I try to keep my writing light, but I am so fervent about this particular point that I had to express it because OH MY GOD, how is the mainstream media not hitting on this every day???
According to Sarah Palin, who by November could be one stalled heartbeat away from the presidency, she believes in supporting wholeheartedly working women, single mothers and women everywhere….
Hmm, so you’re telling me that to support them, you cut all funding to every program in Alaska that caters to young single women. You’re telling me that you’re supporting working women by refusing to promote legislature that would raise the salary level for women in Alaska? You’re telling me that the only sex education that you support is abstinence only (even though that has proven to be nothing but a complete failure on every level). And you’re telling me that you will work to support women’s rights with these standpoints? Because I just want to be clear.
I don’t hate conservative people and I surely think they sometimes have valid viewpoints. But I only respect HONEST conservatives who extol their REAL viewpoints. Truth be told, I know that sex education, abortion and women’s rights as a whole are not popular issues this time around. Certainly not when our economy is tanking, we are in two wars and the morale of the country is at an all-time low. But is it too much to ask to be given “straight talk”? I mean, no one is begging her to take on the large cross that is modern feminism. So don’t insult my intelligence by telling me that you’re helping me, and my sister and my friends by hoping to overturn Roe vs. Wade, Don’t lie to me and tell me that you are hoping to encourage and inspire young women by refusing to educate them about sex, sending them off into the world with misinformation and ignorance and then cut off all funding when they return with burgeoning bellies, low self-esteem, no education and no support system.
Just tell me the truth: you don’t believe in abortion. You don’t believe in sex education. You don’t believe women deserve equal pay, or equal rights for that matter. And then let me tell you: a McCain/ Palin administration would be a very scary place for women.
