As for Palin's decision, I think it was the wrong one.

It was wrong because Palin is at the age where pregnancies for women
can mean serious trouble, both for the woman and the child that is
born. There's a close connection between Down's syndrome and age of
the mother. After 40, if memory serves, the chances of having a child
with the syndrome rise to better than one in 20. Palin must have
known that risk, and apparently was told she was carrying a fetus
with the syndrome.

She shouldn't have gotten pregnant. It was selfishness. And she
should have aborted the fetus.

There's not a damned thing admirable in her decisions.

It was selfishness.

So to you "Pro-Choice" means, "make the choice we want you to make, or
we'll make it for you." Huh. Sounds a lot like 1930's Germany to me,
or maybe 1940's Soviet Union under Stalin. Let Big Brother take care
of you.

If that's what Obama believes, I want no part of him.

No, being pro-choice means a woman has a choice...Palin made the wrong
choice, but it was her choice to make. That's quite a bit different from
not having a choice. But you righties don't seem to get that difference.

No, you don't get it. I'm pro-choice, but I don't believe in making one
choice easier to make than the other, just because that's the one I
would make. It shouldn't be made easy to get an abortion, any more than
it's easy to have a child. Government should just stay out it.

Being pro-choice to me means the woman has a choice... and no one else
has the right to second-guess the choice she makes. But lefties and
righties alike don't seem to get that. They throw their own agendas at
the poor woman while she's trying to make the most important decision
she's ever likely to make. They have no business doing that. It's HER
choice, not theirs.

I'm a moderate. That means that lefties like you think I'm really a
conservative, and righties think I'm really a liberal. I don't care what
anybody thinks. I do my own thinking.
