Cher, Kathy Griffin Slam Mitt Romney as 'Anti-Women' in PSA (Video)
The women express concern over Senate candidates Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin, and say GOP vp nominee Paul Ryan looks like "Dracula."
Cher and Kathy Griffin are following the lead of Sarah Silverman and have released a new PSA critical of Republican candidates.
The video, "Don't Let Mitt Turn Back Time on Women's Rights," features footage of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney stumping for Richard Mourdock, the U.S. Senate candidate who came under fire for saying pregnancies resulting from rape were part of God’s plan.

“Romney and his buddies are trying to turn back time on women’s rights,” Griffin says.
The video focuses on defeating Mourdock and embattled Senate candidate Todd Akin, who said in August that women’s bodies could prevent pregnancy in instances of “legitimate rape.”
“There’s a lot at stake for women and people who like and respect women,” Cher says. She calls GOP candidates' abortion policy "sick stuff," and also refers to Republican vp nominee Paul Ryan as “the guy who looks like Dracula."
