Abortion is Legal -- Get Over It

The health-reform bill is using women's reproductive rights as a bargaining chip. I hope women will remember what politicians seem to forget when Election Day roles around, that we too have the right to vote. It was long overdue and a very rough road, so we treasure our ability to cast our vote for those who work the hardest for us and equally passionately against those who work against us. Abortion is also our Constitutional right and we will take our right to vote very seriously with regard to any efforts by those who believe more in fairy tales than in the rights of women and our health care.

Obama's Speech on Health Care

Did you watch it? Did you listen to it? Did you pay attention to the audience? Did you see who applauded and who didn't? Why wouldn't any member of Congress not want any of their constituents to have the benefit of health care? Why would any of these people tell their constituents health care as described by the President would be bad and what information are they basing that on if any? Do you think that maybe the only reason would be the money they will no longer get from the insurance companies that do not want the health care plan the President is proposing? Do you think the reason they are not enthusiastic about the health care plan is greed? If I were a reporter or anyone with a way of finding out the dirt on the dirty, I would begin investigating each and every one of the men and women in that room who refused to applaud the health care plan. Have they been receiving money for their negativity toward a health care plan for all from the insurance companies to anyone who may have been giving them any incentive to keep it from passing? Let the investigations begin people. This is our country and the people who sat with their arms folded during the speech, refusing to applaud are keeping Republicans as well as Democrats from benefiting from health care.
