The Romney campaign’s basic strategy on so-called women’s issues is to change the subject: what women really care about is not their own rights but the economy. You’ll notice no one else is being asked to sacrifice their rights to bring back jobs—certainly not employers or the 1 percent. And the joke on women is, few of them will see much of those promised tax cuts—which are skewed toward the wealthy, not the waitress—but women will definitely suffer under the severe budget cuts that are the other half of Romney’s proposals, since they are the teachers, social workers, healthcare workers and other public employees who will find themselves unemployed.
