Issue Number one can take a new number

I hate abortion....

now before I get pro choice folks on my ass let me elaborate. I hate the ISSUE of abortion. It is a meaningless, pointless debate. I say this as a future father, in a country with an economy in the toilet, free speech constantly under attack by our government and our peers, war, strife, disease, poverty, and the Icecapades... I just do not see how and why this issue is the on e thing that will sway the vote of so many individuals.

The issue of abortion and its legality in this country is a distraction, and one that has been exploited by both political parties since the 1960s. there is some sort of delicious irony that the Republican party, who has an undeserved reputation of being uncaring about the poor, constantly wanting to wage war and kill criminals, is on the pro life side; and the Democratic Party who is known irresponsibly for being a peace loving humanitarian lot, favor a position that arguably eliminates human life.

and there foot soldiers in this little "culture war"... I do not care what side of the debate I look at, I see a bunch of rabid, dry eyed, shuffling idiots who drool out talking points without bothering to research what they believe. sometimes it is religious, sometimes political, very rarely you will find someone who knows two things about ethics, and forms their opinion on that.

Yet not one person, on either side of this 40 year old poo-flinging, can explain to me how permitting or denying Suzie Q. Knockedup to terminate an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy is a national emergency, worthy of IMMEDIATE action by my nations federal government above all other concerns. Not one.

It is not that I do not care about the issue. I have my own opinions and beliefs, and I keep them to myself. I do not demand people remain silent on the issue either. what I ask is some logic and reason behind why you believe the way you believe.
