Have a right to make her own healthcare choices.

I did but these bad.

-- -- How the latest fox poll shows President Obama in a comfortable lead 51% of women voters supported.

-- and other developments on the campaign trail Republican strategist Fox News political analyst Angela McGlowan.

Fox News contributor radio talk show hosts and Peter Jackson.

Good to see you -- them Angela I mean the governor here is in real trouble with women.

Yeah -- look and is managed to gain an absolute -- no question but.

Obama does not have this voting -- tied -- in 2010.

Where.

It was women who actually gave Republicans the majority.

And the house and a slim margin in the senate in 2008 Obama -- the women's voting -- overwhelmingly.

Against McCain so it's up for grabs but I have to say.

My Brothers in the Republican Party need to work and that message and -- this advocacy campaign and women are not -- We just don't care about reproductive rights policy who's gonna give us free birth control.

-- in the.

President sounds like that's that's the principal concern I don't think that the principal concern but any time governor Romney says that his plan is to eliminate Planned Parenthood women ought to be worried -- Because 97%.

Of what Planned Parenthood does have nothing to do with a portion.

Three quarters of those people they serve are below the poverty line I want to hear.

Governor Romney President Obama both of them and independents talk about the median wealth employment which for black women is 100 dollars Hispanic women.

120 dollars but for white women it's 41000 dollars which is far less than their white male counterparts.

Women have some real issues you write that go beyond reproductive health but that is central -- But I find that yes that that has not changed.

Over the course democratic congresses Republican congresses Republican presidents and Democrats in fact under this democratic president.

-- you know women have been absolutely.

They've been shall locked.

They've lost jobs virus at remarkable march and -- -- on a war on on women.

The true war on women who was attacked we have lots lost -- it's the fact that home foreclosures.

-- -- -- education school system.

-- spelling -- in the inner city.

That's the true war on women not the fact that Planned Parenthood all Mitt Romney might give bit of that.

The bottom lines as who's gonna -- policies.

Or -- help create a more prosperous America women Obama hasn't done.

We don't take umbrage with that because if you cannot afford to go to the doctor Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood -- for -- but that's not the only issue.

The fact we have to Medicaid saying we had no but that's not happen next is that it is not enough -- and you and I want you look no you know I expect this we know this because you and.

-- -- don't want my government dollars going for abortion I don't want my government dollars going by the morning after -- -- -- big deals with birth control to help -- health.

Of women dealing wit their monthly cycle then that's something else but -- it deals with an abortion.

Money going to that.

It's more than abortion pill and let me tell you something abortion is not that's not only occur in the -- We abort people we have four children every day after they're born when we abort their choice there options to a good public school system -- -- so when we push forward ST yeah when we do not know it is not yet know it is not -- on full disclosure I'm part of a union to I've I support unions but.

I think that we do need to -- reforms that's off the table.

What I want to look at are these home foreclosures more and more women are heading up their households and they're being thrown out to the streets even more.

Luring women too and I'm delighted that figure -- there -- children -- Yeah.

Or women are being left with their children to rates and single family.

More and more children born out of wedlock yeah.

We have your -- about abortions.

Broadly and metaphorically.

We are right now in signing as collateral damage millions of America.

Because.

In part -- rising dependency that seems to sustain and perpetuate itself.

In part because of policies that are absolutely.

Insensitive.

And and seemingly unaware.

-- Of the consequences undertaken and by that I'm talking about education and I'm talking about trouble here I'm talking about the idea that.

You mentioned Medicaid.

But why in the world as a Planned Parenthood or any number of these non profits why are they necessary when we are spending trillions of dollars at the state.

Federal local wobble and -- and that and when we talk about these as women's issues my god should Hannity talking about them is our issues.

Look at what they are our issues and women are -- You don't look we are spending trillions of dollars on -- -- we do not want when we talk about appropriations.

We've got to talk about that somehow or -- that never makes it to the table there's study from Brown University that just came out -- shows that Afghanistan Iraq cost us more than four trillion dollar.

It will widely Ali Mohamed one of the little always we be O'Donnell -- let's talk about black women when you have seven baptists black women in debt are working twenty Johnson -- their kids to -- Had a Catholic schools.

Act education system can't spell and you know what we don't -- a -- -- -- -- little -- education we want to -- that's a -- education system and Italy record sent to thank you very.
