I have been feeling more than a little beat up regarding this issue. (my daughter can verify that I did indeed break down crying in the middle of walmart from one too many comments) Thank you for sharing this in words better than I am able to put together.

I so totally know what you are saying. And pro life should mean so much more...like taking care of the poor, the disabled, the elderly, not entering into war until all other venues of peace keeping have failed....all of which I don't see the Republican party doing. Much love sister and email me when you get back. I hope you all had a fabulous time!!!! Karen,

Just wanted to encourage you that you are not alone and it is encouraging to know that I am not alone either. I am preparing to write a similar post, in fact, right now I am writing the backdrop on my blog. My position is counter to 90 percent of the people I know; my fear of their opinion has kept me silent far too long. Happy Anniversary! no time to write a long comment this morning.

I think abortion is a big gray area no matter how polarized an issue it is. Me and my husband have had the discussion many times of "would making it illegal fix it". Of course it's a much deeper issue. Abortion were occurring long before it was legal. Thanks for being brave enough to open this subject!

For me, however, the issue this year has turned out to be that possibly one of the most pro-abortion candidates ever is in the running. I was actually leaning toward voting for him until I read his voting record. He gets a 100% rating from NARAL. He opposed the ban on "partial-birth" abortion, which fellow Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan deemed "too close to infanticide." And while he was in the Illinois legislature, he opposed a bill that would have prevented the killing of infants who were inadvertently left alive after an abortion (woman delivers a viable baby instead of a dead one). That turns my stomach so much, I cannot possibly pull the lever for him, no matter how much I may like what he has to say on other things. I find such disregard for human life to be appalling.
