No Feminist Love for Palin: NOW Endorses Obama-Biden

There has been much debate lately on the issue of feminism, especially since the nomination of Sarah Palin to the Republican vice-presidential ticket. Just released yesterday was a statement from one of the National Organization of Women announcing their decision to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States. The NOW PAC reviewed Sen. Obama's record and public statements on issues that disproportionately affect the women of this nation and believe he is the best candidate regarding his policies and his commitment to women's equality. This is the true meaning of feminism. It is supporting a candidate who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of men and women.

Obama/Biden was the ONLY CHOICE! Reading the above post makes it partly obvious why.

Abortion is still legal after 8 years, and will continue to be legal. Republicans love to use it to divert attention from the MAJOR issues, and problems in this country. Sadly, enough some are still believing the lies, and proganda.

Spare us from those who would protect the lives of the unborn, only to condemn those already born to lives of misery, despair and poverty.

You want to save a baby and preserve life? Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is, and adopt an unwanted child.

Obama all the way!

I shudder at the thought of Bush #2 and his girlie. Her stance on abortion sickens me so much that, even if I heard nothing else, I could never vote for her.

But the woman thinks being able to see Russia from her back yard equals foreign policy experience.

Right.

Obama/Biden 08!

They aren't perfect, just the better choice.

NOW is as phony an organization as ever existed. Of course they are going to endorse Obama.
They are no more for women's rights than they are for the lives of the unborn.
Palin represents everything NOW is not:
- Palin is intelligent
- Palin has common sense
- Palin has a genuine concern for the people
- Palin has morals
- Palin is physically attractive
- Palin enjoys life
Your correct, "NOW" is not for all women, like they claim, it's only for those that agree with their agenda.

can't be positive, but from the looks of it, Jane and i are the only women, so far, that have posted here. as a woman, with 5 children, i just want to say, that i am a feminist! i believe in equality for women, in this male dominated country. NOW, stands for so much more than abortion rights, but that's how some always equate it. fine, let's do it. having an abortion, was never something i had to consider. i was lucky. but, a woman has, and should remain to have that choice. if you feel that abortion is wrong, fine. teach and preach it to your own daughters, and hope that they'll never need one, but do not try and take that choice away from me, or my daughters!

You know when people like Jane and this wonderful "Mother" comes on here and say such Evil and cruel things, statements, endorsing Murder, or dont take away Abortion from my daughter, they have to expect Fair, Minded, Family first people will post and post against them.Im sorry you think im brutal but isnt it REALLY brutal to suck a Baby into a sink, or stay with a Presidental pick even though this Obama clearly is not in Americas best intrests.Do you hear what these Liberal Hate America people are saying? Death, Abortion, Death, America, Death. Strange people.

My reply-
What's strange is- you think you and YOUR think they have the RIGHT, to tell a woman what they can do, to their own bodies.
In my opinion, you should be focusing on why the hell we're paying almost $5 a gallon for gas. Why folks are losing their homes to foreclosure. Why 401-k's are rapidly losing their values. REAL ISSUES! If you know what I mean. you are just like the leaders of your party. The Republicans are dead-in-the-water concerning the issues, so you guys latch on to things like "Lipstick on a pig", flag-pins any other non-sense. Besides your OWN candidate's wife(Cindy McCain), has HER RESERVATIONS about abortion. Is she NUTS ALSO???

BTW. MY "Brutal" comment was your concerning your less than "stellar" command of the English language and sentence structure...

First of all she has 5 daughters and says dont take "Abortion" away from my daughters... and I responded and she knows she made a stupid remark, NOW is nothing more then a group of women mostly Lesbian, and Career people who dont like or want Children and if they do, then its like a pet, they hire a Nanny to take care of the child, and spend 12 hr days and have a stranger spending more time with their child so this a moot point. I could care a less of your take on my grammer it comes across pretty clear, Allie got it didnt like it but got it. How do you know im a Republican? I wouldnt call McCain a devouted Republican anymore then I would call "Obama" a Democrat...they both suck eggs...Obama has a Tax and Spend Agenda and Big Govt involvement in mind. McCain has a meet in the middle approach and some less friendly ideas for the avg American, they both have seriuos issues for and against. I just see that Obama has a clouded pass and a lying future in store for America, if Obama gets in there will be no middle class, and there will be higher Taxs and Obama in the end will do nothing better. McCain at least tells us its going to get worst before it gets better.

My reply

First, why do you feel the NEED to attempt to legislate what this woman or her daughter does to their body? That really baffles me.
Can you show where Obama said he would Raise our Taxes? That's a familar Republican refrain. Democrats will raise your taxes... It's like an "Auto-response" and has NO ring of truth. just another buzz-word, like "islmatic-terrorist" , or tax and spend. I guess the money we have wasted on this farce of a War is Monopoly money??? Are you holding the Republicans responsible for this AT ALL??? can you wrap your brain around that concept?

Lmao! Mccain said the economy was "FUNDAMENTALLY FINE"! Untill his handlers had to correct him on how ABSURD that statement was.
