(8,514 posts)I don't think it's your choice when it takes another's life. Your uterus doesn't belong only to you when it holds another's life. Nope.
I vote Democratic. In fact, I vote a straight Democratic ticket. I do that, not because I believe abortion is anything but homicide, but rather because I believe that there are other policies, in the Republican platform, that probably takes more lives and create more misery, than all of the abortions performed in this country, put together. I believe that most Democratic policies save lives, and most Republican policies take them.
But, I don't stand outside abortion clinics and picket. I don't follow abortion docs around and make their lives miserable. Instead, I support sex education in schools, and laws that make it easier for women to get birth control. I do that because arguing the issue of whether abortion is right or wrong usually gets us absolutely nowhere.
This is obvious, just reading this thread.
