1. For all the women saying they'll vote for McCain because of Hillary...

...I sincerely hope they watch these spots. In the end, only democrats will stand up for women's privacy and reproductive rights. To vote for McCain out of spite is a disservice to all women and if I may say so, the premise is ridiculous

2. I will never understand

how anyone could be brought so low as to vote against all of their own, direct interests and do it out of having a snit-fit because their candidate didn't get the nomination, especially when considering how hard women fought to get the vote less than 100 years ago.

I will never understand how some can so cavalierly throw their vote away by giving it someone whose total aim is to destroy them and this country, economically, reproductively, legally and who called his own wife a "c-u-next-tuesday" in public. Where is the logic in that?

5. Voters can be fickle...

They don't know what the candidates stand for.

They don't watch the debates.

They don't find out about the candidates.

They watch their biased television and form their opinions by what the commentators say.

John McCain's positions regarding women are dangerous. Hopefully, all of the women who backed Hillary and are now contemplating supporting McCain get their heads together.

When the next President takes office, John Paul Stevens will be 88, Ruth Bader Ginsburg 75, both Stephen Breyer and David Souter 69. It's a safe bet that one or two of them will be departing in the next four years. A Supreme Court dominated by McCain appointees will set back women's rights decades.

6. Please spell words correctly...

when making your case. Otherwise it loses its merit. You wrote; "...what about there privacy and reproductive rights." It should have read; "...what about their privacy and reproductive rights?"

7. I don't think babies often think of their reproductive rights...

Your logic is flawed.

The whole point of the McCain's Women's Clinic ads is that McCain is so out of touch on women's issues that his election as President will be disastrous for women and their reproductive rights.

McCain has four biological children, but he has never been pregnant. He's never had to contemplate whether or not he can support a child, whether or not he is emotionally ready for a child, whether or not his partner might leave him if he told them he was pregnant.

He is a man. It's not up to him. It's not up to me and it's not up to you. It's up to each individual woman. You don't know what's going on in their minds.

Don't be a fool. Making abortion illegal isn't going to stop women from having them. It's going to go back to the clothes hangers, knitting needles and rusty fishhooks of the past.
