I used to be anti-abortion - not particularly vocally...but if asked, I was against it.
However, when several women took me to task, explaining why this entire argument is none of men's business, but rather an issue for and about women, I realized they were absolutely right, and changed my stance.

Now, I just believe it's a WOMAN'S choice to do with her body (and what is IN her body) as she sees fit.

It *is* very easy for me to be pro-life - and, interestingly enough, most of the people I see in anti-abortion demonstrations are men. Certainly not ALL - but the majority. Most women seem to be in favor of allowing other women to make their own choices, even if they themselves would not choose abortion.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
