“Obama Campaign plans big effort to court Women:  OutReach to Millions, Capitalizing on Partisan fights over Abortion and Birth control”

President Obama’s re-election campaign is beginning an intensified effort this week to build support among women, using the debate over the new health care law to amplify an appeal that already appears to be benefiting from partisan clashes over birth control and abortion.

An effort called “Nurses for Obama” will begin on Wednesday, with nurses nationwide enlisted to be advocates for the health care law in their communities. And a new Web site will include links to video testimonials about the health care overhaul signed by Mr. Obama in 2010, including from a former critic who subsequently was found to have breast cancer.

The campaign is trying to use the political climate to regain the traditional Democratic advantage among women, even as moderate Republican and independent women voice disenchantment with the Republican focus on social issues.

In Virginia, another battleground, Barbara Kanninen volunteered a month ago to help lead a “Women for Obama” network and said “it’s growing fast” thanks to the debates in Washington and Richmond. “The conversations at these house parties are very much dominated by women concerned about all this,” said Ms. Kanninen, a freelance economist and mother of two teenage boys. Her own house party drew women that she did not know and three members of her choral group with whom she had never discussed politics, Ms. Kanninen said, and each day brings at least one new message of interest on her Facebook page from some woman who has heard of the group. 

“Women 30 to 55 are always the most important target in health care,” said Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster who helps conduct the Journal/NBC poll. “They’re caregivers, taking care of children and parents, and are more engaged and active in the health care system, more than any other age and gender. It’s not surprising they’d be a target of the Obama administration and campaign on this issue.” 

Common Sense Review

Women stand up and not be a pawn for politicians.  In this time in the US history where economics, personal liberty, and civil strife issues at hand, yet the Obama campaign wants to show that they are for the women. 

Many women who have come before us (not Gloria Steinem or Jane Fonda) and died for the US society to stop see women as meek pieces property to vital members of society.  Let us not take a step back… the future women are counting on us to stay strong…. We don’t need the govt to tell us what we need, we demand from the govt to stay out of our live, belief and families
