The gender card again...

[catsnknots]

Sorry to interrupt your no politics idea  but I still find the subject important and want to rant... 

How dare Gillard make abortion an election issue... There is no way that is acceptable and to even suggest that the Coalition will remove your right to one is scare mongering to the max. 

In this modern day time it is incredibly important that we don't use these topics to inflame a false war. 

Even if a person in any party did not like the idea of abortion there is no way that they would get the support to make it illegal. Or limit your access to one... or even make you feel bad for having one. 

So if Gillard wants to launch a campaign called "Labor Women for Gillard" then fine... but don't pull out the gender card and make something out of nothing.. 

And personally I find it sexist to have a women's only group calling for women to support Gillard. 

I have two sons and I also want their future to be positive and not forgotten but it seems that this PM only want to think of the future of women.

Yes, I did.

Haven't seen anyone else attacked for posting the same pic in 2 threads so it must be OK.

The function was on March 28.

High-profile Liberal National Party candidate Mal Brough has apologised for a "deeply regrettable, offensive and sexist" menu at one of his fundraisers, which mocked Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s body.

..The menu emerged on Twitter this morning after Ms Gillard was accused of stoking a "false gender war"with her comments over abortion.

Speaking to a fundraising organisation linked to the Labor Party, called Women for Gillard, the PM warned the issue would become the "political plaything of men" if Tony Abbott became prime minister.

This morning Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop called the comments a "crude political ploy from a desperate PM leading a bitterly divided party" and demanded an apology from Ms Gillard.

I would rather a PM who is willing to acknowledge and discuss the gender issue than one who says a bad husband is better than no husband.

The Gender card.... again 

What choice does she have when her small breasts,her thighs and her big read box are served up on a plate and that is seen by some as funny and befitting a Prime Minister of this Country ?and that when people hear about it they laugh and think 'oh someone is in trouble' rather than someone should be in trouble .
