After reading Linda White's recent column about President Obama, I thought I was reading an Internet screed.

I am a proud Democrat, and am deeply offended. Ms. White is obviously ultra-conservative and is entitled to say whatever she pleases. I, however, am also entitled to say I believe her piece was not well-reasoned but highly emotional. I believe any woman who believes her rights are not in jeopardy if Mitt Romney is elected is not paying attention.

Is Ms. White a pro-lifer or pro-birther? In other words, once the child is born, does she feel any responsibility to make sure that child is fed, educated, and nurtured? Or, like the rest of the 47 percent, does that child not matter once it's born?
