Not content to oppose efforts to promote pay equity for
women, Republicans are battling against stronger efforts to protect
battered women. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, escalating his unsuccessful
pandering to the right, has set his sights against Planned Parenthood. I
assume the plan is for the GOP to seek votes from those who cheat women
on salary and beat women physically. Bad plan. Republicans, like Ron
Paul, will have to accept personal responsibility for their actions.
Republicans will claim they are all for women, but this is
about ideology. Fair enough. So bet it. Let the debate begin. Actions
and ideology have real consequences. The consequences for women
under Republicans are severe, which is why women are voting for
Democrats in huge numbers.
