Superheros, Equal Rights and Women's Health


And now, the superheroes shall comment on the candidates' equal rights and women's health platforms, and give a point for Obama, Romney or Undecided. Once again, some of these statements are direct or expanded quotes. Try to figure out which ones in the comments!



"Women have been very valuable to all of America, through their pluck and their heroism. Giving them and everyone else equal rights is something that should have been accomplished years ago."
Point for: Obama


"Women are being hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We must help them however we can, and voting for Obama will go a long way in helping."
Point for: Obama


"Wow. Romney is being really discriminator towards women and homosexuals. Is that even legal?"
Point for: Obama


Shadowcat
"Having been involved with so many fights for people's rights, and I can tell you Romney that people like you who would deny some people their rights are always on the losing side, especially if I have a say in the matter."
Point for: Obama



"If you have two people with the same skills fighting the same monster, you should be giving them the same pay. Obama sees fit to do that."
Point for: Obama


"Romney's attempt to distance himself from the issue shows that he knows his opinion isn't popular with the public, and for good reason."
Point for: Obama


Spider-Girl  
"Nobody should suffer because we failed to help when we should have. Obama is seeking to help as many as he can."
Point for: Obama


"A great man once said "Men are from Earth, Women are from Earth, Deal with It". I don't think Romney's dealing with it."
Point for: Obama


"President Obama is helping so many people. I want to help him help others."
Point for: Obama

"I've learned the hard way you can't go giving some people special treatment. You have to treat everyone equally, or things will go badly for everyone."
Point for: Obama
Mr. Incredible
"You can't go around denying people rights. Those people will be taken advantage of by others looking to exploit them. I'm glad Obama is fixing this."
Point for: Obama


"We need to be making the effort to reach out to the gay community with understanding and respect after many years of strife and heartbreak. Romney clearly doesn't want to do this."
Point for: Obama


"Obama's legal efforts to end inequality should be celebrated, not repealed."
Point for: Obama


"Discrimination in any form is wrong. People need to look past what's on the outside and see people for who they really are. Romney has basically said he doesn't want to do that."
Point for: Obama


Linda Park-West
"Romney doesn't want to talk about these issues? Then I don't want to talk about him."
Point for: Obama



The Savage Dragon
"Abolishing hate crime task forces and cutting funding to hate crime prevention is a sure way to increase crime. If Romney did that to the whole country, there would be trouble, and I'd bring it right to him."
Point for: Obama


"I don't think Romney knows about all of the services Planned Parenthood provides, and how crucial it is for some people. His ignorance is really starting to show."
Point for: Obama


"Romney's actions are straight up discrimination. One bad lab accident and he could be a supervillian!"
Point for: Obama.


"Would we be having this discussion if we replaced 'women' or 'gay people' with 'blacks'? So then why does Romney want to keep denying people the same rights?"
Point for: Obama


"Helping people shouldn't be about where they were born, who they are or what they wear. It's about what you do, It's about the actions you take. And I think Romney's taking the wrong actions."
Point for: Obama

I don't think anyone is surprised with this one. Romney's refusal to talk about the subject really hurts him. Do any of you agree with the superheroes' comments? If you think any of the heroes have been misrepresented, let me know in the comments!

Tomorrow I'll have an article on Captain America's new position, Sunday with some insight into presidential minds, and then on Monday I'll have a piece on Utilitarianism. If you have any suggests, feel free to post them in the comments.
