I understand your anger Rose, and I also know that "these issues" are selling points to get the female votes too so I don't know what "action" will take place verses "promises".

I know you to be a "responsible" woman and I agree with the fact that you do deserve "your rights". What I worry about is not women like you, but women who will take that to the extreme and use "abortion" as birth control or have it even get back to the point where "late term abortions" are allowed again, where, in my opinion, if the baby is healthy in late term and the mother's life is not in danger from delivering that child, there needs to be "protection for that unborn life".

Sigh... we always come to a point of "who will decide" and rights. And even when it comes to child "neglect", it can also get to a point where a mother can say, "I have the right to raise my child the way I deem fit for me". Well, that was said to me by a mother who was locking her children, very young children in a room for hours, a hot room with no fan, while she taught riding lessons. It was awful, and it is so hard to "protect" children and be able to draw the line at times.

Yes, I heard opinions that I didn't care for either as a woman. As I said, I had "no passion" for either candidate in this election.

I sat across from my daughter on my birthday and we talked about a student I had that is now 19. Well, she was a working student and a pretty and nice young lady.
Her parents are now divorced, her father an alcoholic and her parents have done nothing to help her further her education, and get her therapy as well which she needs because she has had her stomach pumped twice now. However, her parents are helping her younger sister get therapy and planning that child's education. My daughter is on the fence about taking her in when she gets her new home and trying to help her and I am now thinking about her using my Mustang to ride and train for another "productive" and "positive" as this young lady is a good rider, if given the chance for that too. I just wish I had "funds" to help, I don't know how it is all going to work. I am not sure she will grab hold of the help and try "inspite" of the neglect and her emotional struggle either.

Hey, I hope Obama does a Clinton and realizes that he has to reach out and be more "bipartisan", I hope "both" parties do that, otherwise, the future looks gloomy, no more "revenge" talk, we need these people in Washington to actually "work" for a change IMO.
