I haven't really been paying any attention to the US election, mostly because I've been stressing about other stuff, so I can't really comment on her policies.
You cannot underrate the power of repressed and concealed guilt feelings, crawling under the skin of all the career women who got rid of unwanted babies in order to please bosses and boyfriends, and indeed among all the men who were complicit in their crimes or even demanded them; when faced with a brilliantly successful career woman who not only had five children, but opted against aborting even the disabled one.
I do admire the fact she chose to have children and have a career. This is good. But I do think it's a bit unfair to paint every single career woman without children with the same brush. I'm completely for choice. She chose to do this, and it's damn good that she got so far! From the little I know of her policies, I wouldn't vote for her (even if I were in the US), but this doesn't stop me from respecting that she both has children and a career. I figure that is women want children and a career, they should have all the opportunities in the world to succeed at both.
You know my opinion on abortion and how I believe it's mostly the woman's choice. There may be some coercion but there's some coercion in all of our daily decisions. This includes if somebody chooses to keep the baby. If men had babies, then there would be some coercion from women in whether they choose to keep or abort it.
As for selfishness. I'm not saying that it is true for every woman who chooses to have an abortion, but if, for argument's sake we say it is true. Would you want somebody that selfish keeping a child? Children need to come first in somebody's life, therefore, if somebody doesn't think they can do that, then I think it's the right decision that they don't have the child.
