Election poll....
General Talk
I'm voting for Obama...I'd rather vote for the guy who has had to fight against minority related stereotypes and such...than the one who thinks the government gives out too much assistance to those who are at or below poverty levels.
I dunno...when people are reported to say things like not caring about almost half of our population...I wonder if they actually DO if they were voted in because we believed that what they stood for was the most similar to mine.
I can honestly say that I do not know much about Romney...about how he grew up and that sort of thing...my assumptions are that he never had to worry too much about money or making the decision between eating and paying your electricity bill?
The Obamas have only recently paid off their student loan debt. Did Romney even HAVE student loan debt?
but...
in the scheme of things...
One of the most important things I look at in a candidate is their voting record when it comes to women's reproductive health. Romney has failed in my mind...by wanting to cut funding to organizations that provide reproductive health care simply because they offer a procedure that he is religiously against...
also being affiliated with a party that is continuously fighting to take away options that women before me have fought for with blood and tears...
Was it Romney whose wife was saved by being induced to go into labor and give birth to a child that was too early to survive? Basically it was a procedure that was performed that would be considered a type of "late abortion." The procedure being one that is approved until a certain amount of weeks....but because of this whole "right to life" and all this other bull..they want want to lower the threshold on how far along you can be and still have this sometimes life saving procedure done. Yes...the baby dies...but a mother's health should be important as well...right? She has already been here in this world...the baby is...raw materials still...
Basically the reason I'm saying this is...the argument the guy in the couple had about his wife having had the life saving procedure was that he loves his wife. He cares whether or not she dies and that was important in making the decision to terminate the child's life... He then followed this by saying that he doesn't care about another woman who might be going through the same medical issues. He doesn't love them...so it doesn't matter to him if they live or die...What is important is passing this bill to lower the threshold because of the possibility the procedure will be used on a mother for non-medical purposes. These babies lives are what matter....
Ok...I went WAY too far into that...
Essentially...I know Obama loves the women...it's not that he supports abortion or whatever (I don't know his stances)
I already know that it's important to him to continue funding for programs that are fundamental to a women's reproductive health...
Romney doesn't care.....work harder he says...make more money and buy your own insurance...ha..
