Hell yes it is! I couldn't agree more. I choose to have an abortion once, many years ago. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one, for many reasons which I will not go into here. I can't even imagine what would have happened had I not been allowed to make that choice. Many people would have suffered, including the child, who would have likely been born with severe health problems.
I have never gotten pregnant because I'm not ready to become a mom, but my sister has had an abortion and its one of the most difficult decisions she had to make. Luckily, she became a mom a few years later. She has three amazing sons now. I have been a long supporter of the Republican party and I am very disturbed by the decisions they want to make in regards to what a woman can do with her body and how much she can earn for equal work.
I agree with you, my sister had an abortion and it was one of the most difficult decisions she had to make. I have been a life long supporter of the Republican party and I have voted for Democrats before. The thing that puzzles me the most is what does the Republican party have against women.
Excellent point, I do not know what Akins was thinking and there is no excuse for rape. Rape is rape there is nothing legitimate about it. However, he still could possibly be elected in Missouri.
Its not the party itself but the control of the religious extreamist that have tainted it for me. When the "Tea party" fudamentalist decided to unite with their antiquated views of womans roles that I started to object.
I also had to have several abortions in my life. I do have 8 natural children and 2 adopted children. My abortions were very necesary for me at the time. I still stand by those very tough decisions that I had to make and I don't feel that anyone but me has the right to decide what I do.
And black against white. And heterosexual against LGBT. And religious against secular.
Indeed. The Republicans are the political representatives of the ruling class and the ruling class are a tiny minority exploiting and living off the labour of the majority. An exploiting minority obviously needs to divide the exploited majority to maintain class rule.
Chabella, that is me. I will never choose one side. I listen to both sides and do my own due diligence to vote based on the facts.
You're absolutely right. The republican ticket this election is nothing but backward motion, as if they're trying to undo all the work that the suffragists and the feminists have done.
Voter apathy wouldn't solve the problems. On the other hand, choosing the right people to correct the situation might just prove very rewarding. Whatever has motivated you to vote all these years shouldn't be let to die. It is called HOPE my dear!
Wonderfully put political sentiments. I hope this falls under women's social health or something close to that. Even though I feel that this thread isn't related to women's health, I'll still go ahead to say that it was very informative to the voters. Thanks for this!
