'''"War on Women"''' is a campaign narrative crafted and promoted by the [[Democratic Party]] for the 2012 and 2014 election cycles.  Logical responses might be to complain about the [[Democrat]]s' "War on Marriage," "War on Family," "War on Working People," "War on Jobs," "War on Religion," etc.  But "[[Scott Brown|Brown]]'s continued strength in [[Massachusetts]] should alarm [[Democrat]]s banking on demonizing those [[conservative|on the right]] as complicit in a 'war on women.'  Even many voters in the bluest-of-blue state of Massachusetts aren’t buying this line."<ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/74840.html#ixzz1rBFKF5j4</ref>

Next came contraception discussions on [[Capitol Hill]]. House Democrats were livid over the GOP scheduling only men on a panel describing the issue of contraception.<ref>[http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-ft-myers/the-war-on-women-and-contraception The war on women and contraception, The Examiner, February 18, 2012]</ref> Many sympathetic liberals in the [[Lamestream media]] picked up the story. They did not include the fact that this was a morning hearing and that the afternoon hearing scheduled women for the panel. The Democrat narrative was framed, hearings by an uncaring GOP.
