I'm in an odd position because I don't agree with abortion but I also don't agree with making it illegal. I could try for an hour to explain that, but the point is that I wouldn't wear a Pro-Choice tee shirt, so I wanted to gather a group to wear anti-war "sanctity of life" shirts.

I'm very much anti-abortion. Euthanasia (did I spell that right?) is fine, though, because the person destroying their own life actually has a choice, whereas, with an abortion, you have no idea what the baby might be. For example, he could be the next Jordan Rudess or Albert Einstein or something.
