Speier Criticizes Conservatives For Failing To Empathize With Women<\/a> &#8211; &#8220;Speier\u2019s courageous revelation shines in stark contrast to members like Smith \u2014 who introduced the bill redefining rape \u2014 and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) who cavalierly detail abortion procedures without any real knowledge of the deeply emotional and physical pain inherent in such a private decision. The difficulty and danger in bringing a child to bear, and the heart-wrenching decision not to, comes with the territory of being a woman. As Speier so eloquently proves, such a responsibility deserves respect, understanding, and above all, privacy.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/Three-starDavesSharedItemsInGoogleReader\/~3\/31FRnV-BmRw\/\">Let Go<\/a> &#8211; HA!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/Three-starDavesSharedItemsInGoogleReader\/~3\/uUcjxSzB070\/dropbox-on-quora.html\">Dropbox on Quora &#8211; Grasping Reality with a Sharp Beak<\/a> &#8211; &#8220;They just want a folder.
