We're not in a red state, but my 92 year old MIL will go vote for Obama and Warren because she is so outraged by the attacks concerning choice and Planned Parenthood. I was not sure whether she would go as we are in blue MA and frankly, she is sensitive to the tax cuts arguments and think that Romney was a good governor, but these issues are dominant for her and for many women that have known what not having Roe vs Wade was.

I was shocked that my SIL (who lives in a red state and calls herself an independent, though she tends to repeat Fox talking points) announced her intention to vote for Obama and the Democratic Senate candidate (for exactly the same reason).

Frankly, I am more concerned by younger women, who think that the rights they have are forever. Sorry, kids, we still have those jokers on the right who think the place of a woman is in the kitchen. Romney is clearly one of them (may be in the living room if you are rich enough to have a maid).

His wife is a lock step repub and she thinks he's voting for scumney. He told both me and my husband he's voting for Obama but swore us to secrecy And he's in Iowa

how a woman could vote for the Rape is a Gift of God Party....

They keep quiet to keep the peace, but use their voice where it matters on election day.

But this weekend, she told me she was a "feminist democrat" when we were alone.

Surprised the heck out of me

some are afraid to tell pollsters the truth. I think women will vote for the President.

in Alabama that will be voting for Obama.. We are in a Pro-Choice group here, that protests in front of a clinic in Huntsville,AL.. We know who cares about our rights.. I am from NY, but I was so amazed to find this group of women out here.. Women in the south are waking up to this.. Especially since all these rape comments..

My Repub MIL is voting dem in the house race for sure. She is adamantly pro-choice. My SO has been explaining to her quietly and out of my FIL hearing that Romney will stack the Supreme Court with anti-choicers. Maybe, just maybe, she will vote Obama too.

I'm getting a sense that there's gonna be alot of white male goppers voting for President Obama, as well. I base this on some of the comments posted to my local daily rag's on-line discussion board ... yesterday, there were zero "Pro-romney" posts; but several anti-President Obama posts ... but noticably, many of the consistently republican posters, were oddly silent/absent; and those that did post, posted really, really neutral statements, like, "all we can did is vote our conscience and pray for our nation."

a lot more women seem to "obey" their husbands and fathers and priests/pastors than I had ever thought would.

Sure, the GOP's neanderthal beliefs regarding womens' rights have been around for a long time, but the GOP was a lot quieter about womens' issues back then. In 2000 they tried to disguise themselves as moderates (remember "compassionate conservatism?&quot , and in 2004 they were too busy screaming "TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!" (trying to appeal to women because Republicans would "keep your family safe from those ebil terra-ists&quot to say much about womens' rights at all.

The fetus-sign-waving abortion clinic protesters have unfortunately been with us ever since Roe v. Wade, but it was not until 2010 that their hijacking of the GOP was complete. Now their neanderthal beliefs lie far more fully exposed than they did during the Bush years, and in the privacy of the voting booth, I would certainly expect (and hope) that women vote accordingly their interests.

Enough said.

Caveat: I'm a 49 year old white male and every Dem on the ballot is getting my vote this time.

Told me she is not voting for Romney this year, probably first time ever not voting (R) for president. But she also told me that she's keeping it a secret from everybody else in her life. I bet there are more out there like her.

lanes. The cashiers were too. I'm in CO.

Just because it feels like we are fighting this stuff all over again. They won and so can we.

politics, but 'liked' the Romney page on facebook--which surprised me. She put something else up nothing over the top but no doubt showed support for Romney. I was talking to her and told her be sure to vote today, even though I know we weren't voting for the same guy for president. She said 'don't be so sure about that, there are something my husband doesn't need to know, I have to keep up appearances' I was shocked.

I couldn't imagine living like that. Having to hide what you believe who you support from your husband. Those days are long gone. I feel bad for her.
