A Lucky Person Gets Up In The

I Kept Trying To Tell People That Just Because I Was Young Didn't Mean I Could Speak For All Young People.

I Am A Catholic. I Can't Say That Without Pointing Out That I Oppose Abortion With All My Heart And Soul. Bill Clinton Wanted Them Safe And Rare. Barack Obama Is Heartsick That So Many People He Knows Have Had Abortions. But We're All Pro-choice And Believe In Reproductive Freedom And Oppose The Republicans' War On Women.

War Should Always Be The Absolute Last Resort.

This Administration [of Barack Obama] Favors A Pluralistic World And Respects Cultural Differences, So It's Wrong For The West And American Elitists To Judge How Women Are Treated Under Sharia. I'm Going Too Long On All This, But I Choke Up On The President's Legacy Of Reaching Out To The Muslim World. It's An Emotional Thing.

This Attitude Of How Society Views Women As Chattel - That's The Biggest Thing To Overcome. When I First Started A Stake In The Issue Of Relationship Abuse, I Got Really Beat Up By The Christian Right Because I Was Interfering In What Was A Personal Family Affair. It's A "family Matter." That's Why I Wish We'd Drop The Phrase "domestic Violence." It Sounds Like A Domesticated Cat. It Is The Most Vicious Of All Crimes - To Be Abused By Someone You Had A Relationship With! Because Then You Blame Yourself.
