As I said, the Republicans need to look at the reasons they don't have a diversified Congressional presence, to the same degree as the Democrats. The Republicans have a lot of women in its ranks, so why do they sometimes not vote Republican? Could it be comments by key Republicans, like "binders full of women," "look at that face...who would vote for that?" "rape is to be expected when you put women and men together," "I don't support any exceptions to an abortion ban," "Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband," "Bette Midler's ugly face and body are offensive," "women who experience legitimate rape rarely experience pregnancy because the body won't allow pregnancy to occur," "God intended [pregnancy from rape] to happen," and so on (comments by Republican politicians).
After 2010 Republican states passed an unprecedented 1100+ legislations against health concerns and reproductive rights of women.
Republicans voted against domestic violence bill.
Republicans were against ACA mandate that ins. cos. cover birth control.
Republicans convened an all male Congressional panel to investigate contraception by women.
Defunding of Planned Parenthood, one of the few resources available to poor women for birth control. (Abortion represents less than 3% of what PP does.)
Republicans eliminated, in our assistance to other poor nations, assistance regarding birth control.
Republican launch of proposal to eliminate WIC, a program to assist poor pregnant women, and to assist with buying milk for poor babies (program has a surplus).
Republicans have voted against all equal pay bills.
And so on. I'm not saying all the bills above were good, but it looks like Republican men are obsessed with women's pay and reproductive rights, and not in a good way.
