As I have gotten older my opinion on abortion is become more and more defined. My attitude on it is certainly less casual. I have always believed that it is a person's right to choose how best to handle the processes with in their own body. Don't worry. I am still pro-choice. What has changed is a realization of how sad and serious an affair abortion really is.
My personal thought is that all of the money spent to fight abortion would be much more effectively spent on prevention education and conselling. Yes, conselling. Be it from parents, teachers, etc. Unwanted pregnancy for the most part is preventable.
The whole Alito thing seems very orchestrated. My hope is that there is a big backlash to all this.
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...
