Don't a lot of women experience similar feelings from giving birth?

I've heard of things like 'birth rape' and women reporting PTSD in general after giving birth. Seems like the practise of operating on one's genitals is inherently traumatic.

I've never even heard of "birth rape" That sounds ludicrous. What you are referring to is postpartum depression. Not PTSD or "birth rape".

Well, seems the Obama campaigns efforts to bring about a GOP war on women has not worked out as well as hoped.

Now it is onto the new. Seems the latest idea being rolled out by Obama and some media allies is the Mitt Romney is a "disaster for....".
