If McCain Could Get Pregnant – Man Boobs and all!
Posted by Michelle Moquin on 16th October 2008
Okay, so McCain’s best line was, ‘If you wanted to run against President bush…blah blah blah.’ Like everyone else, I’ll give him points for that one too but that’s it. That was his only highlight for the evening. Look, Obama wouldn’t keep bringing it up if it wasn’t true – The guy voted 90% with Bush…Don’t tell me it won’t be McSame Same if he’s elected.
All I felt from him was anger and stubbornness, which only evoked my own anger, especially when he called women’s health ‘extreme’. It is obvious that McCain doesn’t seem to understand that women’s health matters. It’s obvious that he doesn’t trust women to decide what is in the best interest of their own health. If I were his wife I would slap him in the face. I’m embarrassed for her.
Okay, so he’s against abortion; a pro lifer – fine. But don’t push your morals and your decisions on me. Don’t start talking like you have any idea what a woman goes through when she becomes pregnant. I was ready to strangle him when he so casually mentioned that ‘we’ll help with the adoption process if you don’t want the child’ or something to that affect. (Not his exact words but you get the picture.) Well what if I just don’t want to be pregnant period? Sorry that I don’t want to carry a child for nine months, just so that you can help me give it away. Sorry, I have a life and maybe I just don’t want to give it up for nine months watching my stomach grow and going through all kinds of emotions that you can never relate to. How easy it is for you to basically say, ‘carry the child and we’ll help with the adoption process’, when you have absolutely no idea what a woman goes through emotionally as well as physically. You make it sound so easy.
Okay, McCain, you carry a baby for nine months that you don’t want. You wake up to morning sickness and tender breasts. You watch parts of your body get fatter than they have ever been. You feel all of your organs pushing up against each other making room for a growing life. You handle all of the mood swings and changes to your body not knowing if you’ll ever lose the added weight. Oh…and don’t forget, you now have man boobs! And an added bonus; they’re filled with milk! You’re craving strange foods and for some reason you just don’t feel as sexy as you used to.
Then at around nine months, you piss in your pants – oops my water broke! It’s delivery time. Legs in the air, you begin to push that baby out of your ass (I’m using this as an example only…you’ll see why shortly) stretching you in ways you didn’t think you could stretch, feeling so much pain that you want to kill, shouting expletives to whoever put you in this position. (And yes women who have chosen to be pregnant by their significant other have felt this way too, so you can imagine the feelings of one who does not choose to be.) Then after hours of agonizing labor, you pop that baby out; have it swept from your arms to never have another thought of it again. Yeah …right. Oh but wait….your asshole has been stretched so much that guess what? You’re shitting in your pants; you have lost control of your bowl movements. Oh…but don’t worry…a little stitch or two will tighten it up in no time and you’ll be back to ‘normal’.
Normal? Forget the fact that you never wanted this little bundle of joy, but that you can’t seem to forget about him or her. Forget that you never wanted this baby but that you bonded with it anyways while it grew inside of you. Forget that as much as you know you made the right decision for you, it still weighs on you heavily and you wonder…
Or….roll back nine months and you get to have that abortion and be done with it. Now, I know that I am making abortion sound simple when it really isn’t. I have had one and I can tell you it was an easy decision for me, although I would never want to have to go through it again. But I am sure for many others, it is difficult. For me carrying a baby that I had no desire to have would be much harder on me, just like for the pro lifers, it would be more difficult to abort than to go through with the pregnancy.
The point is ‘choice’ and having the right to make the best ‘choice’ for yourself. When a woman is ready to have a baby, she is aware and accepts the physical changes and emotional challenges that she will encounter. She has made this ‘choice’. But when a woman does not want a baby, and her ‘choice’ is taken away, she may have physical and emotional baggage, for lack of a better word, that she did not choose to carry. The right to choose is the way to go.
McCain will never get this. Why? Not just because it could never happen to him. But because he has blatantly shown that he has no respect for women, women issues, and women’s health. He just doesn’t care. Period.
Readers: I know this is a sensitive subject. Talk to me ~ blog me.

Hey Beingajoe: I agree with you. I would’ve said a lot more about Palin than Obama did in the debate but then again, I’m not running for president. And I did check out those websites a bit – thanks for forwarding.
Doug: As I have said before so many times to you…Unless people do their homework, they will believe the lies as truth.
Hi Kali: Thank you. Sometimes I have a hard time finding the words too, but then I am practicing every day. :)
Hello Ling: Wow, you are trying to understand how we pick our leader and learning English too. My gut is that you may just know more than the average American.
Beverly: Obviously money doesn’t buy everything. I hear it is just as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor man but I think that is just a line. Money definitely makes life easier, no doubt, but it is the emptiness and lack of connection that I could not live with regardless of whether there is money or not. When times are hard, and money is absent, it is the love and connection that will see you through the hard times. And on the other hand, I have friends who are very wealthy, and very lonely…and very stuck. I hope that you find your true love.
England: I have always wished that we could let go of this party system and get modern. It is an antiquated system and just doesn’t work in my mind. I have always thought that we should vote on the issues and elect a president that will support those issues.
Ireland: I think you answered your own question.
Helena: I think I’ve already said enough on this subject. :)
Hello Zen Lill: Oh…No offense taken, just wanted to add my two and continue the convo. How’s the adrenalin today? Not only do we need to think about bigoted deep pockets, but this new news from Anonz is most disturbing…..
Anonz: Is there nothing you can do to stop this? You obviously have influence. Is there anything that I can do on my blog…or the readers? If people, meaning me and my readers, know about it beforehand, could we not flood the media with our knowledge? Surely, if word got out there who was behind this atrocity, maybe we could prevent it? I know it sounds lofty but it is very difficult hearing this come from you just to sit around waiting till d-day. And if you were to tell us the exact time, date and whereabouts on my blog, how would the government react knowing you have given this information? They are watching my blog.
What position would that put me in knowing that I have this information? Would I be willing to stand up for my country if I knew my actions could save lives and prevent McCain from living in the White House? Yes.
Readers: If Anonz provides us with the exact time, date, and whereabouts of this terrorist act, would you stand up and doing something? This is really something I think we need to think about. I would love to hear from you on this – flood the lines ~ blog me.
OH ZL: I am so sorry…I have been so wrapped up in my own stuff and this darn election that I can not wait to end! I just had to come back and add….Happy Birthday!!
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle
