With polls showing that Republican Mitt Romney has significantly eroded President Obama's once-robust lead among women, both parties have turned their attention in the final days of the 2012 campaign to a key slice of the women's vote that could be crucial to victory - millions of potential "Obama defectors."
Women who voted for the Democrat in 2008, and are considering jumping ship this year, are a target of impassioned campaigning as Republicans and Democrats aim for the margins in battleground states.
Nancy Keenan, who heads NARAL Pro-Choice America, the nation's largest reproductive-rights advocacy group, said Monday that her organization has developed a sophisticated model of the "Obama defector" female voter, who in the final days of the race will be micro-targeted in key counties in Colorado, Virginia and six other swing states, she said.
The organization has identified 5 million female "Obama defector" voters nationwide, Keenan said, including 3 million in battleground states and 400,000 in battleground counties, she said.
Keenan said she is heading to Ohio, a must-win state in the election, and may be there for the duration of the campaign.
"We have gone into battleground states and counties that are going to make the difference - by literally 1 percent, or a half-percentage point," she said. "This election will be won by women."
For pro-choice advocates like Sandra Fluke - who spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of 700 at the NARAL Pro-Choice America's "Power of Choice" fundraiser in Palo Alto Monday - the battle comes down to reaching women voters with a message about Republicans.

So now if you decline to reinstate The One you’re a “defector”?
I think working women are now saying....Pay for your own contraception, pay for your own abortion, pay for your own food, shelter, clothing.........GET A JOB !!!!!
Looks like O has spent a little too much time talking about womens reproductive organs, rather than their brains Whoever the Democrat strategist who dreamt up the lets talk about their parts strategy, rather than a ‘job strategy’ for women blew it big time.
Go to a Right to Life event sometime.
Perfect Commie Rat imagery: defector
All of the “defectors” I have ever heard of from were from Communist countries.
So it is only appropriate that women would be “defecting” from Obama’s Commie Rat camp.
Obama and the Dems thought that their lead among women was concrete, so they started all this “Vote with your lady parts” crap that REALLY alienated many, HEAD strong women!
I hope they keep it up!
The left has always viewed women as mindless, rutting, sluts whose sole goal in life is to get laid every day. I wondered how many decades it would take before the ladies (and I use that term loosely) would figure that out and finally be insulted. This contraception, “lady parts”, angle could have backfired on them. About time.
Why don’t Fluke, etc., focus on comparing Obama and Romney when it comes to the salaries and treatment of the women who work for them?
Bump!
You’d think that women who claim to be for “women’s rights” would campaign against a man and his self-proclaimed “muslim faith”.
Hopefully some of these vile women won’t vote:
Sad that hateful democrats dont even know that Democrat voter fraud is what steals elections.
I truly thought this was a parody of mean Democraps, but I think the maker of this vid is serious.
Doesn’t Chubby Michael Moore know this type of evil will backfire on him?

Catholics. Always Catholics.
I’ve been waiting for the women, old people and homosexuals to come to their senses/s.
