Re: ARGH! (none / 0)

I disagree... Abortion is a noise topic... those for outlawing it are a big minority.  Over 60% of Americans support a right to choose.  I think framing it as a privacy issue is the right call. Overall, it is not the issue the majority of us vote on.  That would be economy, security/defense, and educational issues, and maybe healthcare costs which is economic anyway.  Form your position (for or against and to what degree), form your rationale (Women should choose, Privacy, Moral issue, whatever) and then don't dwell unless the audience you are address demands it.  

As a moral issue, I say look at the old testament and see exactly what the penalty is for causing a miscarriage.  It isn't death... it was monetary.  If you killed the mother though, that was death.  The value was placed on the person who was born, not the unborn child.  So if we are using the bible as a moral barometer, lets have some perspective.  

I believe it is in Leveticus, which they cite as condemning homosexuality... these hypocrites need to take it all literally or not at all... they should not pick and choose to fit their agenda.
