More Fun With Fiorina

Carly Fiorina, we miss you. Please convince the McCain campaign to let you start doing interviews again so that you can say some more stupid things and give us more material.

John McCain senior advisor Carly Fiorina dismissed suggestions Sunday that women supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (R-N.Y.) will turn away from Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) because of her anti-abortion rights views.

“The Democratic party has done a disservice to women by trying to hold women hostage to the issue of Roe v. Wade,” Fiorina said on CBS’s Face the Nation. “The truth is the most important issue to women, all the polls say this, is the economy. Women are not single issue voters.”

Democrats believe in each woman's right to choose what is right for her life, her family, her circumstances, and her health. Republicans believe in limiting options and making choices for women. If women are "held hostage", it is not by the party that believes we deserve the freedom to control our own bodies, to take advice from our doctors rather than our Senators, to have access to accurate information to help us in our decisions, and to have affordable health care and support so that we can truly plan our families in the best way possible.

There is only one candidate in this race who holds the belief that women and girls who are victims of rape and incest should be forced to carry any resulting pregnancies to term. I imagine many victims in that situation would feel like they were being "held hostage" by the men who raped them. And Sarah Palin's not on the Democratic ticket.

It's true, Carly. Women aren't single issue voters. That's why so many of us will be voting for the Democrats in November - we don't want to be held hostage by anti-woman policies for four more years.
