I hate the abortion issue, and not only because I know it's the only issue my mother looks at when voting. I hate it because it sometimes feels that those who are very anti-choice think that anyone who is pro-choice is morally corrupt.

Uh, no. This simply isn't true. I firmly believe every woman has the right to choose what is best for her, and for the unborn child. Because sometimes giving birth really isn't the best choice. It's an individual (or couple) decision and falls under that pesky thing that the God so many call upon deemed "free will."

That notwithstanding, I find it really hard to swallow that the US Government doesn't have more pertinent issues which are relevant to far more people. Like, oh, the environment, as one example...
