Une convention démocrate très "féminine"...


Une nombre considérable de femmes joueront un rôle important lors de la convention démocrate. L'équipe d'Obama tentera de maintenir, ou d'augmenter, l'avance du candidat démocrate auprès de l'électorat féminin.

"Democrats are touting their female-heavy convention lineup in the wake of Todd Akin’s controversial comments on rape, and the Republican Party’s decision to enshrine in its party platform its opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

Democrats announced a slate of women and pro-choice advocates who will speak at their convention in Charlotte Wednesday. The list includes Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law graduate whose support of President Obama’s contraception coverage policy prompted Rush Limbaugh to call her a “slut” and a “prostitute.”

 “This convention will define the election as a choice between two very different paths for our nation, particularly when it comes to the health and economic security of women and middle class families,” DNC spokeswoman Melanie Roussell told TPM. “The speakers announced today were chosen because they can personally define that choice.”
