I noticed that too.
I am a conservative (with a lot of libertarian leanings) single (divorced) female that is head of household with four children that I have raised. But, I have also been (at one time in my life) a single female without children.
This is my take on it -- FWIW. I am pro-choice by policy, pro-life by personal choice/belief. I don't believe it is the role of government to inject itself in personal choices of this nature.
Sadly, I observed several women talk about this was a vote about women rights. That statement dumbfounded me. When I asked them about what right was Romney/Ryan going to take away... they'd go into abortion, birth-control and choices on what's best for my body/life. I asked, "really, what piece of legislation did they state they'd introduce or repeal to deny birth-control or abortion?" They could not name a piece of legislation but mentioned funding of planned parenthood. I countered so it's not a right that is in question but rather tax dollar funding.
FWIW........
