This Election is becoming a referendum on policies AGAINST Women

GOP says NO to Equal Pay!
GOP Wants to Outlaw Abortion!
GOP Wants to Restrict Access to Birth Control!
GOP believes in Divine Rape?!? WTF

The Ladies have come out strong tonight and said NO to regressive policies.

NH is going ALL WOMEN:

Gov. is a Woman.
Both Senators (not up for election) are Women.
Both Reps will likely be Women.

Many of the new senators tonight across the nation: WOMEN.

The GOP has chosen a path and set of policies that have now and forever lost the female vote.

their tearing down a woman who spoke up about birth control, the policies which would force women to undergo invasive procedures simply so that they could control their own reproductive systems... their anti-woman agenda came into sharper and sharper focus over the course of the campaign. And then these latest comments about rape, there was just no coming back from that. There is no way to sugar coat it. They hate women.
