And here is the problem in shifting radically to the right, as the GOP has done: Romney is a ‘moderate’ on women’s issues according to the GOP. He supports the ‘right’ of states to ban abortion, he equivocates about the simple issue of equal pay, his endorsement of the Ryan Budget would severely hurt women. This may make him ‘moderate’ to the GOP, but it puts him far, far, far outside the mainstream in the US, especially among women.
