“When it comes to women, no matter how pro-life they are in philosophy, when push comes to shove, they are all pro-choice. I’ve seen high-level women in the Calif R party basically say that if the party moves any more rightward, they’ll vote D. “
Well then the solution is obvious. Repeal the 19th ammendment!! That would solve alot of our problems!!:)
The 19th is the reason the US has moved leftward. When the only people deciding the country's direction were men, the only points of contention were domestic/social.
Foreign policy was divided between expanding America's empire vs isolationists; advocating defeat & treason to the extent we've seen during the Iraq campaign would have warranted a bullet.
All that being said, the 19th was inevitable as is the leftward shift of the country. I guess this the point that Conservatives @ FR can't seem to understand, as evidenced by the purge of long-time female supporters/posters.
While pro-life females may agree that Roe v Wade needs to be overturned on constitutional grounds, I'd be surprised if any states (even in the South) actually passed amendments that prohibited the practice.
With 50% or so of the R party made up of women, it's left to men to criticize Rudy for his liberal positions; women (such as my wife) are all gung-ho for him.
