Tuesday, April 8, 2008 - Yup, I'm clearly anti-war and pro-choice

 I had an e mail discussion with my brother yesterday who had the following to say about Roe v. Wade (his comments are in red). I have not asked his permission to share his opinion here on my blog, but my guess is that he would have no problem with the whole world knowing the truth, at least the truth according to him. And this is also a test of whether or not he reads my blog.

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe
versus Wade. It should be overturned." You mean a woman's ability to murder her defenseless baby without fear of criminal penalty? I believe that God will judge our callous extermination of our children.  In addition, Roe vs Wade was bad law and is the precedent for much legislation by the bench.  It has perverted our legal justice system.

I think everyone is entitled to their own point of view on these issues, so here's mine. I think God will judge the callous extermination of the currently living, and the war in Iraq would be a fine current example of callous extermination. I don't see the morning after pill or even an abortion as criminal or callous. Women don't tend to make these decisions lightly. In my previous life as a social worker I surely saw too many unwanted children, and I will PROUDLY vote against anyone running for president who opposes a woman's right to choose. Republicans carry on constantly about wanting less government and less government interference, but Republicans also seem to want to interfere with control of my reproductive choices. Someone please explain this to me.
