‘Women will not stand for this’: Carolyn Maloney decries (almost) all-male hearing on women’s health
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) expresses outrage following a Capitol Hill hearing to discuss the contraceptive insurance mandate. The first panel of witnesses for the hearing, which was convened by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), did not include any women. Maloney says the meeting backfired for Issa: “Half the population of this country are women, and we will not be sent back to the Dark Ages, and we will not be denied our rights.”

BTW, if any woman votes for Rick Santorum after that comment today by his number one spokesman, I'll be surprised.
If he doesn't fix this thing within a few hours, I'm talking to you Rick Santorum, if you don't fix this in a couple of hours, you can kiss off all the women voters of this country & a lot of men.
