Any Woman Still Voting For McCain After His Remarks On Abortion And The Health Of The Expectant Mother Is A Selfish, Mindless, Woman-Hating Idiot!
No politician should EVER make light of an expectant mother's health during pregnancy. NEVER! Carrying a child to term and giving birth to a child is not a simple process and not without risk, particularly in difficult economic times when women are struggling financially, don't have adequate health care, and are giving birth alone as a single parent. Any politician making light of the risk to a woman's body, health, and life during a pregnancy is a walking and talking billboard for why women must fight to keep Roe versus Wade intact as law!
Watching John McCain downplay the seriousness of a woman considering her own body, her own health, her own life during a straight forward or difficult pregnancy, enraged me! Watching him make those air quotes with those twisted fingers and tiny little paws of his, royally pissed me off! ONLY A MAN WHO CAN NEVER BE PREGNANT, NEVER CARRY A CHILD, WOULD DARE MAKE SUCH A CALLOUS AND SELFISH STATEMENT! John McCain's comments and body language should have scared the living daylights out of each and every woman tuning in to the debate.
A woman's right to chose is not a game, it's serious business. I am a woman that would NOT want to have a child that was the product of a rape. I am a woman that would seriously consider LONG and HARD before knowingly giving birth to a severely disabled child. I am a woman that would seriously consider LONG and HARD before giving birth to a child, if there was a possibility that I would not survive the pregnancy.
I am a woman that does not want a child or a woman forced to give birth to a child that was the product of incest. I am a woman that does not want an uneducated, unemployed, and unprepared teenager giving birth to an unwanted child. I am a woman that does not want a child or a woman forced to give birth to a child that was the product of rape. And I really don't want myself or any other woman denied the right to make the choice about a pregnancy that might disable me physically or kill me! And I sure in the hell don't want that decision made by a man that will never face such a personally agonizing and life-threatening situation!
