Some of you have been following our daughter Daena’s fledgling career move to DC earlier this summer. She just called and is in an AP photo bidding farewell to Karl Rove about an hour ago. She’s in the lower right hand corner, above the two little American flags:

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
One of four remaining clinics that provide abortions in Kansas has closed amid a hostile political climate and financial challenges.
Its outgoing manager said Monday the decision was also prompted by a “lack of gratitude” from a young generation of women who take its abortion services for granted.

Sure, a woman’s main concern on a day-to-day basis may not be abortion rights. Her main concern may be basic healthcare for herself and her kids, or something else. But she has the luxury of abortion rights not being her main concern because it’s been an absolute guaranteed right in this country for 40 years. That means every woman in this country under the age of 40 never had to worry about getting an illegal, unsafe abortion….
That’s a long time to get lulled into a sense of security that that right is never going away — and therefore we don’t need to make its protection a priority….

She’s gorgeous. She looks just like you.
She’s very pretty! You must be very proud. [Not going to talk about my loathing for Rove. No politics!]
I see her!
I second PIP’s post, she is very pretty, and I won’t let my dislike for Karl Rove overshadow that!
Good grief – Karl Rove….
But your daughter is indeed very pretty.
Doug
My, my, I’m proud of you, PIP and JK. Thanks for letting me share and enjoy my daughter’s fun moment in political peace…
And thanks for your kind words, all.
No problem, Jill
I have occasionally been seen on national television at college basketball games and my mom will call me and say “Hey I saw you on TV!”
wow, that’s neat Jill.
I like Karl Rove too, a great advisor to the president. He will be missed. The MSM was never fair to him.
A very lovely young woman. I bet you miss her!
leave it to Jasper to pollute an otherwise fine thread.
Jill, I’m glad your daughter is getting the chance to see inside Washington. It’s a wonderful experience. During the Clinton administration, my daughters and I had the wonderful opportunity to have a private tour of the West Wing (not by the President unfortunately) and I still treasure a photo I took of my oldest at the podium in the Press Rooom pretending to brief the press.
So, when can we expect Ms. Stanek to run for office?
Aw, Andrew. We have yet to see whether that’s something that interests her. Right now she’s looking at continuing her education, but she’s not sure in what area.
Go Daena!!
I’m reminded of Belinda Carlyle, of the Go-Go’s.
Doug
On second though, more like Belinda Carlisle, of the Go-Go’s.
I had even looked it up before the previous post… sigh.
