So do I!

When that baby first emerged, she had WAY more going for her than the donald does to this day. Mentally AND otherwise.

Lapdog Extraordinaire.

Aw, TalenaGor - I'm sorry about your unhappy news.

Damn.

It didn't have to be this way. I hope you can at least see each other through the window, or something. Even that little bit of a reach-out might cheer her.

So much about this DID. NOT. HAVE. TO. HAPPEN.

I liked him, too, but felt he needed a broader resume, but he's young! He's got TIME!

And potential! And I think Joe Biden recognizes that.

My first choice was Jay Inslee, because Inslee was/is MASSIVELY on environmental issues as I am, and seemed to be the only candidate who was, til he bowed out. Then I went directly to the Biden camp.

Truth! Joe's just starting to staff up. I trust him to pick good people, including Mayor Pete!

And I trust Joe Biden to do what he promised as far as African Americans in high places. He's already proving that he knows talent and can make some really great choices - in background, experience, and smarts, as well as diversity. He's already picked our first African American UN Ambassador. And has everyone already forgotten he has a Vice President who he picked - a SECOND IN COMMAND - and FIRST Person Of Color - in Kamala Harris??? Hello???

Have we really forgotten about her already? Seriously? As we learned in Catholic school - "Oh ye of little faith..."

JEEZ, people! Give him time!!!

Points VERY well-taken.

Let's boil it down. "It's NOT UP TO YOU."

YOU have NOTHING to do with it.

It's not YOUR blood relation.
It's not YOUR body.
It's not YOUR medical condition.
It's not YOUR life.
It's not YOUR job.
It's not YOUR family dynamic.
It's not YOUR ability to afford or not to afford.
It's not YOUR circumstances OR YOUR personal problem.

Just what is it about a woman's right to control what happens to HER body, in HER life, and in HER unique, personal, and VERY private circumstances and problems that YOU don't get?

And if YOU force her to carry that baby to term, are YOU going to step up and make sure she has the resources or the support system to make a go of it with that baby? Or that she can make all the arrangements for an adoption? What if there's nowhere she can go to get help - because YOU voted to cut funding to services that she'd need in a situation like this - because YOU didn't want to pay taxes?

Or are YOU going to step up and adopt that baby and fork over all the money it'll take - AND all the TIME it'll take - to raise that baby and provide everything it'll need? Are YOU ready to make all those sacrifices?

And what's that YOU say - that YOU'RE "pro-life"?

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
