This has NOTHING to do with protecting newborns and EVERYTHING to do with controlling women.

This infuriates me. GOP wants to eliminate family planning, defund Planned Parenthood, outlaw abortion. We can't seem to afford prenatal healthcare, but there appears to be enough funding in Montana to jail pregnant women. No war on women, eh?

1. preaching to the choir

here. Yet women are told they must vote for a D, even if they are anti-choice. Instead of insisting the party only support candidates that are for equal rights. Under no circumstance will males give up any rights.

2. I know I'm preaching to the choir.

And for the record, I won't vote for an anti-choice Democrat. I won't.

3. Two responses which cheer me up.

Vote on issues, not party line. Vote for what you believe in. Listen to what the candidates advocate and, if they are running for reelection, examine their voting record in office.

4. Fortunately most Democrats are pro-choice.

So it's not usually an issue, as ninety-nine percent of the time I vote a straight Democratic ticket, but the choice issue is a deal-breaker. Don't think I've ever been forced to vote for a Repub. due to choice, though. At worst, I would simply not vote on that office.

5. Well, buzzkill. So much for voting based on issues.

My happy place was nice while it lasted. By all means, a straight ticket is so much easier than actually thinking.
