like i've said before, about abortion, guns, etc, etc..if you're not in favor of it, disagree with it, then don't do it. your opinion fits you, suits you, and your life. it's not your business to tell someone else that your opinion should be theirs, or that their rights should be taken away because you don't agree.
again, as i said regarding giving rights to homosexuals-how does someone being granted a right, in this case abortion, a taking away of your rights joey? how does it affect you, your life, how you live it? it doesn't.

Abortion is unique however as many folks honestly believe that life begins at conception therefore abortion equates to murder. Some of those beliefs are packaged into an ultra right wing religious belief and some are the result of personal philosophy...nevertheless it is a complicated topic. The one striking factor is that in some states, while abortion is unrestricted, murder of a pregnant woman is considered the taking of two lives (Scott Peterson)...this seems a bit confusing. As I've said, I'd like to see abortion become unnecessary but that requires significant cultural changes centered around an increased sense of responsibility for both men and women (largely men)...until that day, this argument will never end.

i don't care how honest beliefs are. beliefs can be illogical, nonsensical, and unprovable. they shouldn't be the basis of law. i find it odd that the party that supposedly believes in small government so often is actually for more govt.
religion is an excuse to mind other peoples' business. it's 'for your own good' i'm sure.
