I'm not going to argue that it is helpful to the Republican cause to
have some of their male officeholders talking about masturbating fetuses
or the sanctity of rape babies or saying that rape kits
are a form of abortion. Your average woman is horrified when they hear
Republican men say that wanting access to contraception makes you a
slut or that it's almost impossible to get pregnant while being raped.
But I don't know that this is really the biggest problem the Republicans have with women right now.
Republican women lawmakers are “growing increasingly frustrated,”
according to one GOP lawmaker. The leadership needs to weigh in. “It’s
not changing people’s minds, it’s just saying, ‘Hey, don’t say stupid
things,’ ” the lawmaker said.
But that’s exactly the problem: Leadership hasn’t told anybody to knock it off, according to another GOP lawmaker.
