Why you should vote for Obama/Biden Women's Issues.



  1.  Women's Issues-  The Republican Platform supports a no abortion stance.  That means no abortion in case of rape, incest or the mother's life at stake.
  2. Personhood - The Republicans in the states are pushing for "Personhood" Amendments.  This would outlaw certain types of birth control and in virtro fertilization. Getting an abortion, even some kinds of miscarriages would become criminal offenses putting the mother in jeopardy of going to jail for murder.
  3. Medicare- Although the Medicare Program would remain for people ages 55+; we would be throwing our children under the bus.  Those under 55 would not be able to pay for insurance that would increase yearly in value as they age. Do you know of an insurance company that would insure an eighty-year old woman?
  4. Taxes - President Obama's plan would keep the Bush tax cuts for the first two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars of any income.  After that, the tax rate would go up by only a modest percentage. This would make our tax system more equitable for all.  The most prosperous era in the modern era was in the nineteen fifties and sixties when tax rates were much higher for upper income taxpayers than at the current time.  Higher taxes for the wealthy encourages them to reinvest their money in their businesses and use it as a tax write off they by providing upgrades to aging infrastructure and more American jobs.
  5. Infrastructure - Our roads, bridges and rail lines are becoming unsafe. Fixing the infrastructure would put many of the construction workers that lost there jobs in the housing crash back to work.  
  6. Alternative Energy -  Our power plants need to be upgraded to improve their efficiency. Burning Coal puts carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere which contributes to global warming.  Many of Romney/Ryan's biggest donors in their superpacks are from the Oil and Coal Industry. The Obama administration does not want to outlaw coal, it wants scrubbers and efficient use of coal so we do not further harm the environment.  Also, research into solar panels, wind energy and safe nuclear power would make our country energy independent without further damaging an environment that has brought us severe weather both this past winter and summer. Additionally, Obama fuel efficiency mandates for cars would help the environment plus decrease the number of dollars coming out of our wallets for gas.
In conclusion, President Obama would be much better .for the American Middle Class than Mitt Romney to say nothing about the radical Paul Ryan
