Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (none / 0)

I think you're right in many cases, and in no way am I advocating a vote for McCain.  But there is a deep and growing anger out here, and the likely result is women will stay home, in sufficient numbers, given we're the majority -- repeat: majority -- to cost democrats the election.  Denying it will not help.


On to the Convention Floor!

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (2.00 / 1)

But don't you see that a decision to stay home is the same as a vote for McCain, and hence a vote to destroy Roe vs. Wade?  Can any of us, as feminists, and mothers, take that chance?  My daughter's right to choose is too important to me.  I would, and will, vote for any democrat running against McCain, no matter who they are.

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (none / 0)

has anyone done a tally of prolifers that have gone Obama's way?  I do not think endorsements from Pat Casey does Obama any favors with women. I agree with the poster above-women (and a bunch of major supporters) might get pretty picky if Hillary get bullied out of the race.
See the latter written to Pelosi from Saban, Bob Johnson, Patricofs, et al. to shut up and let the process continue through PR. If I am in agreement with the major supporters of the Democratic party, then it is safe to say that frustration with this push out is widespread.

If you are in California, your daughter will be able to have an abortion legally. If R vs W is overturned I bet the decision on abortions will go back to the states. If your daughter were in Alabama, Mississippi or some similar state, she'd be taking a trip by plane. That being said, I am willing to bet that is not going to factor into the thoughts of some of these pissed off, mad female voters. I think that's how mad some of them are over the treatment of Clinton by the Big Boyz Blogs and others.
