I fell out of a tree at birth and since that moment I have been irreverently backwards. I took someone else's future and put it on, it fit fine, and so I never gave it back. Sometimes I wonder about them, do they miss that future? It looks better on me.

One day recently I raced a dragonfly. His name was Cuthbert and he claimed to be one of the Elite. Feeling compassionate, and little intimidated, I let him win. Later I discovered he was actually an outcast and I may have even received recognition for humiliating him. Life, right?

Okay. It's been really fun arguing with you. I think that all of this actually built my case up for myself, so next time I'd be grabbed into an abortion argument, I'd have all of my arguments set up before me. I bet it's going to be the same thing with you as well. It's been so much fun. I was actually looking forward to write my next argument And yes, I will challenge myself and see if abortion (or anything else for that matter) makes sense from every angle.
The truth is that I believe abortion is a very complex subject. You need to think about it until you know what you think is right. You also challenged me, and that has made my argument stronger than it was. However, I want you to think about this: you have scientific evidence, and I have scientific evidence. If you believe that abortion is wrong, and I believe that it is right, and we both have the right to our own beliefs, then how come the pro-life side of the kitchen table tries to impose their own beliefs on my beliefs, while my belief respects your belief? Under my belief, you don't have to abort your own child. Nobody has to. Under your belief, nobody can have an abortion. That is absolution. That is absolute power. Monarchy, totalianarism. I disagree with this.
In regards to Obama: no politician would support such a bill if it were clear that abortion rights wouldn't be affected. I mean, the death of a live infant? If it survives out of its mother's womb? That's a human being. Obama clearly saw another agenda in the bill, as do I.
I am very engrossed in current events. I know that Senator Obama is not the perfect choice--but his promise is change, and he has evidence to support that. He is better than any running candidate at the moment. I support all of his policies (except maybe one: the death penalty.) And I am sure Obama is criticized in the same way that any other politician has been criticized. He's no God--I'll give you that--but when he's elected, the bells will surely ring in heaven.
