Obama fights back against war on women with new video
After conservative state legislatures across the country proposed bills this month that restrict the contraceptive freedoms of American women, it’s no surprise that Obama is polling well among women. And Mitt Romney’s nonchalant comment that he would “get rid of” Planned Parenthood if elected, (which actually isn’t possible since it’s privately owned), shows just how out of touch with the female demographic the GOP remains.
The Pew Research Center reported this month that Obama led Romney by 20 points (58 percent to 38 percent) and that 61 percent of women said they would choose Obama over Santorum. In fact, the percentage of women voting Democratically has steadily risen over the last 30 years. With such a focus on issues directly related to women’s health, it will be no surprise if those figures continue to rise. On the heels of releasing this graphic depicting the disparity in health care costs between men and women, the president released the video below reiterating his commitment to giving women the freedom to make their own health care decisions, and to ensuring important women’s health services.
