First Lady Michelle Obama is thankful for her life. At the More magazine Impact Awards at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., the first lady credits her good life--and independence--to education.
"Growing up -- and I remind these girls all the time -- I wasn’t any smarter, I wasn’t more talented than they are. But instead of having to work to support my family, or being married off to a grown man and forced to bear children before I was ready, I got to go to school so I could support myself, so I could make my own choices about my body and my life," the president's wife told the crowd at the award ceremony.
"And none of us would ever accept anything less for our own daughters and granddaughters. We wouldn’t tolerate it. We would never accept a life of dependence and abuse for our girls. We would never allow their bodies to be violated or their potential to be squandered. So we have to ask ourselves, why would we accept this fate for any girl on this planet?

But we'll shove birth control down their little throats while ignore studies indicating the pill reduces bone mass.

Moochelle’s third child was probably to be a boy and that is why BO sees the child in every Tom, Dick and Harry (AKA Travon Martin)

...or being married off to a grown man and forced to bear children before I was ready... One could ALMOST interpret that as a criticism of her husband's religion.

What the hell is she talking about? Did family belong to one of those sects that broke away from the Mormons or something?
