After all, she's the first pro-life candidate who is a woman. That automatically eliminates that old cliche feminists use of "[the candidate] wouldn't feel that way if [the candidate] was a woman."

As another poster noted, the hard core feminists weren't going to vote for the GOP in any event. Her appeal is going to be to moderates and independents (or conservative democrat women) who wouldn't have otherwise voted Republican.

And, again as noted above, in a close race in a swing state that could decide the election.


No arguement from me. My point is that her appeal and mobilization to get out the vote for that group will be much more narrow than the pro choice women who may not have voted for Obama without this type of compelling reason. We'll see who's right in November.

One way or another, Choice is going to decide this election.

Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
