Politics got personal on Wednesday when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen accused Mitt Romney's wife, Ann Romney, of having "never worked a day in her life." It moved Mrs. Romney to send her first tweet ever ("I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work"), setting off a debate over the decision to work or stay home. But The Christian Science Monitor is calling it a "fake" debate.
Ann told Fox News, "[Rosen] should have come to my house when those five boys were causing so much trouble, it wasn’t so easy. My career choice was to be a mother. And I think all of us need to know that we need to respect the choices that women make. Other women make other choices to have a career and raise a family, which I think Hilary Rosen has actually done herself. I respect that, that's wonderful... We have to respect women in all those choices that they make."
But Rosen is sticking to her guns, and responded to the criticism in a CNN editorial: "I have no judgments about women who work outside the home versus women who work in the home raising a family. I admire women who can stay home and raise their kids full time. I even envy them sometimes. It is a wonderful luxury to have the choice. But let's stipulate that it is not a choice that most women have in America today." We're not sure if Hilary Rosen or Ann Romney wins this debate, but that's not really the point. Do you think these kinds of feuds are real -- or just manufactured to get a vote in politics?

Pro-choice ISN'T pro-abortion, m'kay?
THIS I agree with very much. Any woman who uses it as birth control should just have their uterus's revoked... I'm all for using birth control, and I don't really like the idea of abortion... however I feel it's necessary for those circumstances when a woman's raped or birth control fails - I know birth control these days are 85%-95% effective, but unfortunately sometimes they do fail. I'm also completely against late-term abortions - any idiot that waits THAT long to abort doesn't deserve the right when the baby is almost completely developed.
The only reason I support it is as a last-resort/emergency sort of thing. And of course for the safety of women. The thought of USA completely banning abortion truly scares me. It's necessary, however it is not to be abused.
BINGO
Shame..
So she should be forced to carry what isn't hers?
GROW UP.
Disgusting
oh, its real... and it will get worse if we don't stop it.
And it will get REALLY bad if a republican gets the white house!
you realize atheism is not a religion, right?
re•li•gion- 1.The belief as taught or discussed
a•the•ism- The belief that God or gods exist
so you're arguing that Atheism, a belief that's taught by Atheists to convert others to their religion, isn't a religion...?
the three letter word you conveniently left out of your definition of religion was a belief in... (wait for it...)
G - O - D
its a short word, so i'm sure you just over looked it....
want she better broaden the base of who she speaks with. GOP senators Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Lisa Murkowski both are critical of the actions of the GOP on defunding Planned Parenthood and the bickering over contraception. Romney should be real concerned since he is losing women independents in the swing states by 19 points.
you make that up all on your own, did ya?
Got milk?
Scott Walker is going to loose his job over it.
