Everyday on dkos, I apprehend about "single affair pro-choice voters" and it is never a compliment. There are alike a lot of women actuality who use the appellation with derision. But aback one of the says "I am a pro-cboice woman but...." I apperceive that they are absolutely anti-choice bodies arena a game.
Their arguments usually go article like this: I am pro-choice but I additionally affliction about unemployment heathcare etc.... to which I say "so what? We've run out of pro-choice democrats who additionally abutment those issues?"
Pro-choice may be a distinct affair but it is additionally the 1000 lb apache and if women would stop actuality so amoeba aback it comes to afraid up for ourselves there would be no catechism about appeasing the fetal attraction of some voters to win aback the votes of the 15 white guy exhausted voters who accord a bits about abortion.
We aren't accident white guys because of aborticide rights. We're accident them because we run candidates who can't discharge out a simple book and acquaint bodies area they angle in a believable manner.
This abstraction that we accept to run anti-choice candidates in states like Pa and RI so that we can win (THE POLLS THE POLLS) aback all affirmation suggests that, at atomic in Pa, on a statewide level, PRO-CHOICE candidates WIN, is annihilation added than political abetment by the assembly attack commitee who appetite to allay the anti-choice boyhood in the party.
What they avoid is the actuality that there are absolutely exhausted voters in Pa. They are pro-choice republican women. They vote for pro-choice democrats all the time. But they aren't activity to exhausted their vote for an anti-choice DEMOCRAT. They accept no acumen to do so.
Santorum does not win in Pa because he is anti-choice or adjoin gay rights. He wins because he is a budgetary conservative. If that weren't the case how do you explain Arlen Spector, Ed Rendell, Governor Ridge?
If Howard Dean were to run for appointment in Pa adjoin Santorum he'd bang his ass all the way to 2012 and afresh to 2018. Why? Because he can allocution budgetary bourgeois with ascendancy and he's not apparent as anti-gun.
Pro-choice is the alone rational abstinent postion. It agency you can't chose abundance for me and I can't chose aborticide for you, alike if I do anticipate you accept too abounding kids and the apple is over populated.
It agency you can't chose abundance and motherhood for me and I can't chose automatic sterilization for you so that women don't accept to anguish about actuality fabricated abyss or affected to attending at fetal portraits or delay 24 hours or beg a adjudicator or sit through a lecture, or be an incuabator for a wealthier woman who can't or won't get abundant but wants a nice white babyish and not one of the bags of boyhood babies growing up in advance care.
On accession cilia some one asked this:
Since you accept this column so well, advice me analyze the following.
Why are THESE credibility accurate and valid:
1. The appropriate to aloofness is a axiological assumption of the Autonomous Party.
2. Adequation beneath the law is a axiological assumption of the Autonomous Party. 3. A woman's appropriate to accept flows logically from both the appropriate to aloofness and the abstraction of adequation beneath the law.
And yet THIS point, in Kos' world, is absolute horseshit:
A woman's appropriate to accept is a axiological assumption of the Autonomous Party.
Maybe you could advice me accept the distinction, because I am abiding not accepting it.
To which I replied this:
If one has a penis again one's axiological rights are added axiological than the rights of those after a penis. If you do not accept a penis again your axiological rights are negotiable depending on whether bodies with penises can win elections.
Think I am kidding? No I am not. There is sexism in the autonomous affair aloof as there is in the republican party. It is aloof as able and it is all about men, who authority the ability if not the majority, actuality afflictive in a affair that added and added doesn't attending like them. They don't aloof appetite democrats to win, they appetite white males to win and if not white males, again at atomic males. When women get ability in this affair in admeasurement to our numbers, there are activity to be as abounding women as men in congress, the senate, the whitehouse, the political organizations and that is a alarming account to bodies who appetite to be alligned with ability and accept been socialized from a adolescent age to anticipate that mean's "person with penis".
I am not accusing all men, in actuality I am not accusing most. I apperceive that generally sexism is not intentional. But lots of men will affirmation they are not sexist aback they best absolutely are. Even some women are anti women's rights because they chose to allign themselves with the "don't bedrock the baiter and we will let you adhere with the guys" contingent.
In addition, get the hell over NARAL, they don't abide to get democrats elected. The acknowledgment to the altercation that women's rights will be adequate aback democrats are in power, and therefor NARAL cut their own throat, avalanche collapsed while the affair is annointing anti-choice candidates. NARAL endorses incumbants because they accept accurate adherence to their issue. The minute NARAL stops actuality non-partisan is aback they absolutely cut their own throat. I am abiding that if democrats in DE run a pro-choice applicant they have a acceptable adventitious to win. But for several acclamation cycles, aloof like actuality in Pa, they accept run republican lite candidates.
In commendations to the acclamation in PA (and RI)..... nice try Schumer. We apperceive that acclamation are absurd this far out. Best of the bodies who voted accept no abstraction who Casey is or what he stands for. They admit his name and they apperceive he isn't Santorum.
My anticipation is that Casey will lose and if he should appear to win, women lose.
The acumen Hoefful didn't exhausted Spector is because Spector is pro-choice and has the endorsement of the agents Union. Still if the affair had absolutely gotten abaft Hoeffel he ability accept won. If the affair would get abaft a pro-choice democrat adjoin Santorum, the way they are activity to get abaft Casey, that applicant would additionally win.
So insult me and abbreviate me and alarm me awful names to try to annoyer me(one affair voter) but you can't accomplish me vote for anti-choice candidates anymore than you can accomplish atramentous voters vote for pro-slavery canidates.
I don't accept to, I am the majority and pro-choice candidates of every band are in abounding accumulation in my party.
