Manjari, you know I got your back!

Feel free to add on to the list above, there are so many double standards on this subject!

What if Barack Obama called his wife the "c" word?

Something to think about:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three-month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama had finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain had graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?

(The Keating Five were United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s: our first huge corporate bailout ... in recent history, that is.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama was the one known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?

What if Michelle Obama's father was a convicted felon?

What if it was rumored that Michelle Obama secretly disposed of documentation pertaining to her husband's involvement in Keating 5?

What if Obama's Presidential Transition Team Leader was William Timmons, a former lobbyist that lobbied on behalf of Suddam Hussein?

What if Joe Biden's wife was a member of a group that wanted to secede from the USA?

Jessica, I know this is shocking info, but maternity care? Is DIRECTLY RELEVANT to a parenting website. Just because the news is bad for your candidate is no reason why the reason of us shouldn't discuss it here.

And no, Obama is not in favor of "live-birth" abortion. Don't ANY of you neocons do any research? At all? Ever?

Jessica, Please!? Anti-Abortionist are willfully misinterpreting Obama's voting history on this subject! The protection of those "born alive" was already in place in Illinois, that is why Obama voted against the bill to avoid redundancy! No one that voted against SB-1082 favored infancide, however, the bill had an unintended impact on other laws in Illinois. As well, the Illinois Medical Society was against this bill!

The fact remains that if one is Pro Choice, that does not mean they are Pro Abortion! You can be Pro Life and still feel that every woman should make her own choice.

Not to mention all these, anti abortion believers run around screaming about women murdering their fetus' yet these same people typically support the death penalty and going to war where thousands of innocent lives are lost. So, where do you cross the line?

This is my first time visiting babble.com and I was pretty much impressed until I got to this article with the comments left so far. This is supposed to be a parenting website... so all you parents out there, did you know Obama is in support of live-birth abortions?? That's more disturbing than anything.

Ah, but Laura, that's the beauty of it - under McCain, no woman will be able to make that choice, even if being or staying pregnant will kill her! It's win-win - McCain gets to reduce the female population, too!

And the scariest part of all - most of these individual insurance plans don't cover maternity care. I went to an online calculator and got some numbers for myself (in Ohio) - I can get a high deductible plan that covers basic care but no maternity for ~$80/month. The only available plan that included maternity (Kaiser) was $179/month for a 25 year old woman with no pre-existing conditions. Similar plans for men ran from $60-$90/month.

I guess McCain didn't think about how many women will be choosing abortion because they won't be able to afford the $8000-$13000 charges to deliver a baby.
