I would think that, given the poll results, Republicans would be trying to discourage women from voting, not the other way around.

Who hates women as bad as the GOP? Nobody! I am glad this will HURT them in November! Any sane woman would FLEE the GOP as fast as her legs would take her! The fact that they will need to suck up now to their base...ooops too late. YOU IDIOTS made a law that says women can be raped by their doctor in order to avoid an abortion.

That is going to be felt in November.

BANK ON IT.

This anti women rhetoric that the GOP is currently spewing will come back to bite them in the ass hard.

The GOP doesn't realize that women vote too! And I think the laws put in place (BY republicans) to humiliate a women in a moment when she is extremely vulnerable will play out very VERY badly for the Repukes. The old white men done went and fucked with their mostly docile women folk...well they were docile until the Repuke men went insane with power and got their horrible law passed.

It WILL fuck them over in November imo. Too much damage has been done and no amount of sucking up will fix it imo.

I'm predicting like a 100% turnout among women for the dems. This transvaginal ultrasound thing and the Catholic Church's war on birth control is truly beyond fucked up and crossed a line that should not have been crossed.

No amount of Koch billions will be able to save the GOP with this election even with Citizens United - the damage has been done and will be unrecoverable.
