Republicans WAR ON WOMEN - they are blowing it big time.

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.
