'''"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>

When the War on Women catchphrase began going into the [[United States presidential election, 2012|2012 presidential election]], [[Barack Obama]] was polling in the high 40s. A few weeks later, the War on Women angle appeared to be backfiring as Obama's polling numbers drifted into the low 40s.<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/03/13/Obamas%20War%20On%20Women%20Backfires OBAMA'S "WAR ON WOMEN" BACKFIRES, Breitbart.com, March 12, 2012]</ref><ref>[http://www.catholicleague.org/war-on-women-is-already-over/ “WAR ON WOMEN” IS ALREADY OVER, Catholic League, March 13, 2012]</ref> Still, the Lamestream media is trying to keep the Liberal demagoguery alive in the news cycle.<ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2012/03/13/not-even-trying-hide-it-msnbc-graphic-derides-gop-war-women Not Even Trying to Hide it: MSNBC Graphic Derides GOP 'War on Women', Newsbusters.org, March 13, 2012]</ref><ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2012/03/21/nbc-keeps-drumbeat-gop-war-against-womens-health NBC Keeps Up Drumbeat of GOP 'War Against Women's Health' Newsbusters.org, March 21, 2012]</ref>

The Democrats used the "War on Women" catchphrase again going into the [[2014 Midterm Elections]]. The narrative failed massively for the party, as it suffered a major defeat to the GOP in the general election.<ref>McTague, John; Deckman, Melissa (November 26, 2014).
