Recent Debate over Contraception Comes as GOP Loses Gains Among Women

The fragile gains Republicans had been making among female voters have
been erased, a shift that has coincided with what has become a national
shouting match over reproductive issues, potentially handing President
Obama and the Democrats an enormous advantage this fall.
.
In the 2010 congressional midterm elections, Republican candidates ran
evenly with Democrats among women, a break with long-established trends.
That was a major reason the GOP regained control of the U.S. House of
Representatives.
.
Now, female voters appear to be swinging back to Democrats.
.
A number of polls show that Obamas approval among women has risen
significantly since December, even as it has remained flat among men. The
same trend, which began before the controversy in recent weeks, is also
showing up further down the ballot.

Both sides have tried to shape the narrative in this battle for and about
women. But many Republicans are beginning to wish they had never waded
into what has become a heated conversation over contraception, who should
have it and what it says about people who use it.
.
GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway, an adviser to presidential candidate Newt
Gingrichs campaign, said Republicans need to return to pocketbook and
fiscal issues. We know what works, she said, and we need to get back to
it.
.
Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) recalled in an interview organizing
meetings at the Reagan White House in the 1980s to help Republicans
grapple with what was being dubbed the gender gap. Since then, she said,
we had made quantum leaps.
.
We really dont want to reignite a disparity of support between men and
women, she added, saying the debate over contraception could create some
serious fractures among women if were not careful. It feels as if we are
going back to another era.
.
In focus groups, said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, what women are
expressing is not anger at the positions Republicans are taking but
frustration with the amount of attention reproductive issues are getting.
.
Particularly among blue-collar women, she said, what we hear is, How can
you be arguing over this when Rome is still burning for me and my family??
.
Even the wife of presidential contender Rick Santorum has told him to quit
trumpeting his opposition to birth control.
