It might seem strange that a women’s rights group would vocally oppose two female candidates, but the Feminist Majority Foundation said it looks at candidate’s policy rather than just advocating for a woman in politics.
“We are supporting candidates who have pro-woman policy,” said Myra Duran, a national campus organizer for the Feminist Majority. “It doesn’t have to be a woman.”
One of the group's top concerns about Fiorina’s policy is that she “has indicated that if given the chance she would overturn Roe v. Wade, and we don’t want someone in power in the Senate who has that kind of mindset,” Duran said.
