Howell Congressman Chris Smith Undermines the Women he Claims to Protect

If Congressman Smith wants to protect women, why did he Vote AGAINST the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN'S ACT?  Why has he written legislation to change the language of Rape to Forcible Rape (HR3) ?  Why did he vote against equal pay for women?  Why did he vote for the Ryan Budget that severely cuts funds to the STOP Violence Against Women's Program and Head Start that feeds children?  Why is he trying to block private insurance companies from covering women's health care such as birth control?  Why has he voted to close clinics that provide breast and cervical cancer screenings to women? http://www.app.com/article/20140423/NJNEWS10/304230091/Human-trafficking-victims-every-county-New-Jersey Chris Smith is anti woman.  Vote in November and vote for women.
