Based on some polls I have seen too many women would still vote for GOP candidates and Romney. They would vote Republican despite the fact that they would lose their right to even choose birth control and family planning services. They would also lose most of the safety net that protects women and children like safe houses that protect them against abuse, food stamps that would feed their children, welfare which is a joke under TANF, domestic violence protections provided by legislation, health care insurance, and a host of other programs that directly benefit women and children.
Romney and the GOP are running on the economy and how their policies would benefit women because they would create more jobs. Well blow me down. That means that they will create even more starvation wages jobs for everyone including women. On top of that women would STILL GET TO MAKE 78% OF THE MONEY A MAN MAKES. And they still would suffer GENDER DISCRIMINATION. affirmative action programs also protected women in the past. Women are half the populations and should hold 50% of the management and CEO jobs in the country.
Romney and the GOP should really get 0% of the women's vote.

(8,053 posts)do not think that any of the things you've pointed out 1. applies to them or 2. would happen to them.
They believe that nothing tragic will ever befall them and blow up their lives to the point where their financial stability would ever be impacted--be that through their husband leaving and divorcing them or the death of their spouse, critical illness/injury of their children, their parents having a lingering illness which would require them to pay to take care of them or put them in a nursing home after their parents have exhausted their resources behind medical bills.
When one believes that they have a guarantee that their life follows the script they wrote out back when they were in their late teens, they proceed in a manner which does not allow for the consideration of anything forcing the narrative of their lives off script.
And that's the type of woman who will vote for Mittiot.

More than a few have expressed this very thing, including Rushbo and some tea idiots.
