See, that's logical. I have no problem whatsoever with people believing that abortion is the taking of a life; I can see how that point of view is valid.
But I think people get way too focused on the battle to make other people think or act they way they would, and they lose sight (or for some, always were pretty damned blind) of the ideal here -- improving human life, compassion, care.
It's awfully damned easy to espouse a yes/no, right/wrong POV. All you have to do is scream. It's way harder to think about grey, and what to freakin' do when life complicates things.
No one thing/decision is going to be correct for every person every time. And that goes way beyond the whole abortion debate. People want things to be simple, and it just...ain't. No amount of hollerin' will change that.
I love you all. And javachik, I've had the same qualms about swearing and then realize that the thread is called Bitches.

Oh, no. It is.
Ha!
I would love to say I'm anti-abortion. Because I'm not all "yay, abortions for everyone!" The language is pretty weird. I wish everyone could just agree to do things that are actually helpful in reducing the number of abortions. It would make the world a little bit simpler.
Yeppers.
BTW, does anyone have -t's email addy? A thread search is proving to not be helpful, and I need to email her.
Grazie!
EDIT: Got it! Thanks!
Rare, safe, and legal. Pro choice. That's me.
My phone interview today went pretty well.
Hil that sounds very promising! Hopefully "over qualified" means top of the list. Sounds like a good plan, and glad the interviewer agrees.
So if the lawmakers in OK and AZ got together, would they still want every undocumented pregnant person to keep her baby? And have it born on American soil?
Oh My God that is the most perfect snipe I have ever heard. Can I put that in my FB? You should send that to Daily Show.
WOOOHOO!!! I'm Number One!! flashes patented #1 sign around
Ms Empress, far be it for me to point out proper etiquette to someone as esteemed as you, but the custom for flashing the #1 sign is to use the POINTER finger, not the middle. K. Thanks. Mwah!
