So, McCain has chosen a pro-life mom of five to be his VP. I'm not sure how this sits with me yet. On the one hand, I'm excited that he chose someone who is pro-life not just in record, but in application. She chose not to abort a down syndrome baby earlier this year. I also dig that a 'larger' family is in the news without being slammed for having more than two kids.
However, my real big hangup is that this woman belongs at home. She has a young child to care for, and by putting her in office I will feel like I am condoning her choice to stick her baby in daycare (or nanny-care). I'm not comfortable with that.
And the vote this November gets even more sticky. Thankfully, I don't have to make a decision. In the end, I will vote for whomever my husband feels is the best candidate. And no, I don't have a problem with that. I don't care how hard women worked to get the right to vote, I'm not going to vote against my husband. In the end I tend to agree with the oldschool concept of giving the heads of households the right to vote.
But that's just me being old fashioned... :) |
It's going to be interesting reading what many of my blog-friends feel about this issue...
