Romney would drag women back decades

After watching the vice presidential debate I, as a female, could never vote for Romney/Ryan. It scares me that Romney could appoint two Supreme Court justices. If he did I have no doubt that Roe v. Wade would be overturned. Ryan said that he believes that issue should be decided by elected officials, not the courts. So it is OK for them to get into my bedroom and my body but not to support health care? They would set women's rights back decades. What is next, taking away our right to vote?

Romney may have been a good businessman in that he made money. But at what cost? He would take over a company, keep the cream and dump the milk down the drain or overseas.

I get Social Security and am part of that 47 percent. I won't be voting for Romney. Biden, a practicing Catholic who personally believes life begins at conception, doesn't feel he has the right to tell women what to do. The only birth control that is 100 percent effective is abstinence, so even if you do use some form of birth control, unwanted pregnancies do happen. If men could get pregnant abortion would be part of the Bill of Rights!
