The Obama campaign is bringing back the “war on women” theme in a big way with a new ad declaring that now is a “scary time to be a woman.”
From the Washington Post:
“I’ve never felt this way before, but it’s a scary time to be a woman,” says 30-something “Jenni.” “Mitt Romney is just so out of touch.”
A female narrator chimes in: “Romney opposes requiring insurance coverage for contraception and Romney supports overturning Roe vs. Wade. Romney backed a bill that outlawed all abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.”
Jenni adds, “There’s so much to do. We need to attack our problems, not a woman’s choice.”
The ad’s claims are similar to those in another spot earlier this month about Romney’s abortion stance, which his campaign labeled “viciously negative and false.” Romney has said he supports abortion in cases of rape and incest, though believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned and opposes mandatory contraception coverage.
The ad was not available on YouTube as of Thursday afternoon, but is running in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, Nevada and Ohio, according to the Post, and will begin airing in Colorado on Monday.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 7:59pm“It’s a scary time to be a woman” – Since the Roe vs Wade decision, the number cause of death in pregnant women went from complications in childbirth to homicide by the babies father. Guess those women just made the “wrong choice”. Oh and by the way the same number of women die each year from abortions as did when they were “back alley”. Child abuse went up, not down. About everything Roe vs Wade was supposed to cure, the opposite happened.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 5:18pmIt’s a scary time to be a woman if you work for Hussein Oblamer. As it is a fact that the Women in his administration make 1/3 less money than the Big Boys Club of malcontents make. The Ivy league men make the women in the administration feel like a piece of meat.
So, just like all of the the Hussein Oblamer talking points, the war on Women is a contrived talking point that isn’t true.
The War on Women is going on with Hussein over the last 4 years. More women out of work more women go from middle class to poor. Go back to the War on Hispanics talking point Insane Axelrod and Oblamer, because the War on Women is Oblamer.. The war on Hispanics is about Fast and the Furious. ….Oblamer wants a vote…. and he wants non english speaking, non citizen people and dogs to vote for him.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 6:07pmAbout 40 years ago, women’s workplace compensation was half that of men. Now it is close to 80% of men’s. That’s progress. We’re not devolving. And abortion is not a woman’s issue, it‘s a people’s issue too.
To insinuate that alllll women care about is contraception and easy ways out of failed contraception is demeaning, making it seem like all women care about is having sex. That’s not women, that’s men. (believe me)
Plus the issue most women care about is NOT abortion, it’s the DEBT and economy.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 3:55pmSince we know so little about Obama, he may know more about women than we think. As little as we know about him, he could have been one. He is into those ugly women who look like men and take up his causes. The real wives and mothers with real husbands, etc., is not part of the America he wants. He lives in a strange universe. Get this loser out of our White house. He is a woman hater and has no regard for women. He has no regard for anything and is married with two daughters who just seem to be there. If he cared about his own family he would not want this country destroyed. He would worship the true God and lead his family instead of a bunch of fringe groups that he is leading to hell.
