Reasons why I support Obama

[x_bluerose_x]

- Palin backs gay marriage ban in the Constitution. Um...no. And she's batshit. Here's a great article describing just how batshit- Both Palin and McCain want to strike down Roe vs Wade. I am anti-abortion but pro-choice. I am VERY in support of the mother's health. I've seen videos of McCain MOCKING women's health. Yes, mocking. We want this

same here, I sent $30. I have never done that before. I hope obama doesnt suddenly turn out to be a hitler or anything. I would rather risk voting him in than Palin tho, man she is a nut. McCain was a fool to pick her.

[x_bluerose_x]

Agreed.

"I am anti-abortion but pro-choice."

Wow. I had no idea there were other women who shared my opinion. I also read something very interesting the other night. Apparently the early feminists like Susan B. Anthony were also anti-abortion but pro-choice, because they recognized that legislating abortion would take a woman's control of her body out of her hands. But they still felt that abortion is something to be avoided except in the most extreme cases.

I prefer to say that I'm pro birth-control.

[x_bluerose_x]

I am also pro-birth control. :)

I tend to say that I am "pro-wise-choice".

[x_bluerose_x]

YES. I like that!!

I have nothing to add here, because you've hit the nail on the head. All I have left to say is: I concur. :)

[x_bluerose_x]

Cool :) I always get nervous making these kinds of posters. I typically keep them under a filter because people get oversaturated with the political crap.

Thing is...this isn't just crap. It's not "he said, she said." These are about real issues that will affect you, your S.O., your family, your friends.... You can't just ignore them.

Obama is leading in the polls, but I'm scared to death the GOP will still try to steal the election. As is, I think if they lose they will plan to have Palin as the next GOP president nomination.

[lunadeath02]

Yeah, we just need to remember not to sit back and relax and make sure we vote. :) I have a good feeling about this election.
