What about Daddy Bush and his "Read my lips. No new taxes."
I would just like to mention that I agree with what has been said thus far. Bush want's to put the decision in the hands of the people. This is a big thing with him. How can you make a decision if you have no options? You can't. Bush does not give a flying _______ (you fill in the blank) about those people who don't have any options as things stand.
I would like to remind everyone that this country was settled by people searching for religious freedom. Not just religious freedom for those who are Christians, but for everyone (as much as it might pain some of y'all to contemplate that fact). Religion often also shapes morality. Somethings that are not acceptable to members of certain religions--say eating pork for example-- are perfectly acceptable to others.
The larger issue I refer to hear is abortion. If it does not compromise the individual moral and religious beliefs than what right does the government have to assert dominion over what should be an individual's choice. Last I checked government and church were supposed to be separate. Your can not force your morality code on anyon else.
If Bush is so for choices, why won't he let the woman make this choice for herself. Does he not trust women to choose what is right for their own bodies. Some trust. Also legal abortions are better than the seedy back alley alternatives that were once, and will again become the reality if folks like Bush have their way.
Well I have said my piece and I am sure in the process I have offended many, many people. Let's just try to continue to keep this civil 'kay.
