Politico: “Democrats fear wipeout for women;” pro-abort women, that is
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]….

Democrats fear the opposite trend: the year of the women’s wipeout.
Women’s wipeout? Haven’t they supported the wiping out of women in the womb?
ENOUGH!!!
I will not shed a single tear for any of them.
Time to end the careers of women who hurt women.
At the risk of bursting your balloon, from my observation the whole political trend at the moment has nary a scant influence of abortion to it.
When times are tough people ‘resort to type’ and conservatism strengthens. That is the major factor in play here.
Once times improve, the liberal agenda will resume its rightful place. Progress, advancement, fairness and equality.
My turn for a funny – why do tea party rallies get bigger and bigger? Because as companies downsize they get rid of the dead wood first!
Shhhhh.
I have a secret.
Many, many incumbents aren’t doing well this year.
And it has nothing to do with abortion.
Let’s wait and see what happens, shall we?
Cran,
Just keep telling yourself this….
