Good for you, Galicia! Hope you and your baby are well...

Hopefully shoe voted for Romney so he child will have a future and freedoms given to us by the constitution since Obama is against the constitution, freedom, and job creation.

This might be an inspiring story if there wasn't such a thing as early voting.

I don't have to tell you who she voted for.

Bet her HUSBAND was very proud of her.

What a great and inspiring story! Hope you and your baby are healthy and happy, Galicia.

sounds like she will be an inspiration to her child. and who cares if she has a husband? get a life. I am voting for romney -- and I would be proud for her to cancel out my vote.

John and Dave M, why are you being so nasty? Just appreciate the fact that she voted. Her vote doesn't say anything about who she voted for or who was available to take her to the hospital. She simply exercised her right to vote and that's the moral of the story.

Dave M: Did you ask where Bristol Palin's hubby was? Ignorant remark.

Dave M: Did you ask where Bristol Palin's hubby was? Ignorant remark.

Bless you Galicia.What an awesome example set for us all.

Great Job!!!!!! Forget about the nuckleheads comments about where the father,they could not tell who their Fathers were .

Wtf?

She's incredible! (I have to go out now, and vote, myself)

My name is Matt!!!!!! Dah dar dar dar dar

John, I hope you vote for Obama and his education agenda. It might help your spelling in the future......

Glad to hear she voted!! Yes, there is such a thing as early voting, but sometimes that too is impossible. I'm 37 and voted for the first time and it felt good!

What an amazing woman!

Good for her excercizing here right to vote. Good for author not mentioning who she voted for (real restraint). My first thought however was why does this poor girl have to drive herself to the hospital?

OK JOHN ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT 100% HUMAN WHY WOULD WE WANT TO BELIEVE IN SOME "GOOD OLE BOY" LOGIC! (ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING)!

Please! Leave all politics and snide remarks about husbands & early voting outta this... and just be happy for her... This is a happy time in her life...Can't you have the courtesy of letting her enjoy what she did!! ??? The story is NOT about YOU!!

You guys are idiots and John you need to learn how to spell she. I guess thats why your voting for someone like Romney. The story was about her and not whether her husband was with her and early voting would have been great option had God given her the precise date and time she would go into labor. Stupid comments because you know like I do that history will repeat. Grace and Peace to Galicia and her newborn daughter.

John, Dave and David, it is people like you that make me sick. What an amazing girl that voting was so important to her that she did it while in labor. Trust me, not one of you wimpy ass men could have done it. You would have been screaming and yelling from the pain like the wimps and narrow minded boys that you are. Can't even give you the courtesy of calling you men. Congratulations to you Galica and your baby. May you have a long and happy life together. Don't let people like those jerks above take away from your brave and important right. Your right to vote and your right to have a baby. Be well

Please! Leave all politics and snide remarks about husbands & early voting outta this... and just be happy for her... This is a happy time in her life...Can't you have the courtesy of letting her enjoy what she did!! ??? The story is NOT about YOU!!

and there are those that are suing because lines are too long. Kudos to you lady!

Early voting. Less drama.

David, maybe she didn't anticipate going into labor so early! And John, I would take your comment more seriously if you weren't so illiterate and knew how to spell.

Galicia God Bless You and Your Baby be in the very best of health. Go,go, Obama

David, not everyone has early voting in their state. If she is having contractions, you don't know how bad they were in previous days. There is always some moron who makes negative comments, on a great story. My goodness! Grow up and get a life.

Good citizen example, hope everything work out great for and the new born baby

great! of the 4 posters at this time, 3 of them are men who are so type-casting. Yeah David, there is early voting, But we don't know why she didn't if her due date was around this time... and we don't know if it was! Stupid remark Dave M.. just stupid. And John-- you're an idiot

What is with you MEN... can you be any more tacky!

I agree with David and Dave. Why didn't she do early voting? And where was hubby? But I hopefully she DID vote for President Obama. One source says that 4.5 million jobs were created under President Obama. Romney, on the other hand, still thinks we're enemies with Russia.

I have admiration for her perserverance. She was determined to vote for the first time, I would rather find a positive side to her events rather than criticize her for whatever choice she made. She upheld her right to have a voice in this nation. God bless you Galicia and your baby. You've set an example of humanity that i feel is worthy to be acknowledge. No matter who wins the election, God is still in control and shall always be. Carole

Obama Care ... I doubt she voted for Romney. Spouse ? Do you need one of those today? Why Work.. when the present, Office of the Presidency shows you don't have too!

Jay Hurt you sound very ignorant !

hey top with the nasty comment. quit being so rude

Texas is Thanking you Galicia for voting.

vanessa get him girl

What a wonderful young lady ! Perhaps her husband or spouse is deployed ? None the less whomever she voted for makes no difference at this point. She voted !
Congratulations on your bundle of joy.....From Canada

Some of you are so Ignorant and sterotypical. Why is it because she is african american and younger age wise her child is automatically a welfare baby? And whose to say she has no husband?? Go ahead and keep making your comments. your doing nothing but showing how stupid and uneducated you yourselves are. And FYI look up the stats. There is a HIGHER PERCENTAGE of white people on food stamps then blacks. educate your self a little more befor you speak on the behalf of someone that you know absolutly nothing about.

I don't get why everyone is so upset about the comment asking where was her husband. I'm a black single mom and dads these days need to step up, black and white. It's unfortunate that we (women) cannot first make sure the man is stable and responsible, before we get involved and get pregnant. We need to use birth control. Again, I'm a single mom, but it's the children you would benefit with both parents. I am not saying they will be harmed per se, because I also grew up without a father, but it's good for kids to have both parents.

I never leave commits but I voted to I love the president we have now inspite he does everything in his power to do for our rights and I know in my heart that whats his name rummy going back home and eat his stake and not being president so I say congrats to the young woman and her child to be for voting for the best man on earth our second term president Obama and byebye rummy

If we lived in England, would that make her a member of the Labor Party?-LOL! Can you imagine a man standing in line to vote with so much as a stubbed toe??????

A few things.. for all of you who want to bash someone for casting a vote... hope you stay home and not enjoy your american right! I can take a guess as to who she voted for (cubs hat), not my pick! HOWEVER, she voted which is more than can be said for many single/married, white/black, whatever!!! She did her part, so get off her back! Congrats to the new mom, thanks for voting! I really hope you and your daughter can enjoy that freedom, and others in the future to come!

O I think ill eat some stake to so rummy can go home lamooooioooooooo byebye rummy

I am so impressed just how people see this election as the most inportant in our lifetime. Galicia, you are the shining example of how passionate people feel about this election and they are making thier voices heard by voting. Thumbs up to you young lady for your determination in securing a better future in this country for your baby. With each generation we strive for better for our children starting with a good education. Stay focused. I am so proud of you.
Agatha

Dosen't matter who she voted for! She voted! Alot of people want but then complain. My hats off to you Galicia.

Maybe she wanted to vote the "old fashioned way". I live in Colorado and there is no way I am voting early or with a mail in ballot.

For ALL the idiots that have something negative to say, read up on your facts... There are more white people than black people that are on Welfare, I have seen it first hand. You dumb azz people are making a good thing like child birth into something so horrible. Get a life and stay out of hers. At least she voted.

It's really unfortunate that so many of you are spending so much effort judging a young woman for things that no one on this list of commenters knows first hand. "When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself."

You go Shakiya...................God Bless You .........................Texas here

this damn fool really thought her one vote was going to make a difference....I got news for you all....the powers that be have already decided who the next president is going to be...all our votes are useless.

Good for you Galicia. I am so proud of you. I hope you keep this attitude for life so your child will grow up knowing how precious the right to vote is.

Most white men have wives...& lil boys!!! #sickos...

She is not a poor girl for one. There are plenty of women drive themselves to the hospital and the husband is at work. All woman are not helpless; and you need not know everything about the young woman are any one that is mention in the news....ESPECIALLY when you are not putting out anything BUT HOT AIR. You all NEVER seems to see good in anybody other than yourself...and you don't see good there. You never know what the future holds for any one. Be very CAREFUL how you talk and treat people. You will need somebody one day just keep LIVING.

These comments are hilariously sad.

First off, does it really matter who she voted for? The great thing about America is that you can vote for who you want. Screaming Romney or Obama at someone is petty and childish. If she voted for Romney, more power to her. If she voted for Obama, more power to her.

Second, who cares if she has a husband? Maybe she has a boyfriend? Maybe she is a single mother? Maybe the 'father' up and ran? Maybe she was careless? It doesn't matter which route she is going. It really isn't relative to this article.

Third, it is truly disheartening to see people jumping to conclusions because a person is black. It is rude and disrespectful to assume she is on welfare or is automatically a hand-out receiver because she isn't white. Please people. Get off your high horses.

I for one would like to offer sincere congratulations. Voting for the first time is a momentous occasion (as is voting for this monumental election). I know I wouldn't be able to keep my cool while going in to labor. Galicia, no matter who you voted for, hold your head high. After all, casting your vote is one of the best things you can do as a person.

Great story. Congratulations. I hope you and child never have to meet all these mean spirited judgemental bigots who had to say something negative without knowing a single fact. They are a testament to how much we have already cut on education. Irony is, probably 85% of them would tell you they are good Christians. Big joke obviously. So don't for a second believe a word of thir garbge.

Congratulations to Galicia on the birth of her daughter, hoping that both mother and daughter are just fine. I smiled when I read the story thinking this is something you and your daughter will laugh about in years to come. Then I was saddened by some of the mean spirited comments made by thoughtless people. Maybe Lauren Traut should delete some of these evil comments so the young lady can enjoy the story and the nice comments.

Boy we know whose writing the nasty and racist comments. If she was white they wouldn't have been so nasty. Now you whites want only married people to vote. You probable beat and cheat on your wives, but it's ok cause your married. I watched alot of Lifetime movies about you people.

WOW! Since when do you speculate as to someones business that you know nothing about? Hummmm....sounds like gossiping. It's no ones business why her husband, boyfriend or whoever is not with her. In everyday life, how would you like someone to assume something about you without knowing or you or the circumstances. I'm sure everyone has had that happened to them at sometime in their life. Quit judging and stereotyping. It can be an ugly world out there. So sad...

What a sad group most of you are. She has the right to vote just as like you , you bunch of ignorants. Only ignorance would make you write such things. If she was white voting for Romney she would be an hero in your eyes. There's a name for people like you where I come from. And it's not a nice name. Do you know that there are more white people receiving government hand outs in this country than any minority?
And guess what some of them are voting for Romney. They would never vote for the well educated , inteligent man of character, he is not white. And no they didn't just start to get food stamps and housing they were receiving it during the Bush administration. I bet most of you don't even have jobs. Go find one. There's plenty our there that pay as much at least as unemployment benefits!!!! Oh by the way I am white but unlike you my parents were good people who taught me manners compassion and integrity and to respect people regardless of the color of their skin or their background. Congratulations Galicia. Good luck with your baby and may God Bless you both.

Misery surely loves company! Only biggots could turn a wonderful story into a negative thing. Ignore them Galicia!
Great job Galicia & Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!!! I hope you and the baby are doing well. May God bless you & your family always!!

Great for her that she managed to vote while in labor on the way to the hospital. The scary thing was that SHE drove herself. She could have caused an accident and seriously hurt herself her child and someone else if she lost control of her car while she was on LABOR!! Why wasn't there someone else to drive her? It doesn't matter who, just that it was irresponsible to drive herself. But good for her, she voted.

Congratulations Ms. Malone. Happy to know everything worked out for you.

This is a great story about a young woman having an amazing day as well as doing her civic duty. The rest of her life is none of your business.

It amazes me, all this "poor bashing", no one chooses to be poor. And if you eliminate every poor person, the government is NOT going to step up and take care of you complainers. Which is REALLY what it sounds like you think should happen. UGH

Courageous!!!!
To do all that alone and while in considerable pain.

Hello, everyone.

The comments on this story have now been set to moderate. An editor will review all submissions before comments are displayed on the site.

Please be understanding of any delays.

Thank You,
Lauren Traut,
Association Regional Editor

Mayby her husband or the father is in the military. I see none of you thought of that.

Good for her, and all you naysayers, shame on you for being so negative and making assumptions about a woman who will obviously teach her child the important values in life. Women and blacks died for their right to vote. Galicia personifies the struggles and successes of both. God bless her and her child.

G Man.
I hope she voted for Obama because a vote for Romney is a vote to bust unions who fight for higher pay, not to give equal pay to women and to eliminate minimum wage. Lower wages for all will make more jobs, thats why Romney won't answer some of the questions when asked. A good example is the union busting in Wisconsin. No unions mean companies can pay employees lower wages and hire more.

her husband is in the service so back off

Good for you, Galicia! I know what people are muttering under their breathe, you putting off birth to vote, and many, (mostly the 'evil ones') are thinking that you did this because you wanted to vote for Obama, a President 'of color.' I'm sure they're also saying that if he hadn't been 'of color' that you wouldn't have bothered. I don't think it makes a difference WHY you voted, but you did, and at great discomfort to yourself, regardless of whom you voted for (yes, there are black people do vote for Republicans...Alan Keyes comes to mind). Point is, you took your right to vote, something many in the US take for granted and don't do, seriously, and did your duty as an American. People who don't vote, in my opinion, should have no right to complain when they disagree with something as when they flushed their right to vote right down the proverbial, political toilet they also flushed away their right to complain. Even those who cannot vote, but help by canvassing, funding, campaigning for someone, have the right to speak, but those whom remain flaccid, have no rights whatsoever. On this note, a applaud you and wish you and your newborn and family, all the best. You are an example to so many of us. (and never mind what the 'Others' might or might not be saying about your motivation, as I remember my first presidential election, in 1984, and it's the say I became, so to speak, an adult. A day I won't ever forget). Peace!

It's a shame that after she reads some of these comments, some of her joy will be taken away from her by a bunch of ignorant people. Why do people have to be so judgemental? Its her FIRST time voting, she did a WONDERFUL thing, no matter who it is she's voting for. None of you know her!!!! Its disgusting how many of you are just sooo ignorant. Especially assuming the worst about her personal life. The point is...she voted. She didn't make excuses like a lot of lazy people out there as to why she couldn't go vote. She did what she was suppose to do as an American.

I am sure with Obama reelected everything will turn out alright for her and her baby. If Romney is elected, not so good for women, the poor, the average, union workers,and the middle class. The wealthy will make out ok, after all they will have helped put him in office and they are not spending all this money because they like his programs. Come to think about it, what programs, all I heard was how he planed to lower taxes for the wealthy. Maybe thats why the wealthy donated so much money for his campaign

Thank you for your courage and determiniation. The pain goes away, but OBAMA is here to stay. You are an inspiration, to voters. You have my vote, as a mother you are going to have to be strong. You are there already. The last minute is always best. Welcome to moterhood. Good JOB. Pick soe good nams.

who cares!? I don't! I also don't care that a stupid 99 year old women votes for the first time in this election. Report on something better.

Interesting dialog going on here. She said this is the first time she voted and she is 21 years of age. Did she not think to vote for local or state officials during the years from 18-21? I applaude her fortitude but question her motive. I also wonder why she would potentially endanger her child because of possible complications during birth.

Glad she could make it to vote.I just hope she teach her child about taking leadership and not wanting to settle for less and help is not a means of living.

WOW! I am amazed at the ignorance of so many highly educated americans. A new life was brought into this world. The mother didn't neglect her right as an american citizen to vote. Regardless of the early voting priveldge, she pressed her way to make sure her vote counted. Some of your comments were disrespectful, and disgraceful. You don't know her situation or her lifestyle but yet you are posting comments judging her. The article was about voting and how important it was for her to make sure her vote counted. But you were to shallow and narrow minded to understand that in your read. No matter how much things change they remain the same in so many ways. God Bless America!

She sure has me beat. One of my children was born on November 1st and yes I voted that year for Clinton. I always feel that he rewarded me by signing the Family Leave Act that enabled me to take off work stay with that same daughter when she was hospitalized.

Obama spent 6 trillion first term, if foolishly reelected he will spend at least 6 trillion next term likely 10 trillion or more once unleashed!

I say if Obama is re-elected at the end of Obamas second term we elect a Republican. We then petition him to enact a new law sending every registered democrat the 12 to 16 Trillion dollar bill for all the money wasted by Obama!

God bless Galicia and her baby, always. What a terrific story.

Galicia, your sacrifices for your child, family and country are INSPIRING. I join your MANY friends across the USA to say, thank you for going the extra mile and voting. You are an AMAZING parent already--bless your family and loving hearts!

Its sad that a good story always has to be turned into hatred. Idiots and folks that are racist will be here for ever. Why do they breath I dont know. One thing I do know is what goes around comea around. Just because she os black doesnt mean she is voting for Obama,Just because the spouse isnt their he could be over seas(military) God help the USA

Agatha, that was very well said!

Please.............Sounds way to fabricated.

Great motivation Galicia,very inspiring i hope it will inspire others to get off their buttocks and vote,
women are truly strong !!! To God be the Glory !!!

God Bless you and baby dear

Forget Dave. Your doing two very important things. Making your vote count and giving birth to a new life. I think most women would have went to the hospital. Not a voting sight. Congrats you should be very proud. Plus you have a story to tell for life.

nobody knows who is this women, why people have to be so rude, she just doing what millions of people are doing today: voting.

I feel very sorry for those of you who chose to make the ignorant comments you did. This young woman wanted to vote for the first time in her life. Her marital status is none of your business. There is nothing worse than a bunch of uneducated racists who are taking up air and space that someone else can use. Get a life and get out of the basement.

How can you people take a inspiring and inspirational story and turn it into a political and person BS. Who cares who she voted for thats between her and who wins. And what the %&@#1 this story got to do if she got a husband or boyfriend. Thats her personal life. This Story was about a woman who did what she had to do to accompolish her goal to do something she never had done before and that would impact not only her life but the life of her child. Some of you turned a wonderful story into such BS. If you can't just stay something nice and leave it at that. Shut the %&*@! up and don't say anything. And to You Ms. Malone my hats goes off to you and congradulations you on the long waiting or arrival of your child

Thank you Ms Traut, cause some of the comments left were totally irrelevant to a wonderful story. It was not a place for political or personal opions about this woman.

You know when I look back at the history of African Americans who were beaten, slain ... hosed and so forth for my right, Galicia's right and her baby's right to vote.... it really doesn't matter who she voted for but what matters is that all that history was not in vain and to the neigh sayers ... it's okay there negative and ignorant people back then and there will be now... it's all a part of the balance.

You go Girl!! and God bless you and your baby. Let us know what you had..little Barack or Michelle.(smile)
Good Look

WOW! WHAT AN INSPIRATION YOU ARE GALICIA...CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BABY GIRL! PEOPLE STOP TALKING NONSENSE AND GO VOTE!

What a great citizen -- hope she and her child live long and prosper! For a different side of citizens voting -- after voting this afternoon, I stopped by my local grocery store and, upon leaving, asked the middle-aged, blond cashier if she would have time to vote today. Her reply, Oh, probably not, I'm not registered so probably not.
In all the political frenzy, I had forgotten what a really small percentage of citizens vote or even care. Bless the ones like Galicia!!

Natalie

GALICIA---A JOB WELL DONE!!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LITTLE ONE. MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP BOTH OF YOU SAFE. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, KEEP SMILING, AND DON'T RESPOND TO ANY OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS.

Congratulations to her for fulfilling her job as an American citizen. She seems committed and perseverant. I am sure she will make a wonderful Mother.

I am glad she voted, but sorry she had nobody to take her to the hospital. Having a child is a time to share.

I guess you didn't see the long lines...Why is that some people just like to say stupid things. Mixing things up like, racial comments,marital status, religion, politics, economics, etc. Please focus, she did a great thing that many still thinking on doing it. Please be kind to others, because no matter who wins the election we all are in this together, no control of the situation whatsoever!!! I'm sure we all want the same things: peace, love, health, job, and enough money to provide for ourselves and our families. Agree? So let go of so much anger, lets work together for a better world. Just think if this little girl one day reads about all these, wouldn't you feel ashame she came to this world knowing her mother got so many nasty remarks. Think, what about if she was your baby, your own blood? How would you feel about it? One day you will be a father, a mother, a brother or a sister, and this kind of remarks can affect your life. I hope this young lady, married or not, rich or poor, educated or not (maybe for having no means), forgive us, but know that what she did was right. Congratulations!!! The right that every American have to vote was acquire with lots of blood, already. What a previlege we have to live in a democratic country & have the freedom to vote. So, shame on us for recriminating a human being this way. Have a wonderful day & hope that who ever wins, will be the best for America, a new victory for the American people for being the best example to the world.

Awsome baby! you just keep doing what you believe in, teach your baby that too! And ignore all the other negatives!

my best,
dawn

yoopergone, you make a good case here. I have said to some people awhile ago that if Romney were elected, we'd be seeing lots of bad things happen. I think I had also heard Romney would be giving the wealthiest of this country some of the Bush-era tax cuts (which I think weren't given then). I can certainly hope we get Obama for another 4 years.

YOU ARE THE WINNER!!!!CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BORN.....BECAUSE YOUR VOTE COUNTED!!!!!BE BLESSED!

SHARI

MAT, you make a good point here. I think when it comes to women expecting babies, if they FEEL the need's urgent, they'll do WHAT THEY CAN to drive themselves to the hospital. IF they know anyone who can help them doing this, they will TRY and reach them so that things can be done FASTER.

Dinkum, at the risk of being a bit rude, that only DEPENDS on if you WANT people to IGNORE you, and not helping you out in times of need.

Reese, I can agree with you here - Galicia had to have made a bold move to get herself to the hospital, but AT THE SAME TIME, stop at her polling place to place a ballot for this year's election. I think only a SMALL minority of people would find some LAME excuse NOT to vote.

garypeter, very well spoken! I think what she did was NOT something you'd see everyday with other people.

shopkins, I believe as I scrolled down all the comments, I had read on this. I had said on how I'm sure he voted accordingly, and as to when he had heard the glorious news of his new kid, he wanted to celebrate (at the same time, calling his wife)

George, very well said as to what your opinion is on Romney! I feel if Romney were president, we'd probably find ourselves going "back in time" (and living a simpler life).

awesome kinda makes peoples excuses for not voting seem lame :) if she can do it you can do it. For those saying she could of voted early umm do you have kids? lmao babies come when they come she didnt know last week her babies birthday.

MDSNR, I had went to quite a number of schools because I had moved quite a number of times. I went to schools in Chicago suburbs, Vermillion (South Dakota), Hammond (Indiana), and Houston (Texas). After July 1992, I haven't been going anywhere to keep on getting any more classes for myself.

Duende, I'm sure you're NOT the only one.

Peter, I thank you for what you just said - she might probably had not realized of the amendment to the U. S. Constitution which lowered the age for voting from 21 to 18 (also, during a political science class, I had heard someone wanting the drinking age lowered as such, arguing, "OLD enough to VOTE, OLD enough to DRINK"

Jack, I'm sure she had PLENTY of options as to HOW to get to the hospital. I think she felt driving herself there might have been the BEST one for herself.

Mylife, some of what I'd heard from you was very well said!

Randi, as I've heard from some people, "We MAY have won the BATTLE, but the WAR is FAR from OVER"

I love it!!! You go girl. I have a feeling that this is no "ordinary" young mom, and her child is destined to become someone beyond ordinary as well.

Best wishes for her and her new family.

Mississippi is so proud of you Galicia!!!! Congratulations! What a story!! We know what it took for us to vote and to read your story the nasty people need to stop talking just one day. Go read a book!

And how much of a tax bill should we send to bush jr? Justsaying

Scottann, I had an opportunity myself to vote early - however, I just wanted to wait until the election day (and I was lucky I took a walk to the polling place during the day, and NOT be waiting until the LAST hour)

ibbett, I'm sure that was true. She also did QUITE a job voting on her way to the hospital.

Cynthia, I WAS impressed in how she stopped by to vote in today's election, then go to the hospital to do what she wanted to do.

C B, well said, my good friend!

coloradovoter, I'm sure you're NOT the only one!

Cindy, I'm a bit saddened she had nobody to help her out! BUT, that most certainly did not STOP her!

karen, I took care of that as of around 10 - 11 AM cst.

Natalie, I'm sure you're NOT the only one!

Arayana, I very well agree with you here! If I lived where she did, I would have been glad to help her out (although, I do NOT have a license myself).

Rebecca, I can share in this sentiment you have!

Jim, like it really matters WHO she voted for - I think it was just IMPRESSIVE that she DECIDED to vote as she was going to a hospital.

Donna, I agree with you here!

koko, I can agree with you here, but think we ought to LOOK at the bigger picture!

sden, I think you're reminding me of a famous phrase "JUDGE not lest YE be JUDGED!"

Dazyfield, voting early or voting by mail are just 2 alternative options to voting so we won't be having to CONTEND with the long lines during Election Day.

girl you go!! hope that your delivery went well and that the baby is doing just fine!

Nancy, you are very welcome. I had just found you were the FIRST one to thank me for some of the opinions I had made in this article.

No male could possibly fathom what it feels like to be in labor for the first time. And guess what? I couldn't give a rat's a** whether anyone howls about my opinion. What I do know it this young woman was extraordinarily brave to stop and vote for her first time before driving herself to deliver her child. Her race, relationship status or political affiliation don't matter. Let's cut the crap in half right now: Guys, give it a rest. Unless you happen to be the first male birth, your input here really doesn't isn't germane. And judging from reading these comments, it's clear that bigotry is alive and well in the SW 'burps! (Sic & pun intended!) I'll bet these same cowards wouldn't have the guts to make these remarks in person, when we could make them take responsibility for their blatant racism and misogyny.

Good job!!!!! And to the rest how did her story become about you. God Bless each and eveyone.

Our President is back

The only thing I can tell you is: I really hope she voted for OBAMA!!!

Because OBAMA won the election! :)

Dear Galicia, I hope your baby was born during this election race, healthy and happy. Because this election was vibrant, electrical and peaceful in the way it was conducted, a real democratic example to the world. Although, some people prefere hurting others with nasty comments, well, lets not go there again. Now, this is a thing of the past, lets focus in the wonderfull future ahead, not just for all Americans, but specially for this little baby that symbolizes not just changes but a new begining. Wishing you happy days ahead. Regards.

Galicia...you did a wonderful thing and your child will one day understand that voting is very important as it is our duty as as American citizens. It is what allows for democracy and the wonderful freedom this country offers. Be blessed always and may you and your family prosper spiritually as well as materially. Very proud to have voted and very proud to congratulate you and the many who did make time for such. :)

AMEN.....I agree. what she did was very brave and a courageous. You now are one of my Sheroes. Kuddos goes out to you Galicia. My pray is that God will keep watch over you and your baby and family. Thank you!

Democrat or Republican or any of the other parties, I have to tip my hat off to her for her initiative and want to vote. Even if she voted against my choices, major kudos for doing this knowing that your vote does matter. It's your vote that determines the electoral college votes. Taken from:

"Does My Individual Vote Still Count?

Some people might believe that since the Electors in the Electoral College ultimately determine who wins and loses the Presidential election, that their individual vote is no longer necessary. However, this is untrue. Electors use the results of the popular vote to make their ultimate decisions. Therefore, the popular vote is the foundation for the process and allows Electors to know the desires of the American people."

Why didn't her husband drive her?

You did the right thing girl. God was with you and you baby. I was crying when I saw the poles stated Romney is on top. I started to prayer and cry out to God for favor for Obama then I saw the pole stated to go up for him and I text my friends and tell them Obama win when the pole was still going on. God give me the strength to believe in what I ask for. I thank the Lord for his work well done. Obama is my President for a second term.

OBAMA won and MITT didn't. Enough said. You can say whatever it is you want to say but that's fact. Now, people that are upset that Romney lost, PAY ATTENTION. To me it speaks volumes that the state that Romney is Governor of Voted for Obama. Now while you may not agree with Obama and his plans, why would you want someone in office whose own state didn't want him in office? Maybe they know the Real Romney and not the one he portrayed during this election. And as for those that made comments about this being the weakest security ever, UM I'd say that period of weak security was September 11, 2001 during which Bush was in office, you know that day we all come together and celebrate? That is all.

I don't care who she voted for and it's nobody's business!! Had she known she was going to go into labor on election day I'm sure she would have voted early. Please forgive her for not having a crystal ball. All you negetive people need to grow up!!

Felicia, this has been mentioned plenty of times. I had replied to SOME of these articles, while SNUBBING others.

Sammy, I don't think it matters so much as to WHO she voted for - all that matters is that she VOTED as she was going to the hospital.

MBS, you aren't the ONLY one thinking this, I'm sure.

charekay, very well put in what you said!

Dave M., her husband was obviously elsewhere, and didn't have a clue as to how she was in labor.

That is one determined Mama! Love that she said she was doing it for her daughter :) No matter how she voted, that is a great example to set for our kids!
