Women Who Support McCain/Palin

Dear friends,

What am I missing? Why are women supporting Sarah Palin? I am married with children and I am wondering what women who are planning to vote for Palin are thinking!

First of all she thinks this war in Iraq is God ordained. Last I checked, Jesus never said anything about going to war. In fact, as I remember it, he often spoke about loving thy neighbor. That isn't a big one for the Christian right, I know, but Christ himself did issue this commandment.

Another thing, who among you doesn't have a dear friend who has been in a horrible position and has had to consider, if not have, an abortion? Yes, yes, I know. It's easy to judge. And I was very judgmental myself as a youngster--then I got pregnant out of wedlock. Did I abort? No, I gave my dear son up for adoption, and though I know it was the right decision, I will always suffer for loss. However, walking this walk taught me a lot. And going through this heart wrenching experience has taught me that there are no easy answers to such a difficult situation. It is easy to judge, but difficult be the one who has to make the decision. Again, there are no easy answers. Though I did not have an abortion myself, I support my sisters' right to do what is necessary in the circumstance. After all, abortions will happen anyway. At least if abortion is legal, it will be safe. Please, please, please, do not vote for McCain/Palin. It will be a nightmare for women. We need respect and independence, not some turn coat who has sided with the right wing men!
