The Politico story today never mentions the word “abortion” when bemoaning the potential loss of mostly Democrat women in Congress. But it reads like a Who’s Who of radical feminist pro-abort ideologues who are in danger of losing their seats. And the biggest loser of all would be EMILY’s List, that dastardly PAC that only supports Democrat, pro-abort women. Oh, the prospect. Oh, happy day…

While conservatives are already celebrating the “Year of the Republican Woman,” thanks to a record number of GOP female candidates for Congress, Democrats fear the opposite trend: the year of the women’s wipeout.

Three Democratic women first elected to Congress in 1992 – the original “Year of the Woman” – are at risk. Nearly a quarter of the 56 female Democrats in the House are considered vulnerable, including once rising stars like Ann Kirkpatrick [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of AZ, Betsy Markey [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of CO and Mary Jo Kilroy [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of OH….

“This should trouble anyone who believes that a Congress should be truly representative of the people it serves,” said Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]….

Other women who helped build the Democratic majority, including Reps. Gabrielle Giffords [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of AZ, Suzanne Kosmas [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of FL, Dina Titus [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of NV, Kathy Dahlkemper [pro-life Democrat who voted for Obamacare, opposed by pro-life groups] of PA, Betty Sutton [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of OH, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of SD and Carol Shea-Porter [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] of NH, are engaged in some of the most competitive races in the country….

But the ousting of a wide swath of [pro-abort] Democratic women Nov. 2 would chip away at a generation of female [pro-abort] politicians inspired by the 1992 election…

Each of the female senators on the chopping block have been history makers: CA’s Barbara Boxer [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… AR’s Blanche Lincoln [pro-abort, zero rating from National Right to Life]… WA’s Patty Murray [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… AK’s Lisa Murkowski [pro-abort, member of Republicans for Choice and Republican Majority for Choice]…

But the ultimate casualty for Democratic women would be the ousting of Nancy Pelosi [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] from the speaker’s chair if Republicans win the House….

Under her tenure, women have held key leadership positions – including NY Rep. Louise Slaughter [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, CT Rep. Rosa DeLauro [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as co-chairwoman of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and NY Rep. Carolyn Maloney [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] as chairwoman of the Joint Economic Committee. NY Rep. Nydia Velazquez [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] became chairwoman of the House Small Business Committee….

“I think the record speaks for itself,” said CA Rep. Jackie Speier [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]… ticking off the number of women in leadership roles. “She has really placed women in positions of leadership.”…

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List] said the newer women have Pelosi to thank for their plum committee assignments….

“We try and help each other – mentoring, working on issues together, fundraising…,” said Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) [pro-abort, supported by EMILY’s List]….
