War on Women is Not Exactly Finished

Mitt Romney was very adroit in calming women's concerns in the first Presidential Debate.  Contrary to the Republican Party's radical platform,  that outlaws abortion in ALL cases; that calls for the outlawing of abortion throughout the land, that seeks to reduce health care to women dramatically women were lulled into a false sense of security by the Bain salesman.

Romney said he was against Abortion except in cases of rape or incest,  that he was almost disinterested in overturning Roe vs Wade, and took a "trust me, I'm actually a moderate" point of view.

And apparently it worked.  Along with his assurances that he had "reached across the aisle" in Massachusetts (he vetoed almost 1000 bills), which was a flat out lie, women and many others took a deep breath, and decided that his promises on the economy (also lies), were enough to gain their vote.

So the polls swung.  Suddenly what looked like a run away for Obama became very close.  Women particularly, gave Romney the benefit of the doubt mainly because the economy has not rebounded enough.

Of course, this happened while the unemployment rate dropped, housing starts improved, and the public's  confidence in the economy rose.

But the "war on women" that Democrats had so loudly proclaimed;  that message began to fizzle.

Even the Claude Aiken truth speak, when he said that a  legitimate rape should not deserve an abortion, began to fade.

Then the nut case from Indiana spoke.  Again, he spoke exactly what the Republican platform and the vast majority of Tea Party members, and Christian Conservatives believe, that rape and incest should NOT be a mitigating factor in a woman getting an abortion in the Republican world of government reproductive control.

The Indiana Senator candidate basically said that God promoted keeping a rape induced baby.  So, he was for government forbidding abortions even in cases of rape (legitimate or not).

And Romney, flushed out again, through a spokesman,  "denounced" the statement, while running an ad in Indiana promoting the candidate's election.

Once again, it is "now you see it, now you don't".  Where does this guy really stand?

I will give you  a clue.  He is being supported by millions from hard right wing plutocrats, who hide behind "Citizens United" to give billions anonymously, against democrats from Senate to local school boards.

If anyone thinks for one minute, that Romney as President will stand up to these fat cats, they are living in dream land.


And, if any woman believes for one minute that Romney will stand up against right wing conservative Christians anti-abortion radicals, they are living in dream land.

Look, women of America, the Republican Party has a platform that is anti-women, anti-choice and anti-freedom.  You can accept the snake oil for what it is, a huge con, to get your vote, then take control over your body because "God wills it".

And who, my fellow Christian friends,  can claim they really know what God intends or thinks?  Who in the heck do they think they are?

The War on Women is not Finished.  Don't be fooled.  If Romney wins, things will change dramatically, especially for women!
