Women in Sweden got partial voting rights in 1869 and full rights in 1908. Other Scandinavian countries were equally early. Great Britain followed 1928 and so fort. What have you guys been smoking? In Switzerland the women got their voting rights as soon as they (the women) could mount a majority for that. Taro

The USA is pretty backwards in the area of female leadership, when you consider what other country's have achieved. Look at the following facts: terra.es Nearly every other country had a female leader but not the US. The statistics speak loudly for this country. Even Africa is more advanced than the USA in this area: Women Prime Ministers 1945-2005 Sri Lanka three times India twice Israel Central African Republic United Kingdom Portugal Dominica Norway three times Yugoslavia Pakistan Lithuania Bangladesh France Poland Canada Turkey Burundi Rwanda Sri Lanka again Bulgaria Haiti Bangladesh again Guyana New Zealand Lithuania twice Mongolia New Zealand Senegal South Korea Sâo Tomé and Príncipe Finland Peru Mozambique Macedonia twice Ukraine Sâo Tomé and Príncipe Meanwhile, back at the ranch in Calif there is a proposition 73 that would require the medical community to contact a girl's parents if she has an abortion. At my highschool, 100% of all girls that got pregnant during their highschool years had an abusive parent, so this proposition is equivalent to a death sentence for girls. The Republican Party believes living people do not count. Stunning how the USA is heading backwards to the 50s. Regards, Amy J
