Other Women

For John, BLUF:  It isn't always the way the Democrat Mouthpieces say it is.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This is Slate, so not likely an organ of the Tea Parties.  Or the Establishment GOP.  But, here it is—"The Midterms Were Only Bad for Women If You Have a Very Narrow View of Women".

From the second paragraph:

If you are against everything Joni Ernst or Mia Love stand for, then this election was bad for you, and the policies you care about, not bad for women.  It should be obvious, but “women”—half the population—are not a uniform voting block with uniform ideas about what is best for them.  Though [Ms Ann] Friedman claims that Ernst was “a woman candidate whom most women voted against,” NBC’s Iowa exit poll shows that’s just not the case: Ernst and her opponent Bruce Braley split the female vote evenly, 49 to 49 percent.  Though I personally find Ernst’s far right views terrifying (she believes in fetal personhood and wants to abolish the EPA and the Department of Education), “women” in Iowa do not agree with me, and she’s their representative, not mine.

Fetal personhood.  Now there is a terrifying thought.  But, close to the locus of voter opinion.  Abortion should be available, but it is wrong.  Both views are held by more than 75% of the votes, which must include at least some women.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
