Carly Fiorina is not a Feminist Icon

For those of you who buy into this faux outrage of the Beltway press in defense of Ms. Fiorina's honor-and all womanhood, I'm sure-and who buy into the idea that Trump is what hurts the GOP brand with women-rather than its noxious anti female policies that Trump is actually mostly to the Left of-see this piece right here.

"Donald Trump continues to talk about the Planned Parenthood abortion business and, in a new interview late Tuesday, he said Planned Parenthood should possibly be de-funded if it doesn’t stop doing abortions. That seems almost a guarantee since abortion is the central component of Planned parenthood’s business — though the Republican candidate didn’t appear to know that."

"Some pro-life advocates have interpreted comments from Trump as essentially allowing Planned Parenthood to continue receiving $550 million in taxpayer funding since it doesn’t separate its abortion business from everything else it does."

"Fiorina, who herself said she supports a government shutdown if Planned Parenthood is not de-funded, took Trump to task over his remarks and said they make him sound like a Democrat. Here’s more:

“Unfortunately, I think Mr. Trump is taking the Democrat Party’s talking points on Planned Parenthood,” Fiorina said in an interview released by CBS News on Wednesday.

“There are many other organizations that exist to help women with their health issues — pap smears, mammograms, et cetera,” added Fiorina, who has climbed in the polls following her widely praised performance at last week’s debate.

“In fact, Planned Parenthood does very few mammograms, just as one example, but what they do is a whole lot of abortions,” she said.

Fiorina made similar marks in a new interview with the Weekly Standard:

“I profoundly disagree with that statement by Donald Trump,” said the former Hewlett-Packard CEO. 

“They need to be defunded. There are many organizations that provide the kind of services that he mentioned. Planned Parenthood must be defunded.”

The sad thing is that Trump is a better advocate for women than Fiorina. He doesn't think the government should shut down over PP and he at least supports exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mohter.

Fiorina does believe in those exceptions as well-though she wants to shut down the government over PP. The 'serious GOP candidates' Jeb, Rubio. and Scott Walker-it's tough to call him serious any more with 2% of the vote-all don't make the exceptions of rape and incest and Walker doesn't even except the life of the mother.

Huckabee made headlines by opposing abortion for an 11 year old pregnant rape victim.

Yet Trump is the reason the party has problems with women?

Trump is also on the record for not cutting Social Security but Ms. Fiorina has declared her views on SS a secret that she will divulge after she's elected.
