what kills me is my 14 year old cousin is a self proclaimed republican because of Abortion mainly. I tried to talk to her to get her to tell me what she believes and tell her what I believe. I think I wore her down a bit, not to the point of her being pro choice, but to her seeing that it's not all black and white.
And I agree with what has been said in this thread. No one is all YAY abortion lets kill a bunch of babies for the fun of it...or lets have all the sex we want because hey we have abortions to fix it later. I don't think that's the mentality of most people when it comes to this issue. What I do see is a very painful choice to either carry the child to term or abort it. It's not an easy choice for any woman to make and I don't envy those woman put in that posistion.
And to all the right wingers saying "Well just give it up for adoption", yeah because that's a great option, over run our foster homes and orphanages with more children that no one will take care of. Our orphanages are over crowded as it is, and with the stringent adoption laws, more and more people are going over seas to adopt...isn't that great we're outsourcing adopting kids now! They need to be strict on who to give a child to, but not as strict as they are right now. What's wrong with giving it to a loving single parent or same sex couple who will love and protect that child instead of keeping them cramped with many other kids who just get tossed on their own when they turn 18.
again I'm on my soap box (preaching to the converted most likely), see what happens with too much caffeine, trying to avoid work and a subject I feel passionate about.

You're always sorry,
You're always grateful,
You hold her, thinking:
"I'm not alone."
You're still alone.
