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.

The righties want to eliminate that "choice" for the woman. The lefties
want her to be able to have that choice. Period.

If you believe in choice, why shouldn't it be easy to obtain an abortion?

I already answered that question. Re-read the sentence where I said it
shouldn't be made easy and you'll see it. The choice should not be
artificially weighted by government in one direction or another, either
pro- or anti-abortion. Government should stay out of it, period.
Government-sponsored free abortion-on-demand is just as wrong as forcing
the birth of the product of rape or incest. It should be left to the
people involved, not the heavy hand of government.

That's why it's called "choice." Your definition shows you do not
support choice. You support abortion.
