AND while he's fighting the "uppity" racial stereotype--that man needs to show some balls and fight this shit these skeezy republicans are passing off as politics and love of country. I know he can do it, you know he can do it... but I feel like the republicans are winning this race to the lowest common denominator vote--and why? They have NOTHING. OBAMA, a plea--get uppity when it counts, dude!

]]> Comment on And speaking of teen pregnancy… by Kate http://putsomeon.com/2008/01/22/and-speaking-of-teen-pregnancy/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Kate Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:03:32 +0000 http://lipbalm.abuelsamid.com/2008/01/22/and-speaking-of-teen-pregnancy/#comment-3 Whoa! 34 years ago I, too, got knocked up. I wasn't 15, but at 24 I was divorced and a single parent of a three year old. To top it off, I was told the abortion was medically necessitated and that my only other choice was to wait until I miscarried, when they were afraid they wouldn't be able to control the bleeding. The chances of keeping the child were zero. Now, in the bad old days before Roe v Wade, I would have had to have my case reviewed by a hospital board, which could have taken up to six weeks. Six weeks we weren't sure I had. Thank God, abortion was legal and I could get it done quickly and safely. I haven't regretted it, either. When I was told what my options were, my first thought was that I had to keep myself alive for my son. There are a lot more reasons for abortion than the ones the Right-to-Lifers condemn. Choices keep us safe. While I agree not getting pregnant in the first place is better, I'm glad we have this as a fallback. Whoa! 34 years ago I, too, got knocked up.
