Republican Women Profiles

1 / 8

There are no women on the major presidential tickets this year, but we're still getting lots of attention. The women's vote is crucial to both parties and we make up one of the fastest growing voting demographics. Right now, President Obama holds a sizable lead in the polls with women. And Republicans haven't helped their cause with those who support reproductive rights. Mitt Romney opposes the free birth control mandate in the Affordable Care Act and funding for Planned Parenthood, and the official party platform calls for a ban on abortion in all cases. But there wasn't much sign of the GOP's "war on women," as the Democrats call it, while I was at the RNC in Tampa. Enthusiastic Republican women were showing their support for Mitt Romney.

Admittedly, these are the party faithful and not swing voters. Still, they don't always agree with everything their party supports, even if they really want Romney to defeat President Obama. Some of the women I spoke to, for example, identified as pro-choice. If you'd like insight into who the women are at the RNC, keep reading for my original profiles.

I think it is great you are trying to inform readers of more insight into BOTH parties, it makes sense the republicans are covered first as their convention comes first. Please continue highlighting the election from both viewpoints.

I think it is great you are covering BOTH Republican and Democratic National Conventions, with class and respect. Seriously, "anti-Obama"? You must watch CNN right?

Boy, most of the commenters are foaming at the mouth with which manifests itself by their hatred of any one saying something negative about their false God, Obama. Really shows their lack of character and intolerance. Annie Cutter is a propagandist. Among other lies, she states, "the official party platform calls for a ban on abortion in all cases." Annie, where did you get that falsehood? Daily Kos? An email from team Obama? You should really consider your sources and not be so lazy about doing a little research, or you"ll spend your whole career being a lowly writer for an obscure website like this.

Tammy Flynn said it all: "Republicans don't compromise." Very childish and problematic.

Um... Everyone understands that there's Republican coverage now because that convention is going on now, right? I'm sure there will be plenty of Democrat coverage when that convention starts. They're only covering the Republicans because that's the one that's currently happening...

@sweetocd I totally agree. I was under the impression that PopSugar was at least a neutral media outlet. Guess not!

@sweetocd We'll be heading to the DNC, too. So hopefully you can check back for our coverage of that.

I am so disappointed in Popsugar! I had no idea that this site was going to be so blatantly pro-Republican...its just so inappropriate for a media outlet to promote political views of any kind......are you trying to manipulate your fan base? You are exhibiting anti-Obama sentiments here, what has that got to do with entertainment news? We don't read Popsugar for politics, we don't need to know who your writers vote for, surely? Now I'm really embarrassed that I was a regular reader. Consider me "signed out".
