I'm guessing your copying essentially the whole article into your post was intended to ensure your quotation was not taken out of context, but rather would be understood as the entire context.

I did spare you the entire second page

One can only assume John Edwards wasn't available.

‘We Like Sex Too’: Conservative Women Ponder The GOP’s Gender Gap

She also argued that rising energy costs, not contraception, was a big women’s issue in 2012 and that Republicans had missed an opportunity in not connecting with women over rising energy costs, even though energy was one plank of presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s five-point plan he touted on the trail this fall.

When prodded by audience questions, the panelists said that contraception was a non-issue. As Hemingway put it, contraception was thought up by Democrats who found it tested well in focus groups despite being a completely settled issue. Her response was to urge Republicans to respond with their own accusations that are “just as crazy,” something like, “they’re stealing your hot dogs!”

Less than one week left until we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade! There's still time to RSVP to our exciting events! Everything is happening on Tuesday, January 22 - the actual 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision.

At noon, join us for a visibility! We'll meet at Broad & Walnut and let passersby know how important it is to protect Roe. We'll provide the signs - just bring yourself and your friends! Please RSVP by visiting roe40philly.eventbrite.com.

Keep the celebrations going by joining us at MilkBoy (11th & Chestnut) from 5pm-7pm. For a $10 donation, enjoy specially priced drinks and great company. Check out our History of Roe timeline, win a PPSP t-shirt, and more! Please RSVP by visiting cocktails4roe.eventbrite.com.

If you want to celebrate but can't come out for either of these events, you can still commemorate Roe by getting involved in our Twitter Rally or Roe Blog Carnival!

it's not 'yay for abortions' it's 'yay for women's rights to their own goddamn decisions, and the ability to have a safe, legal medical procedure'. it seems so easy for people to be disgusted by abortion, but so tough for them to feel for the woman who goes through it.

Obviously there is, you just have a differing opinion. Ladies dying is in poor taste.

See, here I think is an example of the left being disconnected from everyone else. I agree with Housh--it's in poor taste. And I'd add--it's going to do the pro-choice movement more political harm than good.

Was it in poor taste to celebrate the end of WWII when over 10MM died?

The end of the war meant people were going to stop dying.

And abortion rights mean women stop dying from botched, illegal abortions.

you can look at it as celebrating a landmark case for women's (reproductive) rights and not as celebrating abortions

There's an element of tragedy to every abortion choice. But that women have the right to choose, rather than it being in the hands of some politician or priest, is arguably worth celebrating.

That said, this isnt a simple issue, and it could be a case of "if you're explaining, you're losing."

looks freudian-slippish to me: stealing your hot dogs, rather than your hamburgers
