Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., waves to the crowd as she walks on stage to declare victory over challenger Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., in the Missouri Senate race in St. Louis. McCaskill will be one of a record 20 women in the next Senate, 17 of them Democrats. Democrats and liberal advocacy groups have declared victory in what they called a Republican "war on women" and are celebrating the pivotal defeats of some GOP candidates who took rigid stands against abortion.

Question: Do you subscribe to the claims that Republicans have a "war on women"?
