In reply to the discussion: Before we get too wrapped up in this Ann Romney flap... [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,450 posts)is as certain as the sun rising every day. I heard about this last night and figured that it would be all over the news today and the Republicans and their allies would be in full-blown "outrage" mode all day long. I am owed a Coke. That being said, in regards to the OP, you are exactly correct. The Republicans knew they fumbled badly yesterday and jumped all over Rosen's comment for an attempted recovery. It will, however, by no means change the Republican war on caterpillars.....er.....women. Rosen's comments won't suddenly erase the existence of reams of legislation nationwide attacking abortion rights, birth control, Planned Parenthood, and everything else that they are doing to humiliate women, etc. Plus, now that Ann Romney is out there saying that she believes in "freedom of choice" for women, we can now expect her and/or the Romney campaign to have to repudiate every piece of anti-choice legislation that pops up wherever instigated by Republicans.
