Let's just ignore the rest of the world's women and focus on abortion and birth control in the U.S.A.!

Absolutely Sickening

Come on Dell, we are big boys and girls here, we can look at more than one issue or set of circumstances at a time. If I ruled the world, every woman in every nation would have equal rights and these criminal acts would be a thing of the past...but I don't! All I can do, all any of us can do is speak out against them, but that doesn't mean we must be silent about other issues.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one doing so. Certainly a government that gives financial support in the billions per year isn't doing any speaking out.

We currently have a President who praises the great accomplishments of the muslim world yet ignores the mistreatment, actually supports the mistreatment of their women by continuing to let the money train run.

We can and certainly should do much more!

I agree completely and the fact that both parties lack the political and moral will to do so is shameful.
