"Some women are getting sick of the Democrats' war on women,"
writes Valerie Richardson @ Washington Times, and they are fighting back in unique ways.
Take Laura Carno, who became so fed up with the nonstop "war on women" political advertising campaign in Colorado that she put together a radio ad of her own. It's aimed at Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat who's pushing the theme in his re-election bid against Republican Rep. Cory Gardner.
"I have to ask, Sen. Udall, why do you get your underwear all in a bundle about women and birth control?" Ms. Carno, who heads the conservative group I Am Created Equal, says in the spot. "Do you honestly think we need the government to make these choices for us?" [snip]
"The feedback I'm hearing from women, especially women who aren't involved in politics, is, 'Why do they think I only care about birth control? Don't they realize I'm more complicated than that?'" said Ms. Carno, who lives in Colorado Springs. "Women know how to get their own birth control. We're pretty damn smart."
Missy Shorey, executive director of the conservative women's group, Maggie's List, told Richardson "it's the Democrats who are waging the real war by moving to knock GOP women out of contested primaries."
Ms. Shorey said one way to disarm the Democratic "war on women" claims is to elect more female conservatives.
"Our main focus is let's get women elected to Congress," said Ms. Shorey. "You can't claim 'war on women' when you have outstanding women elected to the House and Senate who are conservative and Republican in nature. You just can't do it. Especially when it's angry males on the left saying this kind of thing."
