He's been pretty good on that front.
That law he passed affected very few momen and means nothing to 99% of them until they need the law. The other stuff sounds good but will not drive the women to run out and vote for him. They will see little to no change he promised and go back to voting how they did prior to Obama.

As far as voter turn out. Even with all the effort Obama put into voter turn out for the last election it did not work and will not work next time. If anything his poor record will drive the other side to turn out and vote. When Obama was elected people knew nothing about him and did not care about his past. Now he cannot hide and his record will hurt him.
