That's exactly how I feel too and I don't believe it will ever be difficult, certainly not illegal, to get an abortion in the U.S. |
Rick,
I gotta go along with youi on that. It's similar to the crap we often hear from the candidates. They feel obligated to take a stance on certain issues that have very little real importance based on what their team perceives the "power" of whatever group is yapping about that issue. Abortion and religion are two of them.
I personally could not care less about either issue...unless someone is trying to impose their views about either one of them on me. We should follow the Cinstitution on both and the gov. should butt out.
It's ridiculous with the true and critical government issues facing our nation that many of the candidates will waste time with mostly sanctimonious drivel about religion and often abortion. I want leaders who will actually govern and try to enable the success of our nation for my grand kids instead of pablum about how religious they may or may not be!
