McCain Traitor Should Have to Forfeit Uterus; Not Just Dem Seat
Reading about the former Dem delegate that is planning to vote for McCain, I realized she is an ER nurse. As a fellow nurse, I am disgusted that she would take the chance with a womens reproductive health due to misplaced anger. It's fine if your vote only affects you or your children but you are choosing for people who don't have a vote yet.
Young women who will end up in her ER with botched back-alley abortions. Young women who will lose their fertility, lose their uterus, or lose their lives all because you didn't get you way.
Because thats what it comes down to. I understand the anger. If Barack had lost I would be angry too. But I would never risk my daughters lives to prove a point. That's childish. Shortsighted. And when youre chosing to place my daughters in the balance to ease your wounded feelings, down right evil.
Now I am not "pro-abortion". I spent many years as a L&D nurse. I wish no one ever needed one and I would like them to be much more rare. But I'm also a realist. It will require much more than a law making abortion illegal for it to become a seldom used option.
This is so much bigger than Obama or McCain. This is about the rest of our lives. Because the ugly truth is that there are women that simply won't survive a McCain presidency.

The white male Bush Base is totally obsessed with sex. Bush Base females go along also. The obsession involves gays, fetuses, the 'unborn', or specifically government control of the female reproductive tract and any form of contraception. Edward Abbey called anti-choice laws rape by the state.
The sex obsession and domination of women is why so many 'values' Republicans cheat on their wives, have many ex's (McCain, Gingrich, Limbaugh..), hire prostitutes, give gay prostitutes White House press passes (Jeff Gannon), practice polygamy or are themselves closet gays.

It may not be intentional...just one of those "unintended consequences" people aren't smart enough to think about.
