The next attack on Paul Ryan: He's anti-woman

Paul Ryan co-sponsored a federal “personhood” amendment. He voted to defund Planned Parenthood. He opposes all abortions, except when the life of the mother is at risk. And he supports a federal bill requiring women to get an ultrasound before an abortion.

If this sounds like an ominous ad from the Obama for president campaign, something like it could soon be coming to a TV near you. These are among the positions the Wisconsin congressman has taken in his career that Democrats are bound to highlight in the weeks ahead in ads, press conferences and rallies as they try to widen President Barack Obama’s lead among women over Mitt Romney in polls…

“Though it was clear before, think it’s clearer now,” said EMILY’s List spokeswoman Jess McIntosh. “Honestly, I think the Ryan budget — the idea of cavalierly ending Medicare as we know it and paying for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires — couldn’t possibly make things any clearer for women who are going to make this decision. Honestly, Romney has been trying so hard not to take any positions that Ryan makes it hard for him to do that.”

At NARAL Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights advocacy group, Political Director Beth Shipp said the group has been building a battleground state model to identify “Obama defectors” across the country who may be looking at Romney as a moderate who can improve the economy.
