[ - ] "She is winning the general election today and he is not, according to all the evidence," Clinton said. "And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running. Her only position was, "Look, if I lose I'll be a good team player. We will all try to win but let's let everybody vote and count every vote.'" 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Clinton also strongly criticized the media, saying that ever since Iowa they have been against his wife, making him feel as though he was living in a "fun house." As he concluded his thoughts on how this election has been handled, he again went back to the media's choice of coverage. "If you notice, there hasn't been a lot of publicity on these polls I just told you about," Clinton said. "It is the first time you've heard it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think? Don't you think if the polls were the reverse and he was winning the electoral college against Sen. McCain and Hillary was losing it, it would be blasted on every television station? You would know it wouldn't you? It wouldn't be a little secret. And there is another Electoral College poll that I saw yesterday had her over 300 electoral votes, yeah. She will win the general election is you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't." [ Reply | More

I made that decision when I was in college (18 yrs old). I had no hesitation about it being the right decision for me at the time. I do think about it. I have a 4 yo and 2 yo now and if I had had that child, they would be almost 16 yo now. I had a hard time dealing with the circumstances surrounding the whole situation for a long time but I still don't regret my choice. I hope my daughters are never in the same situation but I would want them to be able to choose what was best for them at the time. [ Reply | More

I am absolutely not condemning anyone for having a c-section or even questioning the right to elective c-section. I just do wonder - if these are 'medically necessary' (as so many doctors claim the vast majority of c-sections are), what makes them necessary for so many more American women than women in the Netherlands or France or Finland.

My OB induced me for what he felt to be "medically valid" reasons. I was pretty certain the induction wouldn't work b/c it was my first db, I had absolutely no dilation going on. According the literature, my chances of ending up with a c-section under those circumstances were over 50%. He was supportive of my tring vbac for second db but she was breech and with the previous c-section my options were limited so elected for a c-section that time too. Oh well. I just focus on the fact that my dbs were delivered safe and sound and I was healthy too. [ Reply | More
