  1. For women, reproductive rights are economic issues

    Sensing, perhaps, that they are losing the public relations battle after Senate candidate Todd Akin's forehead-slapping views on "legitimate rape" and the female body's magical ability to guard against pregnancy, Republicans are trying now to focus on the "real" issues of the economy and jobs, which play to businessman Mitt Romney's strengths, rather than the "side issue" of reproductive rights. Birth control and abortion were non-topics at the recent Republican convention. The GOP argument, in the words of Florida attorney general Pat Bondi, is that women don't care about a party's stance on women's reproductive health: "What women care about are jobs, the economy, the unemployment rate." In this narrative, reproductive freedom is relevant only to special interest groups and liberals anxious to draw attention away from the "real" issues facing our nation.

  2. For McMahon, Party's Not Part Of Her Campaign Pitch

    Linda McMahon is the Republicans' nominee for U.S. Senate, but you wouldn't know that from her ubiquitous TV commercials.
    The Hartford Courant
    Linda McMahon is the Republicans' nominee for U.S. Senate, but you wouldn't know that from her ubiquitous TV commercials. McMahon's decision to underplay her party affiliation in her TV ads, on her website and in her mailers is politically pragmatic in a...

  3. Unconventional

    A nation of predominantly couch-bound television watchers got some bad news tonight, as President Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination and delivered the following line: "America's not about what can be done for us, it's about what can be done by us."

  5. Akin reveals GOP view of women

    Letter writer Ron Wiring seeks to minimize the fallout from Rep. Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comment by equating it with former Rep. Anthony Weiner sending pictures to admirers of his more-than-adequate abs swathed in a towel ("Neither party is...

    Growing up in New York state, I was raised a Democrat. I don’t remember there being any discussion in our family as to why. Democrats controlled most elected offices and had held them for years. That is just the way it was. As a young Democratic...

  9. The ethics of abortion

    Congrats to Christopher Dreisbach on his thoughtful presentation of the logical and ethical considerations necessary to the anti-abortion argument ("Abortion ethics not so simple," Aug. 28). What gets my blood boiling though, is that he apparently misses...

  10. If abortion is murder, many should be headed to prison

    Christopher Dreisbach is right that if abortion at any stage is murder, then it's difficult to oppose Rep. Todd Akin's claim that an aborted fetus resulting from rape is an innocent victim ("Abortion ethics not so simple," Aug. 28). But it is equally...
