Just when things were starting to calm down with the so-called “war on women” during this presidential election, the Obama Tumblr blog posted an e-card that instructed women to “vote like your lady parts depend on it.” But calm down, this is not a message that he likely approved…although it made for a good viral discussion while infuriating some.

Okay, so it’s not exactly shocking that President Barack Obama, a pro-choice Democrat, is against the “legitimate rape can’t knock you up” hoo-ha spouted by anti-choice GOP Rep. Todd Akin Sunday. Even fellow Republicans, including Mitt Romney, are slamming Akin for his remarks and suggesting he rethink his U.S. Senate bid. Still, I dig that Obama not only dissed Akin’s comments but the whole culture of male politicians making asinine comments about women’s reproductive systems and trying to control our health care choices.

Right or wrong, women’s reproductive rights are a major issue in this year’s presidential race. Now, more than ever before, it’s important that every woman takes the time to fully understand what Mitt Romney and President Obama really stand for–not just what media rhetoric or public smear campaigns want you to believe. A lot has certainly been written about women’s reproductive rights, including specifically, abortion, so we’ve tried to clear through the clutter to give you an accurate overview of what Obama and Romney really say about this–because you can’t always believe what you hear elsewhere.

Just in time for this week’s latest debate on women and birth control, Michele Bachmann jumps in with her opinion–and it’s a doozy. According to the fine congresswoman, Obama’s contraception mandate requiring religious organizations to cover birth control could lead to our government limiting how many babies are born per family. Communist China, anyone? More

In his new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, Joe McGinniss reveals something that I’m sure he thought would shock people: Palin has snorted cocaine. Off an overturned 55-gallon drum during a snowmobile excursion, no less. Along with this allegation, he also claims she had her share of affairs and domestic struggles at home. (But let’s stick with the health-indiscretions of doing drugs for now.) Aside from trying to picture Miss Going Rogue herself snorting coke and then attempting to drive a snowmobile (let’s hope she was out in the middle of Alaska’s nowhere), I don’t see how this affects my–or anyone’s–political view of her.
