I had always described myself a a feminist. A feminist to me was some one who believed in equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity in jobs and in schools. I also subscribed to the pro choice decision in Roe versus Wade.
I no longer attach myself to the tittle of feminist. It no longer has the same meaning. Kim Gandy and the organization NOW has endorsed obama, because he is the "pro choice candidate. They no longer work toward equal pay and opportunity for women, they are only concerned about abortion.
Just as the democrats have failed me, NOW has also taken a turn in another direction which does not include all we have fought to obtain.
They will not back Sarah Palin because she chose for herself and child, life. This her belief and her choice. Joe biden also believes life begins at conception and abortion is morally wrong, but they do not hound him.
The democratic party and NOW used to believe in "choice but do not believe Sarah Palin has a choice.
Women, like men, come in all colors and stripes, all sizes and shapes and all are uniquely different. Some believe that life begins are birth, when the breath of life enters the lungs, some at conception. But we are all women.
Senator John McCain makes an example of equal pay for equal work by practicing that in his Senate office and his campaign. Does BO?
Actions, my friend, actions, speak louder than any words spoken. Remember bull-crap walks.

Let's Hear It for the Ladies Who Brought Us the 19th Amendment and the Women's Vote!
ReplyDeleteThe many opinions on Governor Palin are proof that women can and do diverge on important issues.
Thanks to the suffragettes, women have voices and choices.
I'd like to let your readers know about an exciting and convenient free way to discover the true story of the suffragettes.
Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won votes for women, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.
"The Privilege of Voting" is an exciting, new FREE e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to finally win the vote.
It's a real-life soap opera about the suffragettes! It's shocking, sometimes heartbreaking and truly inspiring, and it's ALL true!
