Feminist Majority Foundation: Electing Fiorina or Whitman could be detrimental to women's rights
Feminist Group Won't Support Fiorina Or Whitman

The Feminist Majority Foundation warned Tuesday that electing Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina or gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman could be detrimental to women’s rights.

It might seem strange that a women’s rights group would vocally oppose two female candidates, but the Feminist Majority Foundation said it looks at candidate’s policy rather than just advocating for a woman in politics.

“We are supporting candidates who have pro-woman policy,” said Myra Duran, a national campus organizer for the Feminist Majority. “It doesn’t have to be a woman.”

One of the group's top concerns about Fiorina’s policy is that she “has indicated that if given the chance she would overturn Roe v. Wade, and we don’t want someone in power in the Senate who has that kind of mindset,” Duran said.

1. Just because I have a set of ovaries doesn't mean I use them to vote!
O'Donnell says she's appealling to the Clinton Democrats who I guess are still holding a grudge against Obama picking Biden. Wait, does this idiot know she's in Biden's homestate? Does she know that the whole 'PUMA' movement was a giantsize bloatment of Faux News and their wannabes. Did you know that Clinton actually has a brain and experience; women who support her would NOT want some whackadoo as their senator.

ugh!
