Feminine mistake? Women support Democrats; do Democrats support women? (Post-Gazette 12/08/09)

An excellent article by Dr. Lynette Long:

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09342/1019111-109.stm?cmpid=news.xml

If Democrats are anti-woman why do so many women vote Democratic?

The Democratic leadership has used scare tactics by equating voting Republican with the loss of reproductive freedom. But what most women don't realize is that one of the first states to allow abortions before the repeal of Roe v. Wade was New York, headed by Republican Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. Republicans are responsible for some other female firsts. Republican President Ronald Reagan appointed the first female to the United States Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor, and the Republican National Committee now is headed by two co-chairs, one of each gender.

If the majority of women choose to be Democratic, they need to hold the Democratic Party accountable to them, or switch their party affiliation, or start a party that suits their interests. Such aggressive action is not unprecedented.

Dumb-@$$ Democrats - not true Dems, but the kind that follow like sheep, or those that are selfish and shortsighted - need to get their heads out of the sand and start actually THINKING and being MORAL again.  And we need to vote based on teh best candidate, not along party lines.

I agree, I sure as hell am no longer a democrat, and next year, I am voting for ALL conservatives or as near as I get. I saw the looney radicals america-hating lefties be far more disgusting towards Hillary (and then Sarah), than conservatives!

Abortions rights are not the be all and end all of women's rights.

"party of women??" I DON'T THINK SO!!!!

Very good article, and to think that if you asked people who Alice Paul is they wouldn't have a clue.

I find myself in a box, I want to vote for women, but there a few that I can't stomach.
McCaskill is one of them.

thanks for this post, I want to see more articles like this.

Democrats don't care about women and I am not so sure they ever did
