One day after an election that proved the rights of women are not to be trifled with...

[WilliamPitt]

...I find out that we are having a daughter.

To all of you who voted to preserve and defend those rights for my little girl, thank you from my soul.

10. Congratulations!

Many men can't wait to have a son only to find out that their daughters are so very special to them. Be prepared to lose your heart.

I'm so proud of the young women who turned out to vote. There were times they didn't appear to be all that interested in women's rights but they came through. This "mature" woman is happy!

DU will be ready to celebrate with you when your precious daughter is born.

BHN

On edit: I voted for MY daughter too, Will- she will be 26 this year, is bipolar and thank
the universe for the Affordable Care Act as medications and doctors are very expensive
and I don't want her living in a country that takes her reproductive rights and access to
Planned Parenthood away...BTW, don't blink, your daughter will be a young adult before you know it!
Let the laundry and dishes sit, take her to the park instead, while you can.

[WilliamPitt]

Congratulations to Will!



We just sent our twins off to college.

Congratulations!

[TwilightGardener]

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Keep writing for now, Will,

because once she gets here you are going to be nothing but a smiling, walking puddle of goo for a while. As it should be.

Congratulations!!

[The Doctor.]

22. Good luck to you, Sir.

[gottavote]

49. Hey like for the next 100 years.......:)

[MrYikes]

24. Go ahead

and buy her a softball, soccer ball, tennis racket, basketball, volleyball and a whole bunch of hair barrettes. And right now pick a day for her to sit outside to make mud patties.

[Ikonoklast]

70. I second this sentiment. My baby girl was a four-sport athlete, and played varsity on three

teams as a high-school freshman.

A full ride for playing fast-pitch put her through college.

She's a fierce competitor, and the best athlete of my three children.

[nadinbrzezinski]

That was my daughter's due date....she was born 19 days after the due date. Turns out that first pregnancies average 2 weeks longer than other gestations for humans. So, good luck to all of you and enjoy the process!

[Lugnut]

Little girls are such fun.

[hifiguy]

50. Congrats, Will!

[Heathen57]

51. Here's hoping that she will

grow up with all the rights that she and all other women deserve. My own daughter is now an adult so I was worried she would lose all the rights that have been fought for.

Congrats to you and your wife

[gademocrat7]

72. Congrats, Mr.Pitt

[librechik]

73. best wishes, papa!

[maindawg]

74. not really

I was disappointed that so many women did vote for mittens. I mean it was like a 60 / 40 split. That means fully 40 % of American women must actually believe they are inferior to men. That, or they obviously are since they have no self respect. That is discouraging. That shows me there is much work to do. These women must be educated, they must be helped. That is like , 30 million women and thats just the voting women, Think of how many women suffer the fate of being the inferior partner or just suffer the complex alone? Its a freaking epidemic.

This whole issue is about equal rights. Its not about gay marriage, its not about abortion.its not about equal pay either. we must stop allowing the rethugs to frame this debate. IT IS ABOUT EQUAL RIGHTS.

basic human rights. The rights guaranteed in the law of this land

[valerief]

75. Great news! You might want to consider Baracka as a name. nt

[atreides1]

76. Congrats

But I have two daughters and seven grand daughters that I was thinking about.

[nradisic]

77. I have triplet daughters!

God Bless man...a little girl...

[ailsagirl]

79. So-o-o happy for you and your wife! Thanks for sharing

[defacto7]

80. Never miss a day,

and never get out of the habit of giving your child a hug. Every single day. Even when they are a teenager and they are bored as hell of it, do it anyway. They will always remember and always know you are there for them. It will return to you.

[tpsbmam]

81. Awwwww, congratulations!

This fellow MSer wishes your wife good health throughout her pregnancy!

I think we preserved and defended rights for your whole family, which means mine as well! I don't have kids but I absolutely was thinking about all of the little ones I love and your daughter's generation when I fought to get our President & Dems elected!

[aggiesal]

82. That truely is the best news every ...

Congratulations!!!

Hope by the time she gets to vote, it's not for the same women issues!

[Native]

83. Daughters are the absolute best - and I speak from experience. Nothing will ever match the love you

will feel for your daughter. And remember, it's only a lease. You'll have her for maybe 18 years, which in a lifetime is just a blink of an eye. Cherish each moment & record each moment because they will be gone before you know it. Never forget that she is and will always be her own person - you've just been given the exceptional opportunity to guide her on her way to adulthood. All my best~Cindy

[RainDog]

84. Congrats!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Raven]

85. You are toast. n/t

[renegade000]

86. Congratulations!

[liberal_at_heart]

87. congratulations

I think this last year a lot of young women woke up to the fact that their rights should not be taken for granted. Women must always be on the ready to fight for what others are willing to try and take away if allowed.

[trof]

88. You poor bastard. Welcome to the DODs.

Dads Of Daughters

I'm one.

You'll view every male over the age of 10 who ventures near her with suspicion.
But it's not all bad.

She married her high school sweetheart.
But not until they were in their mid 20s.

I liked him from the get go.
And now we have a grandson (10) and a granddaughter (5).
Life is good.

[siligut]

89. And we can't wait to be crushed with baby-girl cuteness

The children are our future, the least we can do is try make it as bright and smart as possible.

[Jack Rabbit]

90. Congrtulations, Will

[Burma Jones]

92. Congrats

As a Father of two daughters I say welcome to the club.......

[Honeycombe8]

[cally]

96. congratulations

[Zorra]

97. Congratulations, Will.

I hope the statement made in this election permanently ensures that your daughter's rights are maintained and increased every day of her life.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

100. Congratulations, William Pitt!

[susanna]

101. I will fight for and defend those rights until the end of my life.

I will do everything that I can so that your daughter - and all daughters born - have what I was blessed with by those who fought so hard before me. Just paying it forward.

Many, many congratulations to you on your wonderful news!

[tavalon]

102. In the old days, I would caution parents that it might just be a shy boy

But that was 20 years ago and the sonogram machines are so, so much better, the only way not to know the sex is to look away and to ask not to be told. They are that good now. congrats to you and your wife.

[WilliamPitt]

103. Thanks, everyone.

[Raster]

104. Ah, Congratulations!

Hopefully your daughter will grow up in a world where she has Equal Rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, where your daughter is guaranteed to make equal pay for equal work and guaranteed to have COMPLETE control of her body, her heath and her reproductive freedom.

Here's to a United States of America where there are NO second class citizens. Where all citizens are truly judged by the actions and the content of the characters, and NOT by their color, creed, sexual identity or gender.

Here's to a United States of America where PEOPLE are persons, and corporate entities are legal entities specified on paper with none of the rights accorded to living, breathing people.

Here's to a United States of America where EVERY little girl and boy can grow up thinking they can one day be the President of the United States of America.
