Why Feminists Hate Sarah Palin

VW, bollocks. You can't grasp it, fine but you are simply wrong.

I'm not wrong, but you can't grasp that.

ummmm, lets see, she didn't do a very good job with her own daughter.

to the opposite sex?

She's done fine with her daughter. Her daughter is loved, accepted and supported; not rejected and scorned. They also realize that it takes two to tango, so the father is not optional. No one is advocating perfection, just better choices. Barack NObama said he didn't want his daughters "punished" with a baby. Are babies punishment to you?

You can't be more wrong, but I understand why you have problems with this concept. Abortion is not murder either even if in your personal ethical system it is.

How would that be achieved?

Oh, let's just throw in some more emotional invective and stir the pot So predictable.

And oral sex isn;t really sex.

If a fetus wasn't living, it wouldn't have to be killed. That is denial that too many lie to themselves about. I'll admit it. That's the least that can be done for the dignity of the position.

To muck up your stereotypes, I admit that I'm not only conservative, but pro-choice. My faith allows for early abortion, but I could never have one. Having given birth to five kids, I know it's not for everyone. Yet, our society isn't honest about family life or the reality of raising children. I advocate abstinance before marriage, and less exhibitionism in our cultural norms, which sexualizes pretty much everyone and everything.

Another reason that Sarah Palin is in opposition to most women. I don't really mind if you advocate abstinance before marriage. But I believe that people should have easy access to good sex education and contraception. So that if young women and men choose not to do what they were taught, and have sex they can prevent unwanted pregnancy. Sarah Palin would hinder this feminist cause too.

Yep.

Do not make the elementary mistake of confusing murder with death. They are not interchangeable concepts.

Sarah Palin herself got pregnant and had a shotgun wedding and now her daughter is doing the same. The abstinance doctrine left both mother and daughter with unwanted pregnancies. The loved, accepted, supported stuff that was all over the convention is severly missing the point. The point is that both women were left in a situation that they did not choose to be in (and the men in their lives for that matter). They were both lacking in choices because of a church doctine that has served to keep women down for centuries. It's one thing to make mistakes, but to continue the same behaviour and expect different results is madness.

Oh, and I don't think even you VW have the magic powers required to decide under what basis any woman other than youself might justify their decision to abort a foetus. You have concluded that it's because 'too many' lie to themselves about what an abortion entails without one jot of evidence.
