I’m trying to find out what’s conservative about that viewpoint. Do you agree with Reid?

I'm trying to find out what's conservative about referring to working women as 'a problem'. What would you have them do? Should they go on welfare and stay home with their kids? No, that's not particularly conservative. Should the fathers be required by law to give up half their salary to support the family they left in the lurch? No, there's nothing particularly conservative about that either. So your solution is to narrow your definition to single women who had kids out of wedlock, as if they are somehow in less need of childcare as married women are, or divorced and widowed women are. And people wonder how the Democrats can be so successful with their "war on women" claims.

So you agree with Reid, then. You want government-provided daycare to substitute for what a mother is supposed to give to her child? and a missing father figure?

If you don’t understand and/or reject the traditional family, you are not a conservative. Maybe you are a libertarian. You’re certainly throwing in with the Democratic definition of the “war on women” by attacking the conservative viewpoint—never mind supporting the Dems’ war on men (rarely mentioned).
