Why I Choose to be a Democrat
There are so many reasons I choose to be a Democrat but I must say that I was galvanized to write about my choice by a recent letter to the editor of The Greenville News. Franklin B. Robertson seeks the moral high ground by using Roe v. Wade as an example of the GOP’s ongoing battle against good and evil. Mr. Robertson and his Grand Ole Party want to save all the endangered fetuses so that in his words they can “run, jump, play and laugh.” Oh and also go on to “attend college, get married, and enjoy Christmas morning, Easter morning and their birthdays.” It’s not clear if Mr. Robertson or the Republican Party plan to adopt each of these fetuses after overturning Roe v. Wade convert them to Christianity, pay for their college education, health care and ensure their happy futures and as he puts in “protect them from evil.” Since the vast majority of the crisis pregnancies that end in abortion are among poor, uninsured single women, the foundation of much of Mr. Robertson’s premise is clearly a fantasy that lives inside many of the Grand Old Party’s middle class Christian minds. The one where everyone is insured, Christian, college educated a member of a nuclear family and no one has ever been to counseling or endured a major tragedy.

Governor Tightwad's Smoke and Mirror Effect
Do you remember when Governor Mark Sanford ran for Governor of South Carolina the first time around and he became famous for his frugality? He wore the same blue blazer at every function, then insisted on wearing the very same worn out jacket at his inauguration. He and his wife held a down-home, casual, out-door barbeque instead of a formal ball to celebrate his election and they played up his frugal ways whenever possible. Well his obsession with frugality apparently doesn’t extend to the salaries earned by his top aides.
SC Ultra Sound Bill-Chipping Away at Abortion Rights Layer by Layer
No self-respecting woman or man for that matter wants to be viewed as pro-abortion. Not even a militant feminist like me is comfortable speaking out publicly on behalf of women who would chose to abort their fetuses, but the stark reality of life is that every year as many as 20 million women all over the world have unsafe unregulated abortions.
