1. Romney adviser dismisses women’s issues as ‘shiny objects’ →

    Mitt Romney’s senior campaign adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, on Sunday said that social issues important to women, like contraception coverage and abortion rights, were “shiny objects” that were being used to distract voters. […]

    “Mitt Romney is pro-life,” the senior adviser admitted to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “He’ll govern as a pro-life president, but you’re going to see the Democrats use all sorts of shiny objects to distract people’s attention from the Obama performance on the economy. This is not a social issue election.”

    Look. I’ve said this before. There have been plenty of moments in the last 3.5 years where I thought Obama could have done better - much better, in fact - on reproductive rights and reproductive justice.

    But the things I have problems with when it comes to Obama are NOT going to be fixed by electing Romney. No way.
