Why would any woman vote Republican?

Full disclosure: I am a man. A very blessed man, in the company of smart, strong, uppity women - some of them used to be Republicans.

I listened to news about Rush Limbaugh using very crude language decsribing a college student who wanted to testify to Congress. Then Mitt Romney said something about the fact he would not have used those words. Uh, Mitt, it was time to denounce Rush, not pull out the thesaurus. Then Rush wanted every woman on birth control to send him sex tapes. Not sure what Mitt thinks about that (stag party).

Rick Santorum avoided this by wanting to ban, not just abortions, but birth control. I thing he'd probably be in favor of some of the states' bills to force women to have intrusive ultrasounds before an abortion. Why do the small government men always want government inspectors in your bedroom?

Even libertarian Ron Paul, who thinks people should be able to choose whether to use heroin or not, won't let a woman choose to have an abortion? Maybe it's ok if she is a junkie too?


Who does that leave? Newt? Mr Third-times-the-charm?

Like I said, Why would any woman, and I mean any woman, vote Republican?
