The worst part about last night is that it didn’t end last night. “Reproductive rights” as freedom/basic health care/a matter of celebration is such a priority to this president and his party that the festival continues tonight with Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, Sandra Fluke, a rock star with this particular base, and the women of the Senate.

Some analysts dismissed Ann Romney’s speech as a throwback, speaking to an audience that doesn’t really exist anymore. I saw something different, and in the midst of the mandated mainstreaming of radical feminism that marks this week’s convention and the current White House administration, I reflect a bit more on it here.
