i find it odd that the democrats generally support the right to choose--but then get on their high horse about the war overseas, and about capital punishment. it seems they, and the republicans in turn, don't always use logic. if a soldiers life is precious, why not a fetus? if one is sacrosanct, why not the other?
as for the ruling by the supreme court, i disagree that the right to an abortion is granted by the constitution. the right to privacy--yes, i agree that is.

as for pro-choice/pro-life, i think they are both misnomers. everyone obviously believes we should all be free to make choices in our lives--on the other hand, who here is anti-life?!

the right to an abortion has been granted. to make it (as hillary said--and on this point i agree) safe, legal and rare is what i would say. if you don't feel it is right, well don't go get one. in that regard, it's much like the right to keep and bear arms--doesn't mean you HAVE to own a gun.


but as for the statement that you can't be against abortion if you have never adopted, i don't think that's a fair statement. people take stands every day on issues that have never affected them personally.
