Liberals have documented the
existence of a bitter Republican campaign against women’s health and
freedom, but I don’t think we’ve identified its cause or its full

women: New Gallup poll data released
Monday found that Obama leads Romney 51 percent to 42 percent among
registered voters in 12 swing states. Last month he trailed the
Republican by 2 points. The change is due to a sharp shift among women:
Obama now leads Romney among women under the age of 50 by 30 points;
that lead was 5 points in February.

culture wars, but we’ve debunked that: Democrats didn’t make the GOP
presidential field back “personhood” laws that would criminalize some
forms of birth control. They didn’t force the newly elected House GOP to
make defunding Planned Parenthood their first legislative goal. And
they didn’t propose the Blunt Amendment that would have allowed
employers to withhold health insurance coverage not only for
contraception, but for any treatment they disapproved of — or make every
Republican senator vote for it, except the outgoing Olympia Snowe. READ MORE
