Pelosi Accuses GOP of Waging War on Women in Fundraising Pitch …(Republicans Won’t Give Free Birth Control)

Pelosi is up to her games again.

Former Speaker Pelosi accused Republicans of waging a war on women today in a campaign pitch because they won’t hand out free birth control.
The Hill reported:

In the Democrats’ latest fundraising bid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday accused Republicans of waging a “war on women.”

The California Democrat is hoping the GOP’s high-profile opposition to President Obama’s birth-control mandate will alienate women and independent voters — and lure campaign cash to the Democrats’ coffers.

In an email blasted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), Pelosi urged a $3 donation “to send a clear message that we will not tolerate or stand by while Republicans wage war on women’s rights.”

“March 31st is the first quarterly Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline of 2012 and the first since the Republicans’ unprecedented assault on women’s rights,” Pelosi said. “The national media and our opponents will use our grassroots fundraising totals to measure the strength of our opposition to the Republicans’ War on Women.”

Women’s healthcare issues have generated countless headlines since last month, when radio personality Rush Limbaugh called a female law student a “slut” and a “prostitute” for her support of Obama’s new contraception mandate. Mitt Romney has also entered the debate, calling for an end to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest reproductive health provider, which also offers abortion services.

Pelosi’s recent message is just the latest indication that Democrats don’t want voters to forget those episodes anytime soon.
