what's funny is that I finally just saw Juno over the weekend...
it drives me crazy when pro-life people don't realize that sex education and contraception goes hand-in-hand with preventing abortion...
there were a handful of abortion protesters with big giant ugly signs of aborted fetuses at the Obama rally I went to yesterday...and today I read a local letter to the editor from a person who proclaimed that he was a one-issue voter and he would always vote for the pro-life candidate over the pro-choice candidate...it's unfortunate that all other qualifications or considerations go right out the window with some of these people, and that line of thinking extends right into how some politicians approach policies...
I know. I can never understand policies which offer people no choice. I mean, Obama is hardly going out saying "You must abort unborn babies!", he is merely supporting choice. The idea of banning abortion would really only set society back 50 plus years and women will be risking their lives for an unborn child. If you are a pro-life supporter, hey that's fine, keep your unborn child. If you are a pro-choice supporter then that's cool also, people may not agree with it but what right do they have
( ... )
I hope it works out too...right now, especially with McCain's wrongheaded choice for VP, things don't seem to be looking good for McCain...but who knows what will happen in the next two months...I find it hard to believe that there won't be enough voters ripe for change, though...
Yes, but we kinda thought that in the last election and hey Bush got in again. But yes, there does seem to be an air of change. It's just gotta happen. McCain is too similar to Bush to feel like a Republican alternative. Whereas over here David Cameron feels like a fresh alternative to previous Conservative leaders, which means he will probably win our next election sadly :(
galactic_jack asked me why I felt more passionate about US politics than UK politics, the answer? For the last 8 years US politics have been UK politics. We have blindly followed Bush and really have to take responsibility for that. So if Obama gets in it's good news both sides of the Atlantic and good news for the world, for sure.
