Albright, Clinton, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi are Anti-Women's Freedoms

by Socialist Feminist
War Criminal Clinton's Sec of State Albright, US Senators Clinton, Feinstein & Boxer and Rep Pelosi are proud Democrats who support the war in Iraq, the war against Palestinians, the death penalty and the "Patriot" Act and thus are incapable of guaranteeing our right to abortion and should not have been invited to speak at the 4/25/04 March on Washington for abortion.

In case anyone forgot, it was Albright who made the infamous statement in a TV interview that she thought the price (of obaining oil) was worth it to murder the people of Iraq with 12 years of sanctions, the first Persian Gulf Massacre in which depleted uranium was used, and constant bombings of Iraq during those 12 years. Hitler would have been proud of Albright.

Hillary Clinton, currently Senator from New York, and wife of the infamous war criminal former Pres Bill Clinton, who perpetrated most of the 12 years of sanctions and the constant bombings of Iraq as well as the bombing of Yugoslavia with depleted uranium and who perpetrated the repeal of welfare, increased federal laws for the death penalty and banned gay marriage, has recently proclaimed her support, along with the Democrats' despicable presidential candidate, John Kerry, for MORE troops in Iraq, about 25,000 more. She too voted for everything Bush asked for, and is a staunch supporter of the murder of the Palestinians, as is John Kerry.

Senators Feinstein and Boxer, California's death penalty duo, hold all the same positions as Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. Feinstein's latest call for a barbaric death penalty lynch mob in the form of the armed San Francisco police to usurp the civil authority of an elected district attorney who ran on an anti-death penalty platform for office, as did her 2 opponents, was not condemned by any of the other Democrats named in this article.

Nancy Pelosi, who represents most of San Francisco in Congress, has also voted for everything Bush asked for, is a staunch supporter of the murder of the Palestinians, and announced that she stands "shoulder to shoulder" with Bush in his blood for oil war in Iraq.

In case anyone is unaware, supporting the US military base called the Zionist state of Israel is a fundamental condition for all Democrats and all Republicans if they are supported by their worthless, reactionary parties. Israel is just a part of the US war machine; it is the anti-Semitic US capitalist class that tells Israel what to do, including murdering the Palestinians and stealing their land.

These people are incapable of leading a horse out of a barn, much less a serious fight to defend our right to a safe and legal abortion, guaranteed by Roe v. Wade.

In fact, the majority opinion in that 1973 decision was written by a Nixon appointee, Justice Blackman, and a Kennedy appointee, Justice White, dissented. Further, it was the fascist Republican Ronald Reagan, as governor of California, who signed California's liberal abortion law. All of this occurred not because of any party registration but because we had a mass movement.

The Democratic Party is the graveyard of all political movements and should be avoided, along with its twin, the reactionary Republican Party.

I endured a 2.5 hour harangue before changing stations from various women on the Pacifica broadcast of the 4/25/04 March for Abortion on how reactionary the older pro-abortion groups are because they were made up of lots of women who are over 50 and white. I do not know if this is true, but that was their statement. I would like to know if these women support the above despicable politicians and their reactionary party, the Democrats. If so, then they are no different from the middle-aged white women they condemn.

This middle-aged workingclass white woman is a proud supporter of our right to free abortion on demand regardless of age, ability to pay, marital status, length of pregnancy or any other condition and I always vote socialist because only a socialist society, where the profit motive does not exist, can guarantee our right to abortion, medical care and all other needs, free of charge. So long as capitalism exists, we will have wars because it is the profit motive that drives them and wars take money from all our social needs. If you vote for Democrats, you vote for war, which means you vote for cutbacks in women's healthcare services. It is as plain and simple as that. You cannot have guns and butter.

Our demand must be: We support our right to free abortion on demand with No restrictions, No concessions and No apologies. Further, we must demand a public health clinic in every county that provides free abortion services at all stages of pregnancy to any women of any age who wants one. We must also demand that all obstetricians-gynecologists must know how to perform abortions at all stages of pregnancy in order to obtain their license as OB-GYN doctors. Finally, we must demand that any hospital in the US that refuses to perform abortions turn their facilities over to the state as using religion as an excuse to circumvent the law must not be allowed. Our right to abortion must prevail.
