After doing a little bit of research, I see that Mitt Romney is not only sexist (yes, this is my strong opion) but he is also pro-life. Meaning that he is against birth control and abortions. Personally, I do not understand how a man, with these views, could try and turn the whole entire country onto his side. Turning on the television the other day, I saw that the state of Missouri has agreed to get rid of medical coverage for birth control, along with Missouri the reporter was saying how he expects a lot of states to also veto president Obama. This is a video with Democratic views:
Another amazing point that was shared in this video was when the woman in green says how Romney has lost so many women's votes, and she does not see how it would be possible for Romney to be elected president.
This is also a great video stating the sexism that Romney and his campaigns national security spokesman.
After watching other videos and reading some articles about this topic, I really hope that none of these acts or laws are passed. Not only for personal reasons, but because of the unfortunate events that happen to people, rapes, mostly.
This specific article quotes an interview with Ann Romney. As people ask her about birth control and the "War on Women," she quickly changes the subject back to jobs and economy.
OBAMA ON BIRTH CONTROL
Questions for class:
What are you views on this topic? What would you do if these health care laws are passed?
Comments:
I know i would be extremely upset if this law got passed, not only for my own needs, but for elderly who would also be effected, of course not for birth control.. but for other prescriptions.
I do not see how Romney could in any way see that not covering birthcontrol would be a good idea for this counrty. Our population is rising and rising, and abortion and birthcontrol somewhate regulate our population. This may be against some peoples religion or beliefs, but what should be understood is that some women are raped, and need abortions. And some women really need the coverage, because as we know everything is expensive. Also some womens birth control prescriptions are very expensive, not only are these birthcontols to prevent pregnancy, but prevent painful uterine and ovarian diseases from developing further. This coverage, and this choice is important to women. And their are ALOT of female voters out there, and i do not see how any women would let him make choices for their own bodies and healthcare.
ReplyDeleteall i have to say is that Romney is a cold hearted, closed minding man that doesn't understand how hard it is out there for your average joe.
ReplyDeleteOk so let me put this out there first! I am pro-choice. Now, I think a lot of how Romney comes across on the issue of abortion and contraceptive are present in his life and most likely how he interprets his religion. He has five kids! Which is almost double the national average and the Mormon religion believes that it is left up to the married couple to decide. So he clearly has decided to be pro-life and can't we respect that? It is clear that if he were to have been elected, the initiative to move towards pro-life would have been rejected
