DISQUS

This has been a whole lot of effort, loss of lives and devastation just to catch one man.

I think that a female "Maverick" would be up their screaming about the poverty that exists in America. The number of children living in poverty
the need for medicare for everyone
affordable housing
unnecessary military expenditures
the no. of civilian deaths that her country is responsible for in other countries
the growing gap between rich and poor with wealth getting more and more concentrated in the top 3% of the nation's well to do.
She would question the number of houses anyone person can own and she would suggest that since they are so affluent perhaps they could give up one of those for a social housing project.
She would talk about the long history of women in patriarchy How they became property.
How women died from backroom abortions before some qualified doctors stepped in to help because as medical professionals they could no longer just witness the suffering.
She would insist that energy be focused on ProLife ,meaning : support the lives of all babies and children already born who need help and nurturing to survive.
She might even mention the rapes of women all over this nation,and even in the military.

should read: of the sufferings and DEATHS

"THE PILL" a book that documents the history of WOMEN Struggling for birth control features the work of pioneer in that movement Margaret Sanger. Right off the bat we hear her account of her mother giving birth to yet another unwanted child.Born as a result of a drunken husband coming home after cashing in his paycheck and having his way with his wife.
Sanger has umpteen stories of the sufferings and of women from botched backroom abortions.
Here in Canada,which some of you Americans may see from your yard,we have honoured Dr. Henry Morgentaler with the Order of Canada award. He went to jail for us. He had compassion for us and he performed safe abortions for us.
Did the Right to Lifers protest about such a prestigious award going to him? You betcha'!
One Catholic priest even handed back his own award as a protest even tho" his church recently had to apologize for the treatment of First Nations children at the Residential schools,rapes included.
Has Ms Palin never read this book or know of the history of womens' struggles with undesirable pregnancies?
What is so very disturbing to me is their belief that the state will somehow care for all these unwanted babies when America has so many children living in poverty. The world has a huge log of babies and children not being cared for, be it from war,AIDS, diseases,abandonment,family crises.
ProLIFERS should and could be putting their energies there.
