I'm completely pro-choice, which is not to say I'm pro-baby killing (as I've been accused of before).

I do not consider anything without as personality to be a person. People in vegetative comas? Not people. Fetuses? Not people. "Kill" any of them, and I will not consider that murder.

I also believe in a strong separation between church and state, which is sorely lacking in American socitety. The United States has reached a sort of pseudo-theocracy, which is representative of a radical Christian sect that by all appearances is striving to dismiss the Constitution and basic civil liberties and inalienable rights as a means of strengthening their hold over the government and the institutionalization of the bible.

This directly relates to the pro-life movement, as they claim god should have the right to decide life and death, while they live hypocritical lives, sinning on a daily basis as well as waging wars without provocation. Hell, how many "good Christians" have sex out of wedlock, and how many of them become pregnant, and suddenly do "the right thing?" A lot.

Should abortion be used as a contraceptive? No. Girls need to learn to keep their legs together and along with guys, they need to learn self control. Should abortion be illegal? No. There are always cases in which abortion is the best for all parties. If a woman cannot support a child, she shouldn't have one. Adoption is a terrible option. There are far too many children up for adoption as it is, and there's no reason to add to the numbers, causing smaller and smaller precentiles to actually be adopted. What if the pregnant woman's health is at risk? Do you let her die? What about rape?

The entire notion of letting a fictional novel dictate society and lives is ridiculous. Let people decide their own lives.
