Why Hillary's feminists are suffering from Fiorina-envy

Even if she had said nothing else at the CNN debate, Fiorina would have stood out for her gut-punch of a statement about the horror of the guerrilla Planned Parenthood videos capturing the ghoulish organ-harvesting that is an important side business of the organization (the main business, of course, is aborting babies).

The novelist Jennifer Weiner told The New York Times for a story about the conflicted feelings of feminists, “It’s so weird — she looks like one of us, but she’s not.” Another feminist writer said, “There’s an excitement and a horror.” The managing editor of the feminist Web site Jezebel tweeted the night of the debate, “I’m in love with and terrified of her.”
