'CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Women's issues were front and center at the Democratic National Convention as President Obama and the many women headliners underscored over and over again the reasons why this election is critically important for women. The choice on November 6 for women could not be more stark and will determine if this country continues the progress we have made on women's rights, or if we retreat and lose the gains of more than forty years.

Women's health, pay equity, women's jobs, the fight for women's equality, and reproductive choice and rights were featured in Charlotte as Democrats made a strong and compelling case on these issues. The women delegates and activists responded with loud applause and sustained enthusiasm.'
