Abortion 2 (Click for link to article)
This is a follow-up to my first blog. There was a great article on MSNBC.com today about who Bush nominated for Supreme Court and how it's (not) going to affect Roe V. Wade.
This quote from the article should really make you think:
"All the president's talk about a "culture of life'' might even have been sincere up to a point, of course; doesn't everybody think they're for a culture of life?And it certainly did the trick for him. Many people I know—most of them pro-life Catholics who oppose the war and much of the rest of Bush's domestic agenda—felt obligated to vote for the president on this one issue. So will social conservatives now admit they've been had? Probably not. "
And if everybody would realize the following and get on the same page, imagine how much good could happen:
"Good could still come of recognizing the reality that Roe is not going to be overturned—if both sides would only channel all the energy they have so long poured into fighting each other into actually preventing unwanted pregnancies and caring for unwanted children. Plan B, anyone?"

Interesting......
I have to admit I was feeling bad about voting for someone who wouldn't try to appoint someone to overturn Roe vs Wade but it was something I dealt w/because Bush never said he would either. He just wouldn't answer the question. So much for being straightforward. People, just because a guy has an accent doesn't mean he is a down home "good" guy that says it like he means it. Bush has NEVER done that but people just "like" him and think because he is a simple guy that will do the "right" thing (as us Christians would define it), that and they think he isn't capable of screwing up too much. Boy are they/were they WRONG.
Of course these appointees don't seem to make anyone happy. Maybe they'll surprise us? I hope so.
I wish the other guy would have won, but I'm glad I didn't contribute to this goofball getting elected two times.
I'm w/you brother- lets put our efforts into prevention and education. Pregnancy doesn't just happen to people, it can be prevented. Preventing it on a mass scale would mean not having to end a life when you decide the child growing inside you isn't going to fit into your plans.
That's my 2 cents. Address all sides of the problem.
Right On!!!
time for a new topic!
