Since you quoted me, twice, I guess I should respond. To answer your questions of my views:
Yes, I would work to keep the torture of a five-year-old or any person illegal. In fact, I’ve worked to fight against the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo bay and elsewhere. To me there is no parallel between the two. BTW, being pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. When I found myself in a crisis pregnancy at the age of 18, I made a different choice; but I would never force my views of what is right, wrong and viable on another woman. I also don’t believe that first trimester abortion is torture to an unborn fetus and YES I do believe it is a woman’s right and is a choice between a woman, her doctor and her god. The beauty of choice is that you never have to have one if you choose not to.
Question back at you: Where in the bible does it talk specifically about abortion? And, if you follow ALL the teachings of the bible, do you also believe in stoning a woman to death that has sex prior to marriage? (OK, I feel ridiculous even typing that statement…but still)
I also don’t vote for my pocketbook over the life of a child. I am for health care for all children, a stance that many on the right do not believe in. I work towards better early education and intervention. I volunteer my time and my money at the local level to build houses for those that can’t afford them.
I also understand that Roe v. Wade was a very complicated and controversial case but feel free to educate me. And frankly, I could care less that Ms. McCorvey changed her view; that is her right. Had she not come along, another Jane Roe would have as more women became butchered by back alley abortionists.
