Women are more than their reproductive parts

Of course they are. He's also going to make sure they get the hours at work they need so they can work a full time job as well as get home in time to cook dinner for their husbands and raise their families (his words, paraphrased). Welcome to the 1950s. Bring your husband his slippers and a drink then go make him dinner.

Romney's said repeatedly he's not going to ban abortion

What hasn't Romney said? I don't think that man could tell a truth if you paid him. It's not clear yet that he'll say anything? That the moderator of a debate had to call him out on a lie? That he lies in television ads? That the man he picked as his VP lies endlessly as well? I wouldn't trust Romney if he said the sky was blue. I'm sad and amazed that anyone would. (Seriously. He lied in a TV ad about car companies, and the major car companies put out a press release calling him on the lie. Did you miss that? Couple days ago? Has a company EVER done that before in such a high profile way?)

Not to mention, speaking of his VP, the man who is against abortion even in the case of rape. Way for Romney to show he's pro-choice, by picking a man so violently anti-choice.

to have at least 50% of his staff be women

Binders of women, right? A study by the University of Massachusetts and the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy shows that the percentage of women in senior positions during his tenure actually declined. It went from 30% when Romney took office to 27% when he left and up to more than 33% after the new governor took over. (http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/17/opinion/cardona-binders-women/index.html)

No one is going to tell you you can't vote, do business, get equal pay, etc.

No, they're just going to tell me I what I can and can't do with my body.

Do you not see how he's hurting families? "Traditional" families are not the only families out there. "One man and one women" BS.

Gods above, I can't believe I'm ... I just can't. If you can't see how this man will hurt people, hurt the country, hurt the world, hurt ME personally, then there's nothing I can say that will convince you. I'm not interested in debating it.
