So says the DNC. They won't be fooled by John McCain's attempt to win their votes by adding Sarah Palin to the ticket. They are right. Women are too smart... to have someone else tell them how they will decide to vote.
The radical pro-abortion femi-nots have told so many lies about the abortion issue, they have started to believe them. They keep saying that the majority of women are "pro-choice." They base this on poll responses that indicate a majority of women accept abortion in the cases of rape and incest and life-threatening circumstances.
Only three percent of women voters say abortion rights is their number-one concern. Only a small minority of women actually supports the extreme abortion-on-demand platform of the DNC. One-third of that group voted for W. in 2004.
The DNC's sad devotion to the ancient altar of abortion is now their undoing. They were so convinced of victory that they believed that it wasn't necessary to pick Hillary for veep, and that McCain would cave and choose a pro-abortion running mate, probably a man no less. So the Dems picked another male from inside the beltway.
Now they are stunned by McCain's brave selection of a pro-life woman, who is taking the national political stage by storm. They are desperately scrambling to come up with a response. So they pull out the "women are too smart" sound bite.
But Sarah Palin is not your average pro-lifer. Not only is she walking the walk by bringing her precious special-needs son into the world, but she proudly declares her membership in Feminists for Life.
I suspect that a lot of Hillary backers are personally opposed to abortion, but feel they must support "choice" out of a misguided sense of compassion. When they hear the sensible arguments and the pro-woman-and-child solutions that FFL presents, I think a lot of them will think twice about a party that rabidly clings to partial-birth abortions and leaving babies on tables to die.
And they will have no problem voting for a ticket with a woman who is just like them -- a mom who is trying to make a better world for her children.
