The Right to Choose

[bana05]

While I think Sarah Palin gave a great speech for her base, Sarah Palin cannot,  CANNOT, be my vice president.  She almost scares me more than Cheney does.

*shudders*

I'm glad I read the transcript of her speech instead of listened to her, because I would've shut my ear off to her within seconds of her opening her mouth.  To be fair, I barely watched

I never trust a woman who is anti abortion. Ever. They either have a hidden motive for that stance (ie it's popular in some places) or they have been brainwashed into being mysoginists. No true feminist would ever be anti aborton.

Well, okay, i might trust one who wanted a law to say that the father MUST, by law and under threat of imprisonment, raise the child for at least 50% (up to 100% if the mother wishes it) of the time, giving the mother a chance to work and restricting his life just as badly as hers. But lets face it, that aint going to happen!

Anti abportion is always about repressing women, no matter what cloak it's covered in.

And anyone who would repress women just for being women, will want to repress anyone who slightly differs from their own view of what is right, normal and moral.

As a brit i have never understood your Republican party. Right wing here used to be like the Democrats, in recent years though, our right wing is more liberal than even your democrats.

But I respect her because she's completely anti-abortion. She's not doing that half-assed no abortion unless rape or incest mess. I can't get with that. That would be covered under pro-choice.

Thats even worse, in my opinion. Anyone who thinks that way needs to sit down with a child like this

But if you're going to be "pro-life" then it doesn't matter how life is conceived, you are pro-life; you cannot say "Oh, it's okay if you were raped/incest victim to have an abortion" because you are still, fundamentally killing a life if your definition of life is "Moment of conception", which mine isn't.

That's why I don't believe most of the people are pro-life; they are just anti-abortion.

I think it's bad enough that when 2 people make a dumb mistake, that it's the woman left to carry the can. When that woman didnt make a mistake though, when she was violated in the worst way... You simply cant have a heart to then force her to still pay for someone else's crime.

Thats why i will always be pro choice and abhore anyone who is pro life.

If you want to give her points for being an uber bitch rather than just a bitch... well, i pray she has to live through such an event. maybe that would give her some compassion.

I'm pro-choice, too, but if you're going to be pro-life; be pro-life. you can't pick and "choose" when you want choice to be implemented.

That sounds like the differnce between a believer and a fanatic.

It's easier to reason with a believer than it is with a fanatic.

but if you're pro-choice, don't have to worry about it. there's no conflict. pro-choice isn't a position saying you MUST have an abortion, it is simply providing a choice.
