Ow, my back. *wince*

-- Shame on the mainstream media, when the women from The View are the ones asking the hard-hitting questions of John McCain. Yes, even Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whom I hate with a passion.

-- I can't contain my rage at the story that Governor Palin wanted rape victims to pay for their own rape kits, which is so appallingly offensive I can't even think of anything to say to that.

On the other hand, am I the only one who gets extremely uncomfortable whenever her decision to carry a Down's baby to term is used as evidence of her hypocrisy regarding a woman's right to choose? Granted, every pregnancy should be a woman's decision to continue or not, but ... a Down's baby? Really?

-- My back is still killing me. I need to go soak in the tub for a while. Ow.

The fact that she presents that, and her daughter's continued pregnancy, as a choice rather than the only possible option, ever, is kinda hypocritical, I suppose, because in her ideal world the "choice" could only go one way
Yeah, this is what makes me spit - the fact that it wouldn't even be a choice, for anyone. But I don't get the logic of her being a hypocrite otherwise o_O

Sorry, that's actually what I meant. I guess somewhere between coming off seven straight twelve-hour days of work and my back I phrased it wrong.
