Between the lesser of two evils, one must often make an imperfect choice. It's hardly "just" abortion, thats just the best issue encapsulating my view of the two sides. The do-gooder "left" is just that: Do-gooders. I regard them as well meaning but frequently fond of incorrect methodology. Wanting to help the environment, reduce poverty, etc. are GOOD things… just right now sought by less-than-ideal measures. The "Christian right," on the other hand, aren't "do-gooders" but do-as-we-say-ers. They don't seem to have much regard for the immediate good of the real world, only satisfying what they believe to be the whims of a deity. Not going to join either club, but if one only has two choices "have all the fun you want, but we're gonna be jerks about the price" beats "have no fun because the book says so" wins every time. For now.

I realize you don´t really read my comments but let me say one final thing: If you are pro-life it must be a big deal for you on account of your conscience. If you are pro-choice, it should be a total sideshow. After all, abortion is available and not going anywhere. Have you noticed who is running the country lately? With all the bad laws passed unread, if you are still a single issue bore on the issue of abortion, you are most certainly not one of the thinkers. You are driven by anything but rational thought. I will now leave you to wrestle with your demons in private.
