How was Sarah Palin treated by the liberals, how about her daughter? Dear Hollaback, planned parenthood is a company that can pay for its abortion mill on their own, no need for government funding.

Free birth control is available all over America at health clinic for the poor, and the democrats try to say only Planned Parenthood provides these services, which is a lie.

"Small" and "unimportant" might describe women's issues from the point of view of these GOP males-- Romney, Ryan, and their campaign advisor-- but nearly 40 percent of likely female voters in the USA Today/ Gallup poll of 10/16 said abortion was the most important issue at stake in the election, and one-third considered the ACA's contraceptive mandate to be "extremely important." Politico's poll for the same time frame shows Obama with an 11-point advantage over Romney among likely female voters. Women know which of the men in this campaign have a binder full of BS.

Does he have binders full of women he plans to interview to make his coffee too? Ryan wants to defund Planned Parenthood, he thinks that women who have been attacked and raped should not have the option to have an abortion, he's further to the right that Dick Cheney and George W Bush. If that's not marching backward what is?

Motopac can try changing the definition of "Irish American," but should first research the fate of stipulative definitions. They do not often "take" with the general population. Like African American," Asian American," and Hispanic American," "Irish American" refers not only to ethnic descent and immigrant origins, but also to a cultural sub-group that people affiliate with. In deference to the Irish on IrishCentral, I often use "Irish-descended Americans" to refer to myself and other Americans posting here, but unless that usage catches on generally, American English users will continue to use "Irish American" to refer to second- third-, fourth-generation Americans who conserve their Irish cultural heritage. So I advise Motopac to try to tolerate that usage. Language doesn't always behave the way you want it to because the entire community of language users contributes to *usage*-- i.e., the meanings of words and phrases. Nonetheless, I also see nothing particularly "Irish" about Ryan.

How severely should Paul Ryan be comdemned for voting 60 times in favor of the unborn? Obviously Ryan's position on protecting the youngest of human creatures is very different from that of Obama, who as a state senator voted against a bill that would heve required abortion clinics to attempt to save the life of a baby who survived the abortion procedure.

If Paul Ryan is "simply an American", he doesn't show any of the characteristics of any Native American tribe.

An "Irish American" is a person born in Ireland who becomes an American citizen. Even if his long-dead ancestors came from Ireland, Paul Ryan is simply an American with an Irish surname - no more Irish than say, Eddie Murphy or Mariah Carey.
The same thing applies to Americans of Italian, German, Swedish, French, etc.
