Emma Watson has a real degree. She is a lot less likely to hide her academic background for reasons such as Obozo's. I know that Obozo graduated Columbia University with a political science degree but his classmates don't remember him. Thirty years later no one yet knows where he lived as an undergraduate or with whom. His academic records from Occidental College, Columbia and Harvard Law are sealed. He cannot hide the fact that he must be the only editor of the Harvard Law Review never to have published a word therein. Note that Hillary's academic records are a similar state secret.
Obozo has attained the presidency. His nomination and election to the Senate from Illinois is another outrage known to few outside of Illinois. It involves forcing disclosures of the sealed divorce records of his chief Demonrat opponent and of the GOP nominee who resigned his nomination. And yet we are not allowed to take a peak at Obozo's higher education transcripts and he gets away with whateve he pleases by lying his ass off. The ever supine press and Lame Stream Media respond by donning their kneepads.
One young Hollywood actress was Dolores Hart. She made a number of films including two with Elvis Presley and several other more serious films. At 24, she entered the convent and has been a Mother Superior for some years at Bethlehem, Connecticut.
Hey, I didn’t say Obozo’s achievements were legal or good or anything like that... just that they were big achievements. Saul Alinsky would be proud of his young disciple ;)
Given Emma Watson’s background, she may never have ever talked with anyone who is pro-life. The answer to “I should be able to do with my body as I will” is “YOUR body isn’t the one being aborted!” If you want to change someone’s mind, you do not spew venom...and Watson seems to actually HAVE a mind.
She needs someone to ask her “When does life begin? Is it when the child can take care of him or herself? Is it at birth? What about after 8 months in the womb, when the ‘fetus’ is capable of being delivered - alive!? If the ‘fetus’ can be delivered alive instead of aborted, in what sense is it not already another human being?”
There is no reason to suspect Watson doesn’t support abortion rights. However, many women in her position have never even considered what abortion involves. And she was right about some things in her speech - that societies, even ours, often treats women solely as sex objects, and that men are not valued as fathers and that men should have a role in liberating women. She is also correct in admitting that for women in England and the US “as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts” - try getting Obama to admit that truth!
How many lockstep liberals would admit, “I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men.”
Her speech had good points and bad, but it was much better than I would expect from someone brought up in the film industry and liberal colleges. It certainly did not deserve the attacks and vicious name-calling it received here.
