First things first: WCF does not support Ann Marie Buerkle
MsRep wants to thank our supporters (especially the New Yorkers!) who reached out to clarify the mention of Ann Marie Buerkle in yesterday’s Brief. Cialis sale, We want to make sure everyone knows that Buerkle is not a woman WCF endorses, cialis sale, as she does not support women’s reproductive health choices.
She was mentioned solely because she is the one woman with an outstanding race, cialis sale, which will affect the overall number of women in the 112th Congress. Cialis sale, If she wins the NY-25 seat, cialis sale, women will hold 16.6 percent of Congressional seats.
WCF invests in women on both sides of the aisle, cialis sale, but only those who believe in advancing our essential and fundamental freedoms. Cialis sale, Otherwise, cialis sale, women’s numbers in public office may rise, cialis sale, but women’s rights, cialis sale, freedom, cialis sale, and quality of life may suffer greatly as a result.
MsRep’s Continued Talk of Palin’s Pack of Petrifying Women
It’s been a very confusing election year, cialis sale, in so many ways. Cialis sale, Given the wide sea of 2010 women candidates and the gaping differences in their values, cialis sale, MsRep has striven to both elevate our endorsed candidates and discuss the larger picture of women and politics.
Unfortunately, cialis sale, that picture has included a sharp rise of extreme socially conservative, cialis sale, anti-choice women, cialis sale, and they became an important part of MsRep’s analysis; pointing out their dangerous views on women’s reproductive freedom and their disconcerting thrust into the spotlight.
One key point in analyzing the state of women’s representation is to report on how many Congressional seats they hold. Cialis sale, That said, cialis sale, we know that’s only one piece of the puzzle. Cialis sale, As Lauren wrote this week, cialis sale,
“We saw an increase in the number of anti-choice women elected this year (and lost a handful of proven advocates for reproductive health choices), cialis sale, and have created quite a dangerous landscape for women’s freedom, cialis sale, health, cialis sale, and quality of life.”
Ann Marie Buerkle is one of those women.
WCF Heartbroken after Midterm Elections
As MsRep said yesterday, cialis sale, this year’s midterms were especially difficult for WCF, cialis sale, as we sent our entire staff onto the campaign trail with a number of our extraordinary women who support women’s reproductive health choices. Cialis sale, Unfortunately, cialis sale, we saw many more losses than wins, cialis sale, especially with our incumbent Congressional candidates—thus creating the fragile state of women’s freedom and privacy.
We take the recent backslide in women and advocates for reproductive health very seriously. Cialis sale, To ensure we can reverse this damage in 2012, cialis sale, the fight starts now.
Will you help WCF get a jump-start on propelling women forward in 2011 and beyond?
Your super-early investment in women candidates (and potential candidates) can have the most impact on their success. Cialis sale,

Purchase viagra
With last night’s concession of Rep. Purchase viagra, Melissa Bean, purchase viagra, the news we feared has come true: Women’s representation in Congress will decrease for the first time in over three decades as a result of the 2010 midterms.
Exactly how far we will backslide remains to be seen, purchase viagra, with Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Ann Marie Buerkle’s (NY-25) races still too close to call. Purchase viagra, If both win, purchase viagra, women will hold a total of 89 out of 535 Congressional seats, purchase viagra, or 16.6 percent.
If both Murkowski and Buerkle lose, purchase viagra, the furthest we will backslide is to 87 women in Congress; 16.2 percent.
Add to this the fact that we saw an increase in the number of anti-choice women elected this year (and lost a handful of proven advocates for reproductive health choices), purchase viagra, and we have created quite a dangerous landscape for women’s freedom, purchase viagra, health, purchase viagra, and quality of life.
So where do we go from here? How do we move forward knowing that women voters didn’t come to the polls to save their own advocates this year? How do we motivate women across the country to undo this damage in 2012?
And will any of us see women hold 50% of the seats in Congress, purchase viagra, state legislatures, purchase viagra, or governorships in our lifetime? At this rate, purchase viagra, the answer is no.

Why not indeed. Online cialis, GOP candidate Todd “Gender Discrimination Does Not Exist” Lally aside.

Amoxil
Yesterday’s primaries brought huge victories for women across the country—many who succeeded against great odds, amoxil, such as Sen. Amoxil, Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas and victim of egregious misogyny and racism, amoxil, Nikki Haley, amoxil, in South Carolina.
But the biggest headline we’re still seeing is how many of yesterday’s victorious women belong to the Republican party. Winning the GOP nomination last night were Carly Fiorina for U.S. Amoxil, Senate in California, amoxil, Meg Whitman for California Governor, amoxil, and anti-establishment candidate Sharron Angle for U.S. Amoxil, Senate in Nevada.
Though some of these women don’t share WCF’s views on reproductive health choices, amoxil, I am encouraged. Amoxil, This sudden deluge of victories ha
s forced the country to stand up and take notice of women’s political power. Amoxil,
That said, amoxil, I want to ask these candidates one question: If elected, amoxil, what will you do to advance women’s rights?
Many of you prevailed in spite of the Political Establishment. Amoxil, Now, amoxil, it is my great hope that you will use your hard-earned collective power to help us break up the Good Ol’ Boys’ Club and change the many existing harmful views against women.
It is my firm belief that we need more women in government—but it’s essential that they use their leadership to protect and empower all women in America.
That means working to turn the tide of the Establishment, amoxil, which continually looks to restrict women’s freedoms across the board.
We all know how difficult it is for Republican women to defend reproductive health choices. Amoxil, The party’s vicious attacks against Dede Scozzafava last year were a prime example of this.
In fact, amoxil, RNC member Bill Crocker said in January, amoxil,
“No more Scozzafavas, amoxil, please. Amoxil, No more Specters, amoxil, please. Amoxil, No more Chafees, amoxil, please.”
Well at WCF, amoxil, we want many more Scozzafavas, amoxil, please. At WCF, amoxil, we constantly look for Republican candidates who do support health choices, amoxil, work to provide a safe haven for those women, amoxil, and find new ways to recruit pro-choice Republican women.
Moderate Republican Woman shouldn’t be a bad word. Amoxil, We want both parties to acknowledge that most Americans believe health choices should be left up to the individual, amoxil, not the government or a politician.
So as the country lies in wait to see how many new GOP women will be elected this November, amoxil, I challenge these women to take a stand for their gender—not work against it.

Plavix sale
While Sarah Palin’s laundry list of controversial views has incensed a broad spectrum of Americans, plavix sale, she has been an especially sharp thorn in the sides of feminists. Plavix sale, And with her ever-increasing celebrity status, plavix sale, it seems we just can’t escape her damaging rhetoric.
But things just managed to get worse. Plavix sale, Now Palin is claiming that she’s a feminist? (April Fools? … Plavix sale, j/k? … Plavix sale, No?)
As if we don’t have enough trouble battling blatant anti-woman forces…now we have to face a political celeb who mistakenly identifies herself as one of us? Oye.
With feminists like Sarah Palin, plavix sale, who needs enemies?
It seems that Palin thinks by putting the word “Conservative” in front of “feminist, plavix sale,” she’s able to magically change its intrinsic meaning. Plavix sale, It would be like calling yourself a meat-loving vegetarian—it just doesn’t work. Plavix sale, Their goals directly contradict each other.
Of course, plavix sale, many actual feminists have already refuted and condemned Palin’s false identification. Plavix sale, Simply put by Taylor Marsh, plavix sale,
“Anything less than supporting women’s full individual rights simply renders you a pretender, plavix sale, a fake, plavix sale, a feminist fraud.”
While there has been debate about whether or not you can be an anti-choice feminist, plavix sale, the majority of thought and most of the feminist community concludes that you can’t. Plavix sale, (Basically, plavix sale, an individual’s choice for or against abortion for themselves shouldn’t apply to everyone - but that’s a giant topic for another day.)
As Palin has done nothing but use her own personal decisions to showcase her anti-reproductive choice stance, plavix sale, it’s clear that she doesn’t support women’s freedom to make their own personal choices. Plavix sale, Heretofore, plavix sale, she is not a feminist.
In fact, plavix sale, I would argue that it’s worse than that: Sarah Palin’s politics, plavix sale, views, plavix sale, and approach are actually harmful to women.
I say this especially in light of her battle plans against female candidates who would actually advocate for women’s rights. Plavix sale, In fact, plavix sale, she’s targeting many WCF-Endorsed Candidates.
WCF works to get more women into public office, plavix sale, from both sides of the aisle. Plavix sale, But we, plavix sale, along with many women’s organizations, plavix sale, believe that it’s imperative to elect more women who will defend women’s reproductive health.
Unfortunately, plavix sale, Palin’s recent actions aren’t just threatening to women’s health—her venomous and uncompromising approach to politics harms our entire country.
Many note that Palin and Bachmann’s political approach disproves the idea that women collaborate more than men. Plavix sale, As former Rep. Plavix sale, Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.) said, plavix sale,
“With Sarah and Michele [Bachmann], plavix sale, they’re not listeners — they want to tell you what to believe, plavix sale, so it’s a very different style than most women in politics have had.”
But at a time when explosive partisan politics continues to deepen our divisions, plavix sale, do we really want leaders who will only continue to tear that expanse further apart?
And I must remind everyone that Palin’s extreme reproductive choice views don’t reflect those of most Americans; who believe that individuals, plavix sale, not politicians or the government, plavix sale, should decide which option is best for themselves and their families.
It deeply saddens me to witness the destruction caused by women like Sarah Palin; who could use their powers for good, plavix sale, not evil; whose goals aren’t to truly empower women, plavix sale, but strip them of their freedoms; who don’t foster much-needed collaboration, plavix sale, but boast how they would further divide; who aren’t a true voice for all women, plavix sale, but tow the line of minority opinion.
As recent elections have overwhelmingly demonstrated, plavix sale, our current political system often fails women. Plavix sale, And Palin’s tactics only further polarize our political system, plavix sale, making it increasingly difficult for women to succeed within it.
I truly hope that voters this November will choose collaboration over division; new approaches over stale partisan politics; and advancing women’s rights instead of turning back the clock.

Synthroid
As the divisive battle over reproductive health continues, synthroid, both sides continue to declare that their views are supported by most Americans.
But as the Women’s Donor Network’s research has discovered, synthroid, it’s all in the way you frame the question. Synthroid, And when asked about people’s freedom to make individual life choices, synthroid, it seems that most Americans want that right—which includes access to the full range of reproductive health choices.
An excerpt from their Moving Forward research findings is below:
MOVING FORWARD TOP 10 KEY FINDINGS
A NEW FRAME LEADS TO A NEW DISCUSSION; IT MATTERS WHERE YOU START THE CONVERSATION.
The frame incorporates the word “life” in a new way and prompts people to naturally use language that conveys a set of core American values including individual decision-making, synthroid, responsibility, synthroid, respect, synthroid, freedom and prevention.
By using the word “decisions, synthroid,” we can highlight the more serious, synthroid, deliberative nature of making a choice, synthroid, supporting public opinion for many choices and options.
Birth control is supported by 91% of voters.
In the opinion of eight out of 10 voters (78%), synthroid, the government has a responsibility to ensure birth control methods, synthroid, emergency contraception and the HPV vaccine are safe and available.
A large majority (81%) believe that regarding these important life decisions, synthroid, individuals, synthroid, not politicians or the government, synthroid, should decide which option is best for themselves and their families, synthroid, according to their own circumstances and values. Synthroid,
Both men and women (78%) believe that for women to achieve equality, synthroid, they must have access to family planning services, synthroid, including birth control.
91% believe couples should be able to have access to birth control options.
86% believe that on comprehensive sex education, synthroid, schools can do a good job, synthroid, probably better than most parents, synthroid, on the biological and scientific aspects of sex education, synthroid, but it’s a parent’s job to provide the moral and ethical guidance.
76% believe that for teenagers, synthroid, prevention starts with comprehensive sex education including abstinence. Synthroid, But, synthroid, if we are serious about wanting to decrease unintended pregnancies, synthroid, we also need to make sure birth control is widely available and accessible.
A strong majority of voters (87%) agree insurance companies should be required to cover women’s preventive care and screenings, synthroid, such as contraception, synthroid, Pap tests for cervical cancer and breast cancer screenings.
VOTERS WANT ABORTION TO BE PUT IN PERSPECTIVE AND NOT BANNED
The current political discussion focuses mostly on abortion, synthroid, but voters want a broader discussion that is more relevant to their everyday lives.
A strong majority of voters (81%) think that issues such as birth control, synthroid, emergency contraception, synthroid, comprehensive sex education, synthroid, stem cell research, synthroid, end-of-life decisions and the hpv vaccine are just as important as abortion.
Eight out of 10 voters (81%) agree that they “may have one position on abortion, synthroid, another on birth control and still a third on end-of-life decisions” and that “sometimes we must just agree to disagree.”
Support for legal, synthroid, safe abortions has been consistent for three decades.
In the view of eight out of 10 voters (81%), synthroid, we should each appreciate and respect our individual opinions.
INTENSITY AND HIGH LEVELS OF SUPPORT FOR THE BROAD AGENDA EXIST ACROSS RELIGION, synthroid, PARTY AFFILIATION AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS
Our research shows that regardless of religious affiliation, synthroid, church attendance, synthroid, abortion stand or voting history, synthroid, a strong majority of voters agree with key statements that support a broader agenda:
A strong majority of Catholic (81%) and Republican (62%) voters agree that: “The current political debate focuses on abortion. Synthroid, But there is a much broader discussion that needs to happen that includes issues such as birth control, synthroid, emergency contraception, synthroid, comprehensive sex education, synthroid, stem cell research, synthroid, end-of-life decisions, synthroid, and the HPV vaccine, synthroid, that are just as important.”
A strong majority of Catholic (85%) and Republican (66%) voters also agree that: “We need to respect people’s ability to make their own life decisions and not impose our values and views on them.” Support is strong regardless of religion, synthroid, church attendance, synthroid, voting history or abortion stance.
VOCAL HARD RIGHT ACTIVISTS STOPPING PROGRESS ON THE BROADER AGENDA ARE ONLY 9% OF ALL LIKELY VOTERS
A cluster analysis of our research reveals that a small percentage of voters dominate the discussion of the broader agenda.
These extremely politically active voters are opposed to family planning and comprehensive sex education; their opposition is fueled by moral and religious beliefs.
They largely identify themselves are Republican voters: 81% (14% say they are ticketsplitters; 5% say they are Democrats).
