Last week, the Republican National Convention featured many notable and accomplished women: A former Secretary of State, three sitting governors, a Senator, and three Congresswomen. Afterwards, the head of the Democratic National Committee dismissed them all as “shiny packages”.

Sarah Hinds, a freshman at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, offers a response that speaks for many independent/conservative American women who will be voting this November.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee and the liberal poster-child, stated last week that the female speakers at the Republican National Convention were in “shiny packaging” intended to “distract voters.” In her own words:

“I think we believe that women can see through that nice shiny packaging that the Republicans have been putting out there, through to what’s inside, which is really a disaster for women’s future, extreme policies.”

Not surprisingly, I vehemently disagree with the DNC chair, and I believe she and other liberals who continue to buy into this farcical “War on Women” need to seriously examine the legitamacy of their “pro-woman” argument.

As an aside, I would first argue that the conservative belief of women paying for their own contraception —rather than expecting insurance providers and the federal governent to do so— is far from an extreme policy and a “disaster” for women’s future. I would consider condoning the practice of sex-selective abortions (Representative Wasserman-Schultz voted against a ban on sex-selective abortions this past May) extreme and a disaster for unborn baby girl’s futures.

Schultz thinks female speakers at the RNC were just “shiny packaging.” I believe the conservative women who spoke in Tampa represent everything an American woman should strive to be— leaders empowered by education, faith, and integrity.

Mia Love, Governor Susana Martinez, Ann Romney, Governor Nikki Haley, Condoleeza Rice, specifically, also embody the idea that level of success isn’t determined by what neighborhood you’re born into, your race, your net worth, it’s determined by hard work and self-determination— though the outcome for everyone may not be the same, the opportunity for success is available to all…..

Hinds then makes several points about the left’s “War on Women”

Liberals claim to be totally pro-woman—defenders of the rights of women, and on the frontlines against the “conservative war on women.” Yet, for being so “pro-woman,” the attacks on these conservative women who spoke at the RNC are, in a word, deplorable.

Liberals cry for conservatives to stop the “hate” and to be more “tolerant” and less “bigoted” and yet we have individuals like actor Jason Biggs tweeting absolutely vulgar remarks (of which I will only post a link to an article to here—warning, they’re extremely graphic) about Ann Romney and Janna Ryan. Those on the left who apparently have way too much free time on their hands edited Mia Love’s Wikipedia page to apply racial slurs and other offensive labels, including calling her a “dirty worthless whore.” Twitter was buzzing with more vicious tweets directed at Ann Romney, many wishing death upon her, or wishing she would “kill herself.”
