Since Republicans stuck abortion restrictions on a bill about Islamic law, why don’t they go ahead and make women wear veils, scarves and robes?
Apparently they’re inspired by Texas Governor Rick Perry. Now watch North Carolina women get fired up like Wendy Davis.
This will be a test for Governor McCrory. Will he stand up to the Fox News wing of his party? Or will he break his promise to the voters to oppose further abortion restrictions?
McCrory’s reelection in 2016 could come down to whether he is seen a patsy, a pawn of a rogue legislature that seems intent on alienating every voter who isn’t an Angry Old White Man.
I’ll take a coalition of women, young people, minorities, gays, teachers, city dwellers, suburbanites, seniors, university and community college students and grads, enlightened business people, progressives and moderates against this GOP any day.
The abortion fight should be a wakeup call for young women, say those under 30. They have grown up since the great battles to protect women’s health freedoms. They take the victories for granted. Wait until they realize what the Republicans want to take away.
