This morning I was grumbling about needing to put a blog post up and not wanting to compose one. Actually I have a topic in mind but it’s a bit long and complicated and I want to think about it some more, but nothing else sprang to mind. So I was glad to find an email from a friend/reader giving me some suggestions of interesting things to read and blog about.
One is this: Face of Pro-Life Movement, a collection of photographs from San Francisco — I assume from the annual March for Life.
As I look at the photos I can’t help but think about how much media coverage of the presidential campaign has assumed that white women, in general, are lining up uniformly to vote for Hillary Clinton while black women, according to a recent puke-inducing CNN story, are supposedly conflicted not about any issues (life or otherwise) about whether to vote "their race or their sex," i.e., for Obama or for Clinton.
Apparently no women are likely to be voting in the Republican primaries, or at least that’s the conventional story. (In an effort to find some stories I searched for "conservative women" in the Google box on CNN.com, and the only sites that came up that used the phrase are dating services.)
