    It has been often pointed out that Hilliary women voters will not go to Palin because Palin is Pro-life! Please elabroate on other women's issues. Does Palin believe there should not be a "glass ceiling"? Apparently so since she is trying to break what Hilliary and Geraldine cracked. Does she believe in equal pay? I don't know, but as a conseervative, I believe women who are doing the same job as men should be paid the same and are. If you do not believe this, please give me an example of a woman working along side a man in the same job with the same experience and tenure who is not making the same salary.
    Should women have the right to own guns? Palin believes so while most liberals believe women should not have that right as they believe men should not own guns either.
    I as a conservative believe dead-beat dads should be forced to pay child support for the children they fathered then abandoned. I don't know but would be surprised if Palin did not share this view as well.
    So I repeat, the only issue that seems to separate Palin from Hilliary voters is abortion.
    And please, can we not discuss this without meaningless insults that add nothing to the debate!

      Democrats believe women should not own guns? Better get control of that wild imagination of yours. The right to bear arms is in the Constitution and as a Constitutional lawyer, I 'm sure Barak Obama supports this right, for men and for women.

      "proud of your ignorance"?

        "proud of your ignorance"?
        USA Today: The Supreme Court's historic decision Thursday carving out an individual right to gun ownership immediately cast doubt on gun restrictions nationwide, as firearms-rights advocates prepared to file a new round of lawsuits testing the scope of the ruling.
        The momentous 5-4 ruling that struck down a ban on handguns in Washington, D.C.
        In Chicago, which has had a freeze on handgun registrations since 1982, officials vowed to continue enforcing one of the nation's strictest ordinances beyond the D.C. law the high court rejected.
        Obama backed some gun-control measures and called the D.C. law constitutional. Obama changed his opinion once the Supreme Court handed down the decision

        I found it a little unusual that you didn't seem to add any qualifications to your support for abortions. Most people will.

        A little episode: A few months ago, I had reason to talk with a nurse practioner in central IL sort of near me. In her practice, she was preparing to induce labor for a normal vaginal birth to a young woman who would be 6 months pregnant at the time. This woman, whose spouse was off in Iraq, had worked herself into a tizzy with fear of being poisoned to the extent that she was endangering both herself and the child's life. So the NP felt that the delivery was the best option. I questioned the timing, and she assured me that a six-month old fetus was cerainly viable outside the womb. OB-GYNs I've asked since then confirm this.

        I ask the following simply because you did not add any qualifiers: Would you support an woman's right to an abortion even if the developing fetus in question would be viable as a child outside the womb?

        Also, without meaning to impugn anyone, I was always taught that one is responsible for one's actions and the consequences thereof. I'm inferring from your words that you do not believe that this applies with respect to sex and abortion. On the assumption that there are other areas in which it does not apply, how do the rest of us avoid you? I have no great desire to e.g. be assulted with a frozen salmon--paticularly if the fish-bearer doesn't feel responsible for the consequences.
