I didn't realize you ladies were so cool with old white guys controlling your bodies. I learn something new every day from politics!

3. This seems like it should be satire ...

You know ... in a movie. Not real life.

5. She wasn't able to have children, so screw everyone else.

From wikipedia:

In 1985, she married AT&T executive Frank J. Fiorina (he opted for early retirement in 1998). It was the second marriage for both. She helped to raise her two stepdaughters Traci and Lori Ann. They attempted to have children together but, as Fiorina puts it: "That wasn't God's plan."

6. Uber-rich women like Carly may not.

She can just fly anywhere in the world and have an abortion - no problem.
The rest of us aren't so lucky. We can't use vast economic resources to avoid the
unfair, sexist and religion-sponsored laws of our land.

8. Fiorina - "I'm still here and I'm a pro-life woman."

"Don't forget me when Palin withdraws, okay"

11. IOW: "Protecting your vast wealth from those money-grubbing...

poor folk is the most important issue for women, like me. Hell, women like me can afford to simply fly wherever we want when we need an abortion."

Carly Fiorina is just as out-of-touch as McCain.

Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 08:58 AM by beac

I always ask a man. After all, I'm just a woman. How would I possibly know what to do? (see Todd Palin sitting in on official meetings in the governor's office)

No wonder she couldn't run HP. She's too stupid to live.

14. Heck, if some woman's dad rapes her and she has to have the kid, it's no biggie...

Shucks, if a teenager gets raped by her brother, why the heck not make the girl have the kid. And if her health is in question, of course the baby is more important.

Yeah, chicks don't mind that shit at all. After all, the Beauty Queen says chicks shouldn't have a choice. She hunts, yunno...

15. So, is Fiorina delusional, or does she just think the rest of us are?

Gotta be one or the other.

16. I hate to say this

but to some extent she is demonstrably correct. Nearly one third of pro choice voters have consistently voted for the GOP with the proportion close to unchanged even as the consequences showed themselves to be more likely over time.

17. She said that shit? Where can I find her?!

What the fuck is that about?! Who does she think she is?! Roe vs. Wade defined the rights of women that even the vote couldn't bloody do. Jesus Christ, these women.

This is similar to how there was a male dominant regime in Iraq, because the women officials overturned all the laws that gave women rights in politics.

Fuck this shit...I'm not going back to the 1920s. Black women had even less fuckin' rights than White women and this woman is like women don't care if it's over turned.

I'm so pissed off, I can't even spit. Good God, I want to cry from disgust. I hate these people.

20. she's right, we don't vote single issue but it's a big factor

do we really want a government that is totally anti-women/anti-children poisoning the environment, enriching greedy speculators (whoops, I forgot to say loyal donors), deregulating the country to allow widespread bank failure, the collapse of jobs, the intensifying of natural disasters (ie wildfires) due to rampant oil pollution. Leaders who have wrecked the economy want to do away with abortion as a choice. If every woman in this country today had 5 children, we would have thousands dying from malnutrition. We are rapidly slipping into a third world economy.

22. Women of my mother's generation certainly do care

It's not an infrequent topic of conversation when three or more of them get together over a glass of wine.

23. Which is another way of saying women don't care if:

1. Abortion is criminalized. Women and/or their doctors will go to prison for not wanting to carry a pregnancy to term.

2. Abortion will become a brutal form of kitchen table surgery. Unless the women are rich enough to fly to say, Mexico . . . Women will be mutilated, exposed to sepsis and other infections by unsterilized make-shift "surgical instruments".

3. 11 year old girls are forced to bear children of their rapists or family members who abuse them.
