GOP Waging ‘War On Women’?

Republicans are waging a "war on women," charges the Democrats' new national chair, and her party is seizing on that war -- real or imagined-- to regain ground lost in the 2010 mid-term elections and boost President Obama's re-election. The stakes are simple: No 'Gender Gap,' you lose: Gender Gap and you win," Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily's List, said in Seattle on Thursday. Emily's List raises campaign cash for pro-choice Democratic women candidates. She's right, and both parties know it. According to recent national polls, Obama has a job approval rating 11 or 12 points higher among women voters than among men/Joel Connelly, Seattle PI. More here.

Question: Do you think the GOP is waging a war against women?
