Palin Teenage Pregancy.
What no one is considering here is the possibility that this young girl could have been coerced/pressured by her boyfriend into having unprotected sex. She also could have been raped/incested. And given her mother's zero tolerance stance on abortion, that would mean that the possibility exists that this young girl is being forced by her mother to ...

Palin: American Idol Contestant
I cringe when I hear Gov. Palin speak, too. Once I've heard the clips of the day showing her acute incapacity for intellectual depth or coherence on any given subject, I mute them thereafter. But that has nothing to do with a pseudo-feminist sense of identification with ''the'' woman candidate, or with women candidates in general. Much as I ...

WOMEN DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE ON MCCAIN
As a liberal white woman, a feminist since the ‘60’s, and a grandmother, there are things I deeply resent about Sarah Palin’s candidacy and the way the Republicans are representing Gov Palin, the radical religious right, and the Republican Party as a force for the progress of women: * All of a sudden, Republicans and the radical ...

DITTO: Manditory Black-out on Palinograhpy
Thanks for bringing this up. Some of us have contacted local radio shows to stop ANY media attention until Palin faces the country on live T.V. In less than 8weeks, this virtual stranger could be either the V.P. or the President (should McCain's health falter) of this country. A person who goes to rallies to talk trash about Obama then hides ...

Palin's Choice
I love the thought of women ascending to high office. While women haven't hit the executive office yet, many fine and talented woman have been in the Senate, Congress, and cabinet positions for decades. As a child of the 70s I myself am abundantly gifted with the benefits of the 70s woman's movement. But the thing that bothers me about Sara ...

Melinda, Hillary voters are NOT the target-religious right
Melinda, Correction: She is to get the religious right to the polls not women. McCain bowed down to pressure from the religious right. McCain has only met Palin once in his life, he wanted Lieberman, fiscal conservatives wanted Romney. Palin is to the RIGHT of both Bush and McCain. She is anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest (-the ...

The Clarence Thomas moment for feminists
Gov. Palin is far right of G.W.Bush on women's reproductive rights and Gay rights. She is 100% against abortion WITHOUT any exception (rape, incest, death to mother). The republican platform has been changed this year to reflect this new and aggressive fight against Roe v. Wade. Additionally, she like Bush is against contraceptives like ...
