Editor,
Regarding the so-called “Republican War on Women” that we’ve been hearing so much about, here is an excerpt from a recent press release from the National Federation of Republican Women: “Democrats are running around squawking about a ‘Republican War on Women,’” NFRW President Rae Lynne Chornenky said. “They are ignoring the indisputable fact that the NFRW has more than 75,000 female members whose leadership, influence, skill and passion for conservative principles form the backbone of our party, and have for more than 70 years. This liberal campaign scheme is clearly a sign of desperation and is simply not rooted in fact.”
I am among the 75,000 members, as are many wonderful women I know in both Flathead and Lake Counties.
What befuddles me is how a legitimate and important discussion about First Amendment rights morphed into an inflammatory discussion about contraception. All I can think is that the current administration has concluded that women are basically stupid and wouldn’t notice. Sadly, many women seem to have been fooled. I and my Republican friends are not.
I encourage everyone who votes to consider which party is dedicated to reducing this country’s debt, ending unhealthy deficit spending, trying again to secure healthcare reform and restoring the freedom that America was once famous for.
