49. I'm comfortable with DK's position
on reproductive rights, despite your rather weak attacks, here and elsewhere. I see them as a rather desperate attempt to distract attention from other candidates' flaws.

I am the 3rd generation of single mothers in my maternal line. I almost lost my mother to an illegal abortion in the early 60's, and I had (a legal) one myself in the 70s. I think I'm well-versed on the issue of reproductive rights, and don't feel like I need your help, thanks.

Kucinich currently has, of course, a 100% approval score from NARAL.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the "feminists for Kucinich" group. :D

You, of course, can make up your own mind about that issue, and I expect you have.

It's not, of course, the issue under discussion here. The issue under discussion here is support for war, in the form of a vote for the IWR, and, specifically in Obama's case, votes to continue the war for funding it.

If you insist on mixing the two, I'll ask this:

How many women did not get the abortion they wanted because of a vote by Kucinich?

How many deaths of Americans in Iraq have occurred since Obama began funding our presence there?

A smart, thinking person doesn't really want to open this can of worms. You might want to consider starting a separate thread to rant about DK's history on reproductive rights, rather than try to connect it to war votes.
