For All Women, No Dilemma
An undecided female voter called Tom Ashbrook's "On Point" program today. Her dilemma: She thinks voting for Romney might be better for the economy and help her get a job. But she wants to vote for Pres. Obama b/c he will protect her personal and civil rights.
The obvious, but unsaid, answer is that she should vote for Obama. With Obama, her personal and civil rights are protected and economic progress is on track to continue.
Romney's multiple and fluid economic plans might or might not succeed. But the continued Republican assaults on women's rights and the guaranteed appointment of at least one ultra-conservative Supreme Court justice would doom Roe v. Wade and possibly access to any form of contraceptives.
As some people have noted, this is a family issue, not just a women's issue, that will affect not only the "On Point" caller, but all families in America for generations to come.
For this undecided voter or ANY woman, what is the dilemma?
