Another thing from priyatelka

Oh look. Abortion rates increased during Bush's term. What a surprise.

What does this tell us? Economic policy and abortion are not separate issues; they form one moral imperative. Rhetoric is hollow, mere tinkling brass, without health care, health insurance, jobs, child care, and a living wage. Pro-life in deed, not merely in word, means we need policies that provide jobs and health insurance and support for prospective mothers.

More than that, I believe the Bible has injunctions to be charitable? Rich men and heaven and camels and needles?

I'm not anti-abortion. But I am against the things that make people feel forced into aborting.

Pro-choice. It's about choice.

exactly, i am pro choice as well, but i despise the fact that women are being forced into having abortions because there is no other way for them to raise a child. their funding getting cut, public assistance programs dying out, even workplace assistance withering because they don't have to give us coverage or help, is pathetic.

at my job we are considering opening a free or low cost day care, for as long as the call center is open and people need their child watched, but it is on hold depending on who wins the election from what i hear. sigh.
