There is no “War on Women”. Obama and his cronies made up this term to make women like yourself fearful of Romney. It looks like it worked.

If you look at Romney’s record, it is obvious that he cares about women’s issues and has worked to advance women’s interests while in office. If anything, his positions have been too liberal for most social conservatives to stomach.

Let’s look at your fears:

“Romney has threatened to defund Planned Parenthood.” Even if he manages to do that, does that make abortion illegal? No. Does it make it impossible to get? No. All that would do is force a partisan organization with roots in eugenics go looking for funding on its own, rather than forcing taxpayers to foot the bill.

“He doesn’t believe insurance should have to cover contraception.” Neither do I. There are very few things that I believe insurance should be forced to cover (mostly just what they say they will cover in their insurance agreement). Insurance should have the option of covering any range of services from basic, life-prolonging operations to full coverage of every medical treatment available. You, the consumer, should be able to choose which plan you would like. If you want one that covers contraception, then buy it. But don’t use the power of the Federal Government, and the implied threat of force that goes with it, to require every person who wants health insurance to buy the services that you think are worthwhile.

“The Supreme Court Justices he appoints could set up this country to overturn Roe v. Wade.” That is a fear that has been expressed at every election since the Roe v. Wade decision was made. So far it has not materialized. Even if Roe v. Wade was overturned, that wouldn’t make abortion illegal. It would just mean that the issue would be up for debate, rather than being stonewalled by judicial decree. Given the outcry that would come from women everywhere if abortion were again mad illegal, it is certain that such an act would result in a crushing electoral defeat by the party that pushed through such an act.

This election is about the economy and about the role of government in our lives. Obama can’t defend himself on either front, so he has created a “women’s issues” bogeyman to make people fearful of his opponent. Don’t fall for it. You’re smarter than that. If you decide not to vote for Romney, make that decision based on sound facts and reasoning, not based on the foundationless accusations of his opponent.

As for his ring, the only ring I see on his finger in photos and videos is his wedding. Do you have evidence that this ring has Arabic writing inscribed on it? I also cannot find any reputable sites saying that he said that the Muslim call to prayer is the sweetest sound in the world. A lot of blogs and conspiracy theorist sites, but no reputable news sites. I’d love for you to link the evidence to this so I can look into it further.

Obama is not a Muslim. However, I would personally be fine with it if he or any other US politician were. Islam is a peace-loving religion, much like Christianity. Are there followers who go against their religion and commit evil acts? Yes. That’s true of all religions. Perhaps you should consider reading the Koran and learning more about what the religion is all about.

To me, Romney and the people who fund him, represent a clear and present danger to women’s rights. This is much scarier than your theory about Obama. Romney has threatened to defund Planned Parenthood, he doesn’t believe insurance should have to cover contraception, and the Supreme Court Justices he appoints could set up this country to overturn Roe v. Wade. Many Republicans have recently said horrifying things about rape being “another form of contraception” and pregnancies from rape are “God intended” and even that “legitimate rape” does not cause pregnancy. There is an assault on women and their healthcare choices right now and anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand. 11- and 12-year-old girls in Mexico are being denied abortions and forced to give birth because they couldn’t prove their rape. That is NOT what I want this country to be. You speak of shari’a law and say my daughter won’t have freedoms under the Obama administration. If the current Republican agenda is pushed through, then she definitely won’t have them. The right to make choices for your own body should be an inalienable right.

There are plenty of feminist gun-owners out there (Massad Ayoob included). Let’s stand up together and fight! Gary Johnson represents the true Libertarian ideal that the Republican party once stood for.

He has been wearing that ring since his college days.

He says that the Muslim call to prayer is the “sweetest sound in the world”.

Sounds like a Muslim to me.

Incidentially, my ancesters came from the part of the world that is now Lebanon, and Syria.
