The League of Women Voters was born of a legitimate desire to make the political process more inclusive to women. That role has been fulfilled to a great degree as women vote and hold positions in school boards and city councils, state legislatures and executive offices, and Congress. No president or vice president yet, and no president certainly at least until 2016, but that is hardly a reflection on the broader inclusion of women.

Now the LWV is a bunch of partisan hacks, using the organization’s virtuous tradition as a front for pushing a leftist agenda. Supporting gun controls, the Affordable Care Act, and the Clean Air Act have nothing to do with including women in the political process and informing them about issues and candidates, nor does abolishing the death penalty or opposing school vouchers, welfare reform, or the Keystone Pipeline. The LWV strongly supports abortion rights even though the victims of abortion are likely about 50% female. So much for their right to vote.
