Pelosi accuses GOP of waging 'war on women' in fundraising pitch By Mike Lillis - 03/21/12 01:12 PM ET
In the Democrats' latest fundraising bid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday accused Republicans of waging a "war on women."
The California Democrat is hoping the GOP's high-profile opposition to President Obama's birth-control mandate will alienate women and independent voters — and lure campaign cash to the Democrats' coffers.
In an email blasted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), Pelosi urged a $3 donation "to send a clear message that we will not tolerate or stand by while Republicans wage war on women’s rights."
"March 31st is the first quarterly Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline of 2012 and the first since the Republicans’ unprecedented assault on women’s rights," Pelosi said. "The national media and our opponents will use our grassroots fundraising totals to measure the strength of our opposition to the Republicans’ War on Women."
Women's healthcare issues have generated countless headlines since last month, when radio personality Rush Limbaugh called a female law student a "slut" and a "prostitute" for her support of Obama's new contraception mandate. Mitt Romney has also entered the debate, calling for an end to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest reproductive health provider, which also offers abortion services.
Pelosi's recent message is just the latest indication that Democrats don't want voters to forget those episodes anytime soon.
Republicans, meanwhile, are hoping to shift the debate elsewhere. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, said Tuesday that Democrats, by focusing so intently on women's issues, are "trying to change the subject" from the economy amid a lingering jobs crisis.
"They're trying to distract America from the real issues. They call it a 'war on women,' and as a woman I'm here to tell you that the Democrats are off base," McMorris Rodgers said. "It's a scare tactic that isn't going to work."
The Democrats think otherwise — they've set March's fundraising goal at $2.5 million.
History has shown that the dims scream the loudest when they are actually doing what they are yelling about.
Pump a parrot’s ass full of silicone and this is what you get....
We’re killing women in the womb?
No wait, that’s you Nancee.
We’re robbing female taxpayers and spending the money on our own selfish Leftist power trips?
My bad, that’s you again.
Any information Pelosi has concerning women is hearsay.
Now she might have valid opinions concerning mutants or throwbacks...
What war on women?
Approximately 50% of all fetuses that are aborted are female, and I cannot think of a greater assault on the female gender than that.
Is “abortion on demand” a Republican idea, or that of the liberal elites, a way to provide for “eugenics” by suppressing certain parts of the population from reproducing?
Too bad the Republican women see the fallacy of that argument, and go ahead and bring the children they conceive to live birth. The “liberated” women have reduced the spawn of their wombs to such a degree that all those future voters that were NOT born after about 1973 never grew up to vote in favor of the agenda their mothers espoused so fervently for the past forty years or so.
Probably prevented the growth of the criminal class too.
No wound is so painful as the self-inflicted ones.
Feathering Obama's nest with donations from fellow bird-brains...
Anyone that would listen to that dumb bitch needs to have war waged on them...
.
Pelosi is 100% evil......just like the Con Man In Chief.
Not quite.
We ARE waging a war against old dried-up insane communist Botox hags who are made more out of preservative then flesh.
So yes, she should be afraid.
I’d add
“We’re corrupting the culture so that women are being used sexually without requiring commitment? No, that’s you, Nanzi.”
Well I accuse obama and the rats of inciting a racial war.
Since when did human “rights” include taxpayer-funded condoms and abortions?
I think Pelosi’s hairdresser and plastic surgeon are engaged in a war on women and Pelosi is losing that war.
"Damn you Laz. My face locks into this position when I get afraid.
It’s time to remind voters that the Democrats are waging war against America’s middle class. For starters:
Raise gasoline prices!
Raise energy prices!
Inflate our currency — while keeping rates on savings accounts low!
Destroy housing equity by terrorizing the banks!
Stop banks from lending money to private individuals and businesses.
Takeover college loans! Deny loans to “conservative” students.
Promote vote fraud!
Promote illegal immigration!
Run up government debt so high that it must enslave our grand-children!
