McCain=anti choice

Yes, this is about abortion again. Sorry. Actually, it isn't so much about abortion...I'm not pro-abortion. In my perfect world they would be completely unnecessary , and I'm sure most pro-choice people feel the same way. This is completely about giving women options and the right to have a say over their own bodies. If we want to really end abortions, lets start with adequate sex education , followed by a healthy amount of self-esteem for girls. Lets make sure women understand that they have every right to say "no" , lets help our men understand that a woman is not just a toy for them to play with. Lets get our insurance companies to cover not only viagra but birth control. Lets give our kids the best education we possibly can so they can compete for and get good jobs , which will help end those abortions caused by financial strain.Lets make sure there is adequate affordable childcare. Lets tell our men that fathers *are* important , that they need to play an active role in both the pregnancy and the child rearing. Lets realize that for some women, whether for health reasons or the fact that do not want a child (no,women are not automatically predisposed to wanting babies), being pregnant just is not an option and sometimes birth control fails, and stop letting doctors decide if its ok that a woman wants to have their tubes tied. Do you think they deny men vasectomies because "they may hear that biological clock ticking someday?".

Ladies, we need to stop thinking of ourselves as second class citizens. We count. We aren't just here to enrich the lives of men. One of the most effective tools we have is our vote. When we vote, we are actively being participants in the decisions that affect us.Think about that for a moment. You wouldn't let someone else make you wear clothes you don't like or order your dinner at a restaurant without your input. You wouldn't want someone else to name your children or decide where you should work, would you? Yet, women don't make the connection between not voting = someone else making the decisions that impact your life the most. You may feel like your vote won't matter....if it matters to YOU, it matters enough. If it empowers you on any level, it matters. Whether you choose to marry and have kids, marry with no kids, not marry at all, divorce an abusive husband, work outside the home or work at making your house a home , your decisions should be the ones that work for you. And so should your vote.

I'm truly not trying to turn this into a political blog (really!!!!) but this is something I feel so passionate about. John McCain is not a friend of women. If that doesn't matter to you, vote for him (see, I want you to vote, even if I disagree with your choice) but I want to know who you are voting for.
