Our Prez on women's rights

[serai]

.

"On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose.

While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue, no matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion, and support women and families in the choices they make. To accomplish these goals, we must work to find common ground to expand access to affordable contraception, accurate health information, and preventative services.

On this anniversary, we must also recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons: the chance to attain a world-class education; to have fulfilling careers in any industry; to be treated fairly and paid equally for their work; and to have no limits on their dreams. That is what I want for women everywhere."


Wow. It's like he actually cares. How...strange. I don't know if my mind can handle it.

heh. I know! What a concept! And he THINKS, too. He THINKS! My good friend S (who doesn't have an LJ) made a really good point under my first post on inauguration day (the public post) about how he thinks about things before he acts. After hte past 8 years, isn't that a concept?

Isn't it disorienting? And he talks in complete sentences! With like, a subject and verb and object! And even occasional predicates!

And thinking! OMG, that is just too weird. I'm getting dizzy. Better go have a little lie-down now.

Well, that part makes me all goosebump-y. Yes, I'm almost afraid he won't be able to do some of the things he promised he would do, and then we would have to think of stopping to believe and admire him.
