Remember what Obama said:
The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing I’d do.

More Federal Imposed Doctrine. The Gov't has become a cancerous growth upon society. Less is more.

Sooo...

What's the big deal? I'm prolife, but what is different in this bill than what people do now? Isn't this just restating what's already going on?

I kinda take Ron Paul's stance on the Life/Choice subject.

So what's the difference compared to what women do now?

The key word and difference is "viablity" they are trying to eliminate late term abortions. Rather smart to me. Pass this into law then this word becomes the battle and no longer the right to choose. IMO i may be wrong.

I oppose abortion unless it is in the case of rape and incest. I am STRONGLY in favour of abortion to be available for the case of rape and incest. I dont think women should have to go through such a horrible cycle after suffering something worst. It should be available and these rightwing nuts who wish it to be banned completely should be told to keep out of a horrible situation another individual had to suffer because you dont know squat.

My opinion... if you want to go around preaching individual freedoms, preach it on all sides and all levels, not just your own.



The conservative christian wingnuts have already taking this country down far enough, and with their "israel first,anti-gay rights, anti-choice for women" policies have continue to divide this country and have assisted in bringing it to where it is.


I have conservative values. I register to vote as an independent. Conservatism is not a political party; it is a philosophy.

Many, many Democrats are Catholic. Many, many Democrats oppose abortion. Some for religious reasons, others for philosophical or humanitarian reasons.

While I agree with you that a woman should not have to carry the result of a rape or incest, I disagree with you that it is a right vs left thing. It is an individual thing.

Posts such as yours are what keep this country divided - trying to lump all pro-life people into one group.
