here in the USA we currently have FIVE female Republican senators in the Senate.

The majority of the time when it is a woman's issue THREE of the five senators (Collins, Snowe, Murkowski) cross the aisle and vote with the Democrats.

I'd much rather have a FEMALE republican in office, in The Congress, than a male republican in cases where we can't get a Democrat elected.

That being said,
we have a few 'female' Republican Governors that are horrible (nutty) and I hope they will be voted out of office in their next election, but as far as in The Senate the republican women seem to be more 'sane' regarding women's issues/rights.
