      <![CDATA[The War On Women is a great campaign issue, but the fact remains that women's most dire enemy is poverty and the impact that has on their lives from birth to grave.

      <![CDATA[" For decades, presidents have been emphasizing equal opportunity for blacks as opposed to the loftier goal of equal results."<br>
<br>
