Why Women Need Obama

I came across a post titled "Why women need Obama" written for The Guardian, and I couldn't help but skim through the reasons summarized.  The main point of the article make sense from a partisan standpoint:  women tend to lean to the left when it comes to women's issues.  They always have and probably always will...  That much is clear from past polls and elections, as the article states.  However, it seems to me that Mitt Romney is taking a much harder hit from feminist groups today than Republican presidential candidates ever have in the past.  Disregarding the major differences in the two candidates' campaigns that have to do with "women's rights," what is it about Romney's personal beliefs and actions that serve as a target for those who support the feminist movement?  Do you agree with the author's argument that women need Obama to win the election to keep their rights?  And if he doesn't, do you think that that much will actually change?
