GOP Women Rally Against DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Attacks

A series of Republican Congresswomen got up in the House on Tuesday to decry comments from Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz who said GOP policies would push women to vote for President Barack Obama and help him win a second term. - Newsmax
Rep, Kristi Noem, R-S.D., said, “The Republican agenda is indeed pro-woman. It is pro-woman because it is pro-small business, pro-entrepreneur, pro-family and pro-economic growth."

Noem said most women are concerned about the same things that men are.

“They are worried about the security of their job, if they have one. They are worried about finding a job, if they are looking for one,” she said.

“They are worried about the excessive spending we are engaging in and the overwhelming debt we are set to leave our children and grandchildren. They are worried about what new government regulation is around the corner that is going to try and control another portion of their lives or their small businesses...”

Democrats have been trying to portray Republican policies as bad for women. Wasserman Schultz told a Christian Science Monitor-sponsored breakfast this month, “Their record is a war on women, and it is a priority for them."

She singled out what she said were GOP moves to redefine rape, defund Planned Parenthood, restructure health care for seniors and undermine collective bargaining rights...

New York Daily News columnist S.E. Cupp said: “Under conservative fiscal leadership, women have more choices, not fewer. They are empowered and self-sufficient, not dependent on paternalistic big government to pay her bills, watch her kids, feed her family, get her a raise or a promotion and make decisions for her that should be entirely her own.

Phyllis Schlafly said: “Democratic policies are just an attempt to make women dependent on government handouts, women don’t want that.”
