It would be a simple, final solution to the question, but politicians from both political parties DO NOT WANT THE ISSUE TO BE SETTLED for the very simple reason Rove defined it as a "wedge" issue. Both parties have used it like the sword of Damocles over the heads of women. Conservative men have used it as a way of controlling wives, daughters and girlfriends. In other words, for the Democrats, it has been a political strategy to keep women going to the polls to vote the Party line. It worked pretty well for those of us who had experienced an illegal abortion or knew someone who had. Those who opposed it are the same men who opposed the "pill" on the grounds it would create a generation of women with sexual freedom and that would challenge their dominance in marriages and relationships. It has taken many long years for me to understand my vote was being extorted by Democrats in order to protect the right the Supreme Court (all men) had so generously bestowed on me to control my reproductive organs. To be something more than someones wife or mother or to be only that if I chose. I have had too many years of believing the lie it would all end under a Republican Administration. Now, I don't care anymore. The majority of American women support choice, so let's amend the Constitution and remove it from the political arena. Think about this; The ERA was defeated twice and the Democratic Party has made no effort in decades to introduce it again. I'm tired of this fight and it will never again determine my vote. That is true liberation. SFhillary, the question of legal abortions has never been introduced as an amendment to the Constitution and have you ever asked anyone why?

I voted for Doug Wilder in Virginia. I've voted for black mayors in two cities. I've voted for two female governors. It's not about the skin color or the race or the gender. Those are as irrelevant to me as the color of someone's hair. It's the lack of experience, the disrespect shown to me as a supporter of another candidate and as a woman, the prevaricating about the flip-flopping, and the history of questionable associations that are my issues with Obama.

She actually has a real chance to WIN and HOLD OFFICE, unlike all the other "strong, knowledgeable" women who have failed. Concern trolls like you and Gloria Steinem and Erica Jong who say, 'not this particular woman' are the ones holding women back. We can't afford to wait until the female Jesus you could support arrives on the scene before entrusting the country to a mere woman. Sarah Palin has shown no indication of wanting to insert her religious beliefs in government. She's even been quoted as saying Roe isn't going anywhere. And at the very least, I feel she has my best interests at heart, contrasted with BO who I don't feel does, well, we don't know what the hell he really believes. She and John McCain are my Candidates Y. I feel this is our chance to get that ceiling shattered once and for all. If she screws up, we'll probably reelect her just like GWB, but at least electing the next woman won't be such a big freakin' deal. I disagree. IMO, having Gov.
