		<description><![CDATA[Abortion. The word ushers tension into any conversation. No matter what I write, someone will be offended. It&#8217;s a sensitive, complicated subject and a tough post.  This election season, I&#8217;ve been surprised by the ease with which some pro-choice women assert they speak for all American women when, in fact, they don&#8217;t.

This morning when I saw him walking the dog, I asked what she thought. He said, “She couldn’t really understand the ins and outs of the conversation. Mostly, she just wondered why &#8230; <a href="http://www.findinguncommonground.com/lisen-when-it-comes-to-the-vice-presidential-debate-are-you-smarter-than-a-fifth-grader/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a classic comic book matchup.  Joe Biden playing the Joker. Rudely interrupting. Flashing a toothy smile. Laughing at the most unprofessional times. Condescendingly referring to Paul Ryan as &#8220;my friend.&#8221; Dude, this is THE vice presidential debate.
