I, too, am ...Hi Mrs. Molder, thanks for commenting! I, too, am so conflicted. We talk about this a lot around here. ;) I also like female doctors/nurses. What about female teachers, whether in Sunday School or in public/private schools? What about women over men at department stores (manager is a woman, clerk is a male)? It seems that we tolerate a lot already and only now are we thinking through this issue, now that a woman seeks one of the highest offices in the land. It doesn't seem so unnatural when we already have Supreme Court justices who are female, a Secretary of State who is female, and senators and governors who are female. Have we been living in blissful apathy or in pointed indifference all these years? It seems like such a confusing issue. I guess my biggest problem at this point is that Sarah Palin has young children who need her. If she were older, with grown children, I don't think I would have as many reservations (beyond the issue of a woman as ruler question), but that she is in the process of raising her children, that seems very different. But, you know, I really, really don't want Obama as president, as I feel that more evil would be caused by his rule than by Sarah Palin's. Will we invite more judgment from having Obama as a ruler, and all the murderous (as a pro-abortion candidate), statist laws he will effect, or from having a woman to rule over us (slightly that is, as McCain is the Presidential nominee). It just seems that we are choosing the lesser of two evils. The hard thing is not knowing what is down the road...<BR/>Thanks for weighing in! :-)Shelbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937601560258272647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22734566.post-82845184099361700312008-09-15T09:29:00.000-05:002008-09-15T09:29:00.000-05:00HiYou are such a great writer.

I love being a stay at home Mom and would like all like all of the nice people that I come in contact with to be able to stay at home like me. I want my daughter and my friends daughters to get married, have kids, stay at home, home school, etc. BUT I want a female OB/Gyn… I want female nurses in the LDR room… I want female nurses checking on my after babies are born… I want female nurses taking care of my babies in the hospital & ICU – I want them to care for my babies with a loving mother heart.<BR/>Then I thought what if there weren’t women in the workforce? Would we have Bath & Body Works? I don’t think that we would ever have had nicely furnished LDR rooms in the hospitals? Where would the knitting and yarn stores be? What about Jo-Ann’s – I don’t think Joe would have a hobby store? I wonder where the makeup industry would be without women’s influence? I need to quit thinking along those lines – I am realizing that I am a BIGGER hypocrite than I thought I was!!!

It takes a lot of time to form educated opinions about politicians. It's difficult figure their true political philosophies and worldviews. So, well done!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544396313933185125noreply@blogger.com
