I think the House could be seriously in play on the strength of the Republican War on Women alone. With more states going Red, we're sure to see more horrific legislation like Ohio's Fetal Heartbeat bill (hello Ireland), de-funding Planned Parenthood, and my state's ludicrous tax break for fetuses--which is currently bogged down in committee but the chair promised to bring it up next year. I am convinced we women are the key.
