Model Gisele Buendchen defends abortion rights, attacks Bush

If Gisele feels that way about America, we would be happy to give her a free ticket back to Brazil. She isn't that well liked here anyway. She and Tom Brady or the two most dispicable people that I have ever seen.

Sorry Ann, but that is just typical of a lot of Americans: Whenever being criticized, quite a number of you pull out some 'we don't like you anyway'-nationalist attitude. How contemptible!
And yes, of course, many people including myself who are not American (I am German) and who have spent a lot of time in your country studying in the past feel queasy about your government (what are you doing in Iraq???) and some symbolic issues like abortion which in the USA is a faith over facts issue.
Most Germans (and I guess Europeans in general) and obviously a number of Brazilians are open to discussion in that area. Since you are a country which makes a lot of noise, you should live with critique and try to respond rationally.
Best regards from Grenoble

She's a model with a brain. Just because you don't agree with her does not mean she's stupid. What she said about Bush is correct. The world hates us. If you get bood at something as superficial as a beauty pageant, that should tell you how much people hate us. Don't even get me started on the church and their pedophile priests. The church like a lot of Americans do not live in reality.

As for Tom, Gisele started dating him after he and his girlfriend broke up. I know that because Bridget and her publicist announced their break up in Us Weekly as amicable in early december. Let me guess did the church say it's a sin to date a single guy now.?lol

Gisele,

Are you for genital mutilation of women in Africa. The women don't seem to be saying no to it and they, 'should be able to do anything they want with their bodies.'

As people thinking Bush is awful. Yes, some mistakes have been made and he is by no means a very good communicator, but if you look at a lot of his post 9/11 policies, they are not bad. 9/11 changed everything! What will it take for the rest of the world to realize that?

If the US stopped protecting shipping lanes for the rest of the world, what would happen. I guaranty that world peace would not be part of the fall out.

Simon,

Gisele e uma Gaucha de Rio Grande do Sul Brazil. Ella e alemana de descendencia e tem muitos dos mesmos pensamentos como voce. Nao significa que som corectos.

(Gisele is a cowgirl from Rio Grande do Sul Brazil. She is of German descent and has a lot of the same thoughts as you. That does not mean they are correct.

1. Abortion. A lot of Pro-abortion advocates do not think that abortion is always the best or least guilt ridden option for an unplanned pregnancy. Many would want you to weigh the moral aspects of the procedure. I think a majority of people from the USA agree with Clinton when he said,

'Americans believe deeply in the need to keep government out of private, personal matters. That is one reason why I am pro-choice. I believe we should all work to reduce the number of abortions. That is why I have worked to reduce teen pregnancy, remove barriers to cross-racial adoption, and provide tax credits to families willing to adopt. Still, I believe the ultimate choice should remain a matter for a woman to decide in consultation with her conscience, her doctor, and her God.

I am no fan of Clinton, but I respect his stand on abortion (Rare, but legal). On the other hand Bush doubled Clinton's tax credit for adoption which allowed my wife and I to adopt our second child. In other words I have George W. Bush to thank for the bundle of joy I wake up to every morning. Bless him and the horse he rode in on.
