Can Republicans Regain Women Voters?

Republicans don't deserve any woman's vote. They are clearly determined to repeal the 1960s, including a woman's right to choose when and whether to conceive and carry a fetus to term. The birth control pill made that right available to women. The sexual revolution combined with the Second Wave of feminism bolstered it.
The women haters in the GOP can't stand to see a woman in control of her own body. My guess is that the GOP War on Women is driven largely by male fear of women's sexual power. They are having a snit fit over women's natural rights.

When I see some of the state house bills around the country, I shudder. Insurance restrictions aimed at women. Ultrasound probes?
Women know the economy will come back. They also know hard earned freedoms lost will never come back. Visions of women in veils are not unrealistic in the Republican world of the future.
For those who remember Iran in the early 60s/70s, women dressed like Jackie Kennedy. IT CAN CHANGE.
Women will send Republicans to their rooms to contemplate whether their coalition with wing nuts is worth keeping.

I'm a woman in a swing-state, and I am certain that Obama's divide and conquer tactics and his "war on women" will NOT affect the anti-Obama vote coming out of this state.

The GOP has survived a war against the middle class- they are still hoping not many read Paul Ryan's budget- but may have more difficulty in connection with their war against women. Women will vote on the issues that matter to them. Middle class men can be convinced to vote against their economic interest if some unimportant tangential issue is fed to them.
