i never talk politics here. none of my 3 regular readers wanna hear it anyway, so why talk it? but with campaigning/election talk getting to the point of annoying, i figure i need to throw out my 2 cents. so here it is.
coming from a christian family and having a lot of christian friends i just expect a lot of people i know to vote based on party...or more specifically on the abortion issue. and heres my 2 cents. "pro-life" should mean more than just anti-abortion. pro-life should not just protect unborn babies, it should also protect the living. bush may call himself pro-life, but how many have been killed in the wars he has chosen to fight? how many children have been killed by u.s. bombs? it just occurs to me too that we could take the money were spending on war and spend it on more important stuff...like food for people who dont have enough to live. seems like billions a month could really come in handy other places.
anyways...my point is this. theres more to being president than an opinion on abortion. if "pro-life bush" had his way i think our maps of the middle east would have to be rewritten. (and the populations reduced.) in my opinion pro-life and war are a contradiction to say the least.
one more thought...bush has been in office for 7 years now. abortion is still legal. and the morning after pill is as easy to get a hold of as aspirin. im done. no more politics, i promise.
