The Latest Anti-Woman Insult from Mitch McConnell

Today the DSCC issued a press release regarding Mitch McConnell's disregard for women's issues:

Mitch McConnell’s shameful hypocrisy towards Kentucky women has reached a new level of ugliness. Yesterday, McConnell announced that he will launch “Women for Team Mitch” while simultaneously touting the coming endorsement of Mike Huckabee, a strong supporter of Todd Akin and longtime champion of extremist, anti-woman policies.

Mike Huckabee was one of Todd Akin’s strongest supporters in 2012, even after Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments, using his radio show to bolster Akin and encourage him to stay in the race. And why wouldn’t he? Throughout his career, Huckabee has advocated for extreme policies that would set women back decades, including the claim that “most” single moms “would rather be married and have a nice ‘Leave It To Beaver’ home,” endorsing a Baptist church statement saying that women should "graciously submit" to their husbands, and as governor directing the Medicaid office to deny payment for an abortion for a 15-year-old teenager who had been raped by her stepfather.
