I agree, I guess I shouldn't worry what others think. Plus being Pro-choice doesn't mean we are Pro abortion either. I am in touch with some of my old classmates now, who are from a extremely conservative area of Indiana, and they are trying to tell me I am anti-Christ if I vote Democrat, that I believe in killing babies, etc.
Well okay if we outlaw abortion, what are we going to do with the children that are born who will probably end up in the welfare system. A lot of those young moms who have them are either too young to work, or in the welfare system themselves. OF course I am told that we have lots of couples who want to adopt. Well then why do we have so many kids who haven't been adopted? Well it is because we want a perfect baby of our own race. Well how many of those mom's are going to take care of themselves and the baby knowing they are going to give them up?
I don't like abortion, but I do believe in free choice. There are enough unwanted children already out there already, do we need more?
Okay I will get off my soapbox now. lol
