Plucked from the Slog, originally ABC news:
"Speaking to reporters on his campaign plane, Obama said mental health exceptions—which are a real battleground issue in the abortion debate—can be “rigorously” limited to only those women with “serious clinical mental health diseases.” He said mental health exceptions are not intended permit abortions when a woman simply “doesn’t feel good.”
“It is not just a matter of feeling blue,” Obama said."
Whoa. A woman who's feeling blue will just decided to terminate her 6+ month pregnancy? I find that horribly insulting. This is the type of latent sexism that still permeates this country. A woman's moody, and might do something she'll later regret, so we have to pass a law against it.
Abortion is an absolute deal breaker for me and language like this seriously starts pissing me off.
Current Obama stance: Will be holding my nose to vote for him. McCain is far worse and I'm well aware of that, but I won't be sending money as of right now.
This was supposed to be our (Dems) fun campaign. Thanks a lot BO.
