I know. I can never understand policies which offer people no choice. I mean, Obama is hardly going out saying "You must abort unborn babies!", he is merely supporting choice. The idea of banning abortion would really only set society back 50 plus years and women will be risking their lives for an unborn child. If you are a pro-life supporter, hey that's fine, keep your unborn child. If you are a pro-choice supporter then that's cool also, people may not agree with it but what right do they have?
I could talk about this topic all day. I have seen Pro-life supporters literature and yes it is harsh. Seeing aborted foetuses is not a pretty sight and quite a bitter pill to swallow, but if you look at the alternative it is worse to risk not only an unborn childs life but also that of it's mother when people are forced to go to back street clinics and in some circumstances self-determinate.
Abortion is not a form of contraception, but it is a choice that women and men have the right to.
AND ON THE ONE POINT VOTE:
That's the most ridiculous thing ever! You must weigh up everything. Both sides are more likely to have things you don't agree with but it's making the right choice that is important. If McCains policies are what people believe mostly in, cool, vote Republican. But if Obama has an air of a new dawn, a new hope and fantastic policies then vote for Democrat.
I hope it all works out, god I wish I could come over and vote. I have felt more passionate about US politics in the last 8 months than I ever have for UK politics!
I hope it works out too...right now, especially with McCain's wrongheaded choice for VP, things don't seem to be looking good for McCain...but who knows what will happen in the next two months...I find it hard to believe that there won't be enough voters ripe for change, though...
Yes, but we kinda thought that in the last election and hey Bush got in again. But yes, there does seem to be an air of change. It's just gotta happen. McCain is too similar to Bush to feel like a Republican alternative. Whereas over here David Cameron feels like a fresh alternative to previous Conservative leaders, which means he will probably win our next election sadly :(
galactic_jack asked me why I felt more passionate about US politics than UK politics, the answer? For the last 8 years US politics have been UK politics. We have blindly followed Bush and really have to take responsibility for that. So if Obama gets in it's good news both sides of the Atlantic and good news for the world, for sure.
I do think it's unfortunate that Tony Blair and Bush were bosom buddies with the Iraq War...while I don't follow UK politics to great extent, I hope things change for the better over there...and I agree that the election of Obama could help foster that...
