“Where are the Women?”

During a hearing titled “Lines Crossed: Separation of Church and State. Has the Obama Administration Trampled on Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Conscience?” on  Capitol Hill Thursday, Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York had one simple question about the panel of witnesses. She said, “where are all the women? When I look at this panel, I don’t see one single woman representing the tens of millions of women across the country who want and need insurance coverage for basic, preventative health care services, including family planning,” Maloney continued. Then she repeated: “Where are the women?” Why aren’t more women heard in the government?
