I have not confirmed this but it's worth a conversation I think, because I'd believe they would try something like this.

For people who want the article in it's entirety:

Mike Pence — the guy who, when he was governor of Indiana, signed a bill requiring women who get abortions to bury or cremate their fetal remains — will receive a “Working for Women” award next Wednesday. The Independent Women’s Forum, a conservative nonprofit where Kellyanne Conway is a board member, will present him with the award at an event celebrating women’s history month.

“The award recognizes an individual who values free markets, works to create a more dynamic and innovative work world, and celebrates the valuable contributions women make to society,” the IWF said in a press release. Which just screams Mike Pence, right? Right.

Uh...

Lol, I guess.

Yeah, this is just conservative people creating groups with progressive sounding names and conservative principles giving awards to themselves. Expect this group (Independent Women’s Forum) to die a horribly embarrassing and ironic death within the next decade.

And people laughed at Obama for getting a Nobel.

But you're not allowed to have reproductive rights and if you're a gay woman you are considered subhuman. Other than, Pence is great for women!

Get fucked Pence.

What has Pence done for even conservative women besides being Vice President

 

[SilentRacoon]

Quick someone please hand over this brave fellows a prize for fighting equality and inclusion among racial minorities.

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

I read this as Mike Pence is receiving the "The working woman" award and got even more confused.

 

[Kremzeek]

PR bullshit and deplorably insulting.

Everyone involved should be ashamed, but they won't be.

 

[RinsFury]

What a fucking joke. Disgusting.

I mean, is it though really? 50% white women voted for Trump. Those that vote conservative probably do believe this is deserved.

It's been around for 25 ears and is the leading DC advocacy group for right-wing women, of which there are sadly many. I don't think it's going anywhere.
