Boehner’s Half Right on Women, and the Polls Prove It

Martha Burk writes in The Huffington Post: “House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters the GOP’s abortion ban that passed the House 228-196 on Tuesday won’t change the party’s relationship with women. He says the bill is ‘extremely popular across party and gender lines.’ He’s half right. It won’t change the party’s relationship with women, because women already hate the GOP. As for abortion bans being ‘extremely popular’ across party and gender lines, the most charitable interpretation is that Boehner is delusional.”
