A Romney vote is a setback for women

Mitt Romney’s position on women should be of grave concern. Certainly, a man who has spent his “entire life in private business” has met qualified, capable women over the course of that time. Elect Mitt Romney and his naive, antiquated view of women underscored by a faith history that precludes women from holding positions of consequence in his church and women’s progress will stall and reverse.

Women, if you want to continue to fight the battles we’ve thought were won, then, Gov. Romney should be your choice. Not for me, I choose to build on the progress women have made and will cast my vote for a man who views women as equals. Yes, President Barack Obama gets my vote, again. Let’s continue to move the rights of women forward!
