I truly appreciate the effort you have made to research and post about the bill itself. I will try to explain the Catholic position without seeming preachy and with the understanding that I am not attacking you or anything you have written here, this is just food for (further) thought

i hear you. i understand the catholic position on all of this. it makes complete sense to me. i guess it all rests on when you believe life begins. my brain may not be able to wrap it's arms around the totality of the situation at this moment, i am fully aware of that. it has always been a question of choice for me...that i would not choose it but that i cannot choose for someone else b/c it is not my place. i am still in that category today but i have been pushed into a fidgety place with all of the information i've been getting from my friendly, albeit adamant, catholics :) i have a feeling that my opinion on this will change over the next few years, especially when i begin thinking in earnest about a family of my own. although, i can't see myself voting for a republican simply for a pro-choice candidate. what an interesting election this has been!! yes...let's get that wine...pronto!
God knows I do not wish any further anxiety on your already torrential mind, but I'm glad that this topic has pushed you into a 'fidgety' place because it SHOULD. Abortion is a terrible thing, and the reason it has been sustained so long in this country is because no one talks about it. It is never at the forefront of any politician's mind or campaign strategy. If you don't really think about what it means to 'choose' (and I might add that the language used is vague on purpose so that you don't actually think about what you're choosing) it is easy to push it aside as an issue that doesn't really affect you on a day to day basis because it's not something you would choose for yourself
