The "women's" vote used to be about issues... day care, health leave, health care, pay equity. Now, it's about punishing women and dismantling their hard earned civil rights, and the right to birth control. The right has defined birth control as being abortion. Palin doesn't believe that women or girls should have birth control. She believes every raped female who gets pregnant should have to carry the child to term. She believes that telling teenage girls about condoms is morally wrong, because it prevents them from getting pregnant, and not getting pregnant is wrong if you have sex at all. Sex is only for procreation. She believes that women who get pregnant responsibly are misinformed. She is against helping pregnant women in any way as well. She believes that even though women have a responsibility to get pregnant as much as they can, the children they give birth to are better off with their fathers, since their mothers must be busy passing laws preventing other women from not getting pregnant when they are practicing "abstinence." I get it now!

Sarah Palin : Who Is the Handler?

The Christianists Now Own The GOP

Sunday September 7, 2008, 3:58 pm
This is what I have been saying right from the beginning. She is a member of Feminists for Life which is to my opinion an extreme group.
They are against abortion and birth control from what I understand. This is just so wrong.
I hope America can see through this but polls recently have made me very worried.

I listened to a radio show the other day. A woman called in and said she was for Hillary. Now she is for Palin. The announcer asked the woman if Palin represented her values but the woman said NO, I just want a woman to be in the white house and that it was damn time for it!!!

That is the dumbest stance ever!!!

UUHHHGGGGGGG!!!!

I vote for choice and I am a mom and woman! No way would I vote her or McCaine into that office and anyone who is, is endagering America and the lives of women.

Funny how Sarah doesn't believe in abortion yet she kills WOLVES in the masses! That is wrongfully and selfishly killing to boot!

Monday September 8, 2008, 6:39 am
When her daughter was 14 she said that if her daughter were raped she (Sarah) would 'choose life.'

Monday September 8, 2008, 8:40 am
"Funny how Sarah doesn't believe in abortion yet she kills WOLVES in the masses! That is wrongfully and selfishly killing to boot!"

And abortion is not? Well, I find it odd that everyone here on Care2 is so concerned about the wolves, polar bears and whales but they don't care about human babies. I think that is a major contradiction. I also think it is a major contradiction that liberals tout woman's rights and independance and then turn around a criticize someone who embodies those values. You're so upset with the wolf killer but you act like a wolf by ripping babies limb for limb from the safety and security if their mother's womb for no other reason than inconvienience?

Monday September 8, 2008, 9:04 am
Lee B.: Saying that everyone here on Care2 does not care about human babies is a generalized statement. I do care about human babies, but I also care about cruelty to animals. My position is that women should not vote for a woman just because she is a woman. People should vote based on the issues, not based on race or gender. I also believe that the truth should come out regarding Sarah Palin's actions regarding aerial gunning. But it is being hidden. I believe that every teenager should be told about sex and the consequences, and as a parent, I told my teen, just as my mother explained it to me when I was a teen. I also believe that pregnant women should have access to help if they have the child. My contention is that if one has professed to be "for life, to respect life, than one should not be a hypocrite and turn around and kill other life (animals). I am also a Christian, but my beliefs do not match Sarah Palin's. She does not speak for all women, nor does she speak for all Christians.

Monday September 8, 2008, 10:54 am
Ok every one should not vote for Palin because she tried to ban books from a Library which is just nuts and because she is against sex education, birth control and condom usage which in today's world is plain ignorant.
People are going to have sex no matter how much some people want to legislate against it.

Wolves are a form of life just like babies are and have a right to live as well. I find interesting how people/Christians like "Palin" want to ban abortion but don't do every single thing possible to stop and make damn sure wars of ANY KIND never HAPPEN AGAIN!

Until people like "Palin" vehemently become ANTI-WAR which brutally murders, thousands of children, babies and people every day around the world, and does everything possible to end war and leads a revolution to end war around the world for good, I don't want to hear it. Don't sit there in judgement as if abortion is worst thing in the world. Children every day get limbs blown off because of land mines in the ground, bombs blowing up, shell fire etc etc. many Christian women participate in abortions every year. That is what is so hypocritical.

It annoys me that MEN think they can control a woman's body.

Maureen, you are right. Them my comment needs to be amended to apply to the majority here on Care2. I agree with you on aerial gunning. I fought her last year on that. If overpopulation is the problem maybe they can move some of them to less populated areas. Pro-life should include ALL life. As far as what she told her daughter? I have now idea and neither does anyone else. So we can stop the assumptions.

Jodi, you can't compare accidental war casualities to purposed, intentional, acts of violence as a result of personal irresponsibility. If people are going to have sex take responsibility for YOUR own actions. And Blue, Sarah Palin is a woman. And there is a whole website dedicated to defaming her? Nice!

Monday September 8, 2008, 3:16 pm
You cannot currently send a star to Blue because you have done so within the last week, TY Blue

Monday September 8, 2008, 3:51 pm
Lee, Barack Obama is a man and tghere are several REPUBLICON websites dedicated ot defaming him. Nice!

Monday September 8, 2008, 4:00 pm
I was wondering about the little stars and butterflies that are sent. Is there a criteria for that? I wanted to send one, but my profile says I can't. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.


Also - Lee B. -- Thank you very much for amending your statement - that takes integrity on your part. I appreciate that very much.

Monday September 8, 2008, 4:33 pm
Lee, I disagree with your stance on civilian deaths in war. Civilians who die as collateral damage in a war are no less dead, and no less a victim, than civilians who die intentionally in a terrorist attack, or a murder. Some degree of guilt falls on the attacking side, even if harming civilians isn't the intention, it is the consequence, and cost of war. That is why leaders like George W Bush sicken me, they do not take the cost of war seriously. War is serious, and any one who launches one carelessly is especially responsible for the deaths and chaos that occur - not only from direct military strikes, but from internal lawlessness, rape, resources diverted from health care and social services, food & supply scarcities. I'm definitely voting for a candidate - Obama - who is well aware of the cost of war and sees military action as a last resort.

Monday September 8, 2008, 6:08 pm
TALKING ABOUT FREEDOM ??? SHE WONT DECIDE WHAT I DO WITH MY LIFE, THE B---H......THANKS BLUE

Monday September 8, 2008, 6:57 pm
LEE..If people are going to take responsibility for their actions then they need to have the proper educational information to make proper choices. Teens (And Adults for that matter) told to just not do it or to abstain is not realistic in least little bit. Sex education and widely available information is a must for young adults that are going to graduate and enter the work force or college world as adults. People like Palin who want to ban abortion and Birth control do not help to create an environment in our culture conducive to taking responsibility for their actions. They take away all the responsible choices then tell people to just deal with it is stupid.

AND YES I CAN compare so called casualties of war to purposed intentional acts of violence. Being a participant of war IS purposeful violence. I don't care how you like to play it off. AND no not all are so called accidents. Children have been murdered, and maimed and raped and exploited on purpose because war is nasty scourge of HUMANITY. There is not ever one good reason for war ever. People on both sides of the battle are responsible for killing but it is considered to be fine or causalities of war so lets all be passive and not try and end war. Every Christian/republican/conservative who says they are Pro-life in the same way Palin does but do not stand up against war with the same passion is hypocrite of worst kind.

Monday September 8, 2008, 11:03 pm
LOL! Who in the world would post a story from Roseanne Barr?! Oh, Blue....
That story is completely FALSE! Not to mention BULLCRAP.

"Explicit means explicit," she said. "No, I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception. But, yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't scare me, so it's something I would support also." -Sarah Palin

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-sexed6-2008sep06,0,3119305.story

And about the 'rape kits', the DailyKos says: "Sarah Palin was Mayor from 1996 to 2002. Whether this practice (charging for rape kits) started before she was mayor, it's unclear."

Really, you should get actual facts before posting a 'news' story. Especially from Roseanne Barr (and the far-left huffington post), for crying out loud.

And also, sexist implying that she shouldn't be in office and leave her kids w/ her husband. Instead she needs to stay home, and put condoms on a banana in front of her kids...'this is how it goes'. Great.

It's pathetic Roseanne wrote it, and pathetic that Blue posted it.

Ok Jodi, I agree with you. I will stand up with you aginst war. Will you stand up with me to protect the unborn?

Stephanie, you are completely right. This is a blog post that is being passed off as real news. It's a blog for crying out loud!!

And there are whole websites decicated to defaming Obama? Please post links so that I can take pleasure joining in on the smears, lies, half-truths and misrepresentations.

Tuesday September 9, 2008, 1:12 am
Abstinence An empty word given to children by their parents
without a glimmer of hope that their children are actually
listening.
. The religious right emboldened the Republicans to take
on this never ending conflict with what a woman can or cannot do
with her body. So saying no condoms or birth control pills and
relying on abstinence is just another fairy tale created by
wishful thinking people from the right.

Tuesday September 9, 2008, 5:22 am
Quite frankly, I've had my fill of this woman and consider it a waste of time even commenting. She's sheer sensationalism. Heaven help America. If she gets chosen then the country will truly deserve the leader it gets!!

Tuesday September 9, 2008, 10:52 am
This maybe a blog BUT blogging is what is the hottest thing on the internet right now and main stream media does pay quite a bit of attention to it. Blogs are used every single day to bash Obama. The content of this blog talks mostly about the exact things that Palin believes in.
The Huffington Post is one of my favorite with interesting comments on the articles from real people.

"The "women's" vote used to be about issues... day care, health leave, health care, pay equity. Now, it's about punishing women and dismantling their hard earned civil rights, and the right to birth control. The right has defined birth control as being abortion. Palin doesn't believe that women or girls should have birth control. She believes every raped female who gets pregnant should have to carry the child to term. She believes that telling teenage girls about condoms is morally wrong, because it prevents them from getting pregnant, and not getting pregnant is wrong if you have sex at all. Sex is only for procreation. She believes that women who get pregnant responsibly are misinformed. She is against helping pregnant women in any way as well. She believes that even though women have a responsibility to get pregnant as much as they can, the children they give birth to are better off with their fathers,"

Lee I am against partial birth abortion but what a woman does in the first trimester is her business.
I knew a girl in college who had gotten pregnant from a guy who was a total "terd". She decided on abortion because if she carried the baby to term she would of had to quit school which would have been the most irresponsible choice she could have made since her whole family was very poor but did what they could to get her to school.

She made a mistake and learned from it. It was NOT an easy choice for her at all and a choice that NO MAN would ever have to make! Today she is successful at her career and is married and has had a child whom she loves very dearly. If she had kept the first pregnancy she would not have any of the happy life she has now. NOR would that child because the father was a jerk and did not want to be there. They would have no quality of life which is important to.

Jodi, so what you're saying is that you would be glad to have my support in standing up for something you think is important, but you don't want to stand up with me for what I think is important. I am willing to give up my support of war and compromise with you but you are not willing to do the same. And people wonder why we have a problem in this country. There is no give and take. No real dialogue. Just accusations and finger pointing. We can't get anything done that way. Then people will turn around and complain about the economy, healthcare, unemployment, the federal deficit, the Iraq war, etc. It is jsut as much YOUR fault as it is Bush's or anyone else.

And Evan, you might not want to say that too loud around here. That is another lie they circulating, that Palin is not pulling Obama supporters.

Sunday September 14, 2008, 11:12 am
LEE....you are lying. You are not any more willing to give up supporting war, than I am willing to give up MY RIGHTS to reproductive health care choices. Don't hand me your back talk and double standards!! That is the only reason you asked me that question above any ways!!

No give and take??? EXCUSE ME for not being willing to GIVE up MY RIGHTS to reproductive health care options. Your damn right I am NOT supporting the removal of MY RIGHTS. There is plenty of dialog. People like you are not LISTENING. You are not asking for compromise. You are asking for me to support giving up my rights. People like Bush are the same way.

Now as for your support of my cause, it's NOT my cause it should be every one's cause who has any kind of moral back bone at all!!! It has nothing to do with supporting MY cause. It's NOT MY cause.

War is one of the most morally repugnant and evil forms of murder, rape, pillage, destruction of not only entire civilizations, towns and people adults, elderly and children with not only high costs of lives but money as well. And it is always launched under lies of govt. using it's people in order to enforce it.

No matter what one's stance on abortion is and it is a far more smaller issue than war is, every one should be for peace and against war. If not, then you are morally repugnant as well.

I never voted for Bush. I hated him before he ever stepped foot into office. I have done what is expected of a "good citizen" made calls to my govt. reps and written all the appropriate people and offices. I didn't just complain.

Unemployment, federal deficit, war in Iraq, health care are NOT my fault. They are they fault of the people like BUSH who are in charge. People like him who also DO NOT LISTEN and are only working for their agendas to be accomplished so people like him can make as much money as possible off of human devastation.

You support that? Then that is just repugnant and unacceptable. And I have every right to believe that way.

Sunday September 14, 2008, 1:20 pm
Oh and another thing, I offered my compromise being against partial birth but you snubbed your nose at it. So who is the one who has no give or take, to offer, no dialog and all the finger pointing, and complaining!!!! Looks like YOU!!!!
