It is great that a woman is running for vice president, and that fact is very empowering to women. It is also great that she is able to have a family and has the drive to have a very successful career.




YET, her stance on women's and reproductive rights disgusts me and I think her postitions take women steps back rather than forward.

She seems capable, yet it worries me that some of her friends won't disclose if they'll vote for her or not...

       Palin disgusts you because she does not believe in abortion as a birth control device? She believes that  a child is human at conception and that the child has rights? Or is it that she believes abortion is fine when the mother is in danger of losing her life?


  I am not pro or con on abortion as I have never been faced with the decision of giving birth or not allowing the birth to continue.I do believe in the rights of women.


  I also believe in the rights of others not to be trumped by others  rights.


     I adore strong intelligent women. I am married to a strong bright witty woman.

Interesting discussion.


 


Abortion, by definition is a birth control device....thats what it is for...not having babies when you aren't prepared to take care of one of are physically endangered by the pregnancy.  I think we agree on the rights of women to make that choice for themselves.  I also respect Palin's religious views regarding life for herself and her own family.  I would agree that she does threaten choice for women.  Not all 17 year olds want babies.

 abortion derived from abort.to end or cause to end prematurely and unsuccessfully.an immature or incomplete idea. only recently did abortion come to be defined as  the expaulson of a fetus from the womb before  it is able to survive. ie birth control device.
