Some of our repuke 'sisters' are complete lost causes, I'm afraid...

... as evidenced by this story about Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's stance against emergency contraception and abortion:

...Yesterday, some of the Women for Romney volunteers were furious with Romney's declaration that he is ''prolife" and that he disapproved of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal nationwide. He announced his stance Monday as he vetoed a bill that would expand access to emergency contraception.

''I'm very disappointed," said Nancy Luther, a Republican state committeewoman from Topsfield and a member of Republican Majority for Choice, which endorsed Romney in 2002. ''He's put his political future above the promises he made to Massachusetts."

(snip)

Even Luther, dismayed by his veto, said she would support a Romney reelection. ''Oh, I'd vote for him, because I'm a Republican and I'm a party activist," she said.

2. It's astounding, isn't it?

''Oh, I'd vote for him, because I'm a Republican and I'm a party activist," she said.

Yep - I'll go against my own interest, and those of my daughters, because, well, I'm a republican and I'm a party activist. Makes perfect sense, doens't it? :eyes:

3. "I'm a republican..." so I guess we really can't expect much better, eh?

4. These are the same women that fail to see

how any of this affects them, if they should lose their husbands, their lifestyles, etc.

The same women that frown on affirmative action, as a construct that takes opportunities away from 'good, hard working, white people' and fails to see it was also for WOMEN of any race, color or creed. Because women in our country STILL earn less than men doing the same jobs.

The same women that will deny their sisters an abortion, but have one in secret, in another city, county or state.

The very women that would go through painful and expensive fertilization treatments when she is unable to conceive, when many children go unadopted year after year.

:grr: :shrug:

I have a hard time seeing any level of logic with the women on the other side of these issues.
