Advice to GOP: Quit repulsing women

On Friday night, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) responded to the question, "Why should a woman pay more [for health insurance] than a man?" with, "Well, we're all different. Why should a smoker pay more?" Sessions, notes Politico, "runs the National Republican Congressional Committee -- which is tasked with recruiting new female candidates."

And the GOP wonders why it has trouble reaching women. Seriously.

    • The headline should apply to the Dems as well as they passed a bill they did not even read that would not pay for a certain medical procedure that only women undergo.
