Interesting news. I hadn’t heard about the endorsement…but then I hadn’t heard about the daboccle (spell check?) of AIG and their rating either, until the VP of the dang company called me to talk about it.

Get your head out of the sand Grandy!!

Exactly what I have wanted to say. Nicely done. The S.O is equally horrified at their stance on women’s issues. In fact I believe the phrase he used was: “scares the crap out of me!” .

Amen Catherine!!!! I couldn’t agree with you more. And how can any women support a ticket that doesn’t believe that women deserve to be equals and given the same respect as men. As for abortion rights…I can’t believe that it is 2008 and we are still required to fight for the simple right of making choices about our bodies and health. I can think of so many issues that need to be addressed by politians and yet the McCain group continues to focus on putting womens rights back 50 years!

I pray every day that this country will think before they vote. And realize that we are not meant to go backwards…but instead embrace diversity, equality, individual rights and focus our attention on ending this war, repairing our economy, improving educational funding (and supporting sex education) and so much more!

I hadn’t heard about the endorsement yet, but that’s because the kids are doing their homework and the radio is off…

I’m a strange creature…I’m anti-abortion, but pro-sex ed. The logic being that with good sex ed, there will be fewer abortions. And I guess my anti-abortion stance is more of a “gosh, I wish that women didn’t end up in such a horrible situation where that actually is their best option”. Does that make sense?

And strangely enough, I just finished reading “The Abstinence Teacher” by Tom Perotta. Good book.

And I’m with Pamela. Some of these “Christians” just leave me shaking my head. And then I have to remember not to judge them, either…

When I was younger, you know, like in high school where they were teaching abstinence…maybe…I, umm, sort of missed health class… they were also teaching how awful abortion was, and painting people who got an abortion as horrific and heartless.

I’m all grown up now, and the multifaceted thing that is pro-choice has shown itself to me. I’ve said before I can’t imagine being in a situation where my best option was to have an abortion. I just can’t picture it. But lots of people can, and do. And just because I wouldn’t have one doesn’t give me the right to tell someone else she’s wrong.

I’m so often puzzled by the Christian right. I’m a Christian, and they simply flabbergast me. (Is flabbergast a verb?) I do my best to “follow Jesus”, and love my neighbors, and behave how I believe is the right way. But all the judging and calling out and rude comments and hateful behavior that is the pattern of so many people in the Christian right…it’s not right. Jesus didn’t ostracize, he welcomed. And it didn’t matter who, he welcomed everyone.

So good for NOW. Way to stand up for the candidate that treats women with dignity. Because there’s precious little of that going on in politics these days.

And now my mini-post is ended.

Of course I was going to vote for Obama… but I still had this thought that if McCain wins, he would be better than Bush. I thought if you have to have a republican in office, you would want Mccain. He used to be pro-choice I think, not sure.

But seeing the stance now, I’m definately in fear of what he and Palin will do. It’s not an easy choice, personally speaking. But the choice should be there….and it takes additional laws/legislation to make sure that people have every choice at their disposal.
