It's a great disappointment to know that because of the abortion issue alone, Ms. Marshall will be voting for McCain! Let's take a look at that debate for a moment. There are several things I've never understood about this highly emotional issue.
1) Why is the freedom to choose so wrong? If you don't believe in abortion, you don't have to ever have one. No one is forcing you to. If your individual faith interprets this as wrong, fine, but why interpret these matters for others?
2) How can republicans be against abortion, yet pro death penalty? That has always seemed massively hypocritical. I know they try to rationalize this by saying that a fetus life is innocent, but a human being that has sinned has no right to live. Even though I believe only God (for those of faith) should determine such things and be the judge.
3) Why do republicans have the monopoly on being in tune with Christian beliefs when, although they don't want any abortions to happen in this country, they are the first to take away any kind of funding for children, such as, educational grants, welfare, etc. Sure, they make sure the kid comes into the world but then do nothing to support it! More tax breaks for the rich, more loop holes for the corporations, but nothing for the poor and needy!
I'm shocked how anyone in this environment can ignore the issues of the housing crisis, gas prices (death of electric cars/dependence on oil), economic slowdown, loss of jobs, lack of help to communities in need (Katrina), environmental issues (including the increase in hurricanes) and support of a war that has long ceased to have anything to do with terrorists. I hope we can all smarten up before it is too late. Thank you!
