judges have released these criminals, reduced their sentences, or protected them from receiving the punishment they deserve.
This liberal malfeasance is not limited to a refusal to avenge the dead. It refuses also to protect the living. In 1966, Kenneth Allen McDuff and an accomplice kidnapped three teenagers in Fort Worth. Forcing them into the trunk of their car, he drove it out into the country, where he shot the two boys dead, then raped the girl, had his friend rape her, raped her again, and finally threw her down and pressed a broomstick against her throat until her neck broke. Ratted out by his remorseful accomplice the next day, McDuff was convicted but was saved from the electric chair in 1972 by the Supreme Court. He never should have been paroled, but Texas was under a federal court order to ease prison crowding, so after many refusals he was set free in 1989.
Three days later, McDuff killed again, and he continued his second, court-enabled reign of terror until 1992, when he was nabbed after appearing on America's Most Wanted. During his trial in Waco, defense attorneys urged jurors not to be like Pontius Pilate, who "caved in to public demand" and sent Jesus to the cross. The jury, unimpressed, returned McDuff to Death Row. In 1998, he finally paid the price, more than 30 years after he first shed innocent blood. His execution closed the books on more than a dozen rape-murders committed while he was on parole [2].

Please read about the numerous cases cited in this article. This is what women should be outraged about.
You can peddle that nonsense all you like, it doesn't change the fact that the GOP is the anti-women party and Obama's rise in the polls is almost wholly due to the Komen issue, the anti-contraception stance of some of the GOP candidates, and the farcical "hearings" on Capitol Hill regarding women's health that featured a panel with NO WOMEN ON IT. Top that with Rush's "****" comment and anyone can see how desperate it makes the right and this is their feeble attempt to change the narrative on the issue. Good luck with that. Calling Dems out for a war on women is exactly the game I used to play with my two year old nephew...No, YOU ARE.

They don't have to do a blasted thing. They just need to let the GOP clowns keep lighting themselves on fire and opening their mouths. It's laughable how little the GOP seems to understand the elctorate.

Democrats? Plural? Name me one other "Democrat" going after Ann Romney, who is fair game, by the way, since Mitt admits he relies on her advice about women as he wopuld any other advisor. There was ONE pundit. Singular.
