1. I'm sorry for you Ann, for many reasons, but I'm still not voting for the vulture you married.

[ann---]

2. Boo hoo

A lot of us women have had miscarriages and some are not successful at having children at all. She had five boys - so I say boo hoo. She had the money for the best medical care. Many of us didn't.

6. I think you'd be hard pressed

Exactly. Miscarriages are extremely common, and she undoubtedly got the finest of care.

This may sound cold, but I don't care what her medical problems are. Millions of people live with something debilitating, myself included. Why is her MS an issue? If her husband becomes pres, (GOD FORBID) he's going to try his best to repeal Obamacare, screwing over millions of people.

In those immortal, no nonsense words, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

14. At least she could afford health care

How many women can't?

15. At least Ann could afford health care

How many women cannot get adequate obstetrics care?

3. After insulting all women, the "sympathy" is an even worse insult.

Get lost, Ann. No one wants your fake sympathy.

[Heather MC]

12. So Ann Romney is a Serial Killer, wow shame on her

[Bluerthanblue]

4. hey ya know Ann...

being rich may help you avoid a lot of things, and may make surviving those things less traumatic and more successful.

Imagine fighting cancer as a low income woman with no insurance, and few social supports. If your experience really was as difficult as you claim, one would think you would want to make sure that others going through this would have the best chance to beat it, and not begrudge them adequate care.

As for the miscarriages, there are millions of us who have coped with that sorrow. Your five sons show that you were more fortunate than most.

Your lack of compassion for others, your perception that you are somehow 'better' than others and above the 'common people' are the places that cause me to feel pity for you. They are the things that earn my my sympathy, because they are the things that cripple you from living your life to its fullest, and achieving your greatest potential. Qualities which cannot be bought, stolen or easily acquired.

5. Why aren't THEY more sympathetic to women, given Ann Romney's woes? nt

[Smilo]

7. So cry me a river Ann

you are not worth any sympathy after the life you have lead and then you have the audacity to say "you people" as if anyone who is not in your bracket is beneath you.

And Ann thanks for telling us that you can not really communicate with your husband, or is it that you were too scared to wake him and tell him you had a miscarriage?

[beac]

16. And by waiting 2-3 hours to go to the hospital, was

she covering something up? The uterus police in her party would certainly think so. Why didn't she go right away? Shouldn't she have to be interrogated by Fetus Defense Squad investigators to PROVE she miscarried spontaneously?


Sorry Ann, but your having had a miscarriage does not make you or your husband even a sliver more likable. It does bring even more focus to the horrific invasions of privacy that your party wants to legislate, so thanks for that!

8. Maybe I'm odd duck out here, but

I fail to see what miscarriages and breast cancer have to do with this campaign.

Life is tough, that's a fact, and at some point we're ALL hit with hardship and unpleasantness.

I'm a hell of a lot more concerned with how her husband and his misogynist sidekick want to take women back to the sixteenth century, and the devastating fiscal policies they have lined up.

9. If the Republican party had its way...

...she would have been subjected to questioning about those abor... er, miscarriages. What did she do to cause them? Maybe all that horse riding endangered those fetuses. Maybe she should have stayed inside and rested and taken care of herself (i.e. her uterus, since that is the only part of her that counts) as befits her role as brood mare, instead of taking part in dangerous recreational activities.

I myself do not subscribe to that notion. But her party certainly does. There are cases right now where young women have been charged with trying to self-abort because they had accidents that resulted in miscarriages. What does (wannabe) Queen Ann think of that?

In discussions of reproductive issues, the Republicans give consideration first to the fetus, second to the father (even if he is a rapist and that is how the child was conceived), and nothing, nada, zero, zilch to the woman or girl who is pregnant. This seems contrary to the notion of equal protection under the law. But it is par for the course for these troglodytes. To them, females are non-persons who were never intended to be considered separately under the law.

10. Ann Romney is one of the most unlikeable women out there

since Babs "beautiful mind" Bush.

[Myrina]

11. Aren't miscarriages (the GOP version of) God/Ayn Rand's way of saying ...

... we don't need more of YOU?

Maybe it was a HINT, Ann.

[SheilaT]

13. So she's the only woman in this country

to have had miscarriages and breast cancer? Oh, gosh, how phenomenally unfortunate she is.

In reality, it's probably that nearly fifty percent of all conceptions are spontaneously aborted.

[Whisp]

17. and all those troubles that 'us people' have to endure

without the support of a bottomless pot of money like you, Ann.


fuck off.
