South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) on the View today - "Women don't care about contraception!" [View all]

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/04/03/457547/nikki-haley-women-dont-care-about-contraception/


Defending her party after some of its members spent months going after contraception, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) said today that birth control isn’t very important to women. “Women don’t care about contraception,” she said on The View.

When host Joy Behar pushed back, Haley acknowledged that women do care about contraception, but she argued they care about it less than other issues.

HALEY: Women don’t care about contraception, they care about jobs and the economy and raising their families and all those other things–
-------------------------------------------

Why do I have this feeling that Nikki Haley doesnt speak for the vast majority of women in the US or world for that matter. The GOP wants credit for being pro-diversity by running women who help attack women's rights, African Americans who help attack African American equality, and LGBT folks who are so afraid of their party they feel they have to hide the fact that they are LGBT. That is not pro-diversity.
