A Culture of Life

Is McCain-speak for overturning Roe V. Wade.

Culture of life? Is it a culture of life to continue a war that was started on false intelligence?

Or to cut funding for a center that helped teenage moms like his VP did?

Or make women pay for their own rape kits?

Or follow the direction that other countries without abortion have and make it so difficult for women to get abortions that even when medically needed doctors refuse to perform abortions for fear they will be fined or jailed?

What is so scary about McCain is that he could care less about human life. He admitted in a 1997 interview with 60 minutes to killing innocent women and children in Vietnam, to being a war criminal. More then a decade later he is now calling himself a war-hero to win an election.

In the last debate he put women's health in air quotes when referenced to abortion. A culture of life according to McCain would put women's health back a century to where it would be once again laughable to mention it.

Pro-Choice

Submitted by Ning on December 20, 2008 - 4:34am.

I am so scared for the well being of women in this country. Even though we dodged a bullet in electing Obama, we still need to worry about the recent law passed by Bush on abortion and contraception. Why is the government poking its head into our uteruses? How can they rationalize their presence there at all? I think that McCain and all of his "pro-life" buddies need to step back, separate their church from their decisions, and think about what their perception of "pro-life" really means for women.

The real question

Submitted by Ari Mizuko on December 23, 2008 - 3:45am.

The problem with the war on life or choice is that in order to grant and/or protect the rights of one party, rights must be taken from the other party. So who has more rights? A woman, who doesn't want a baby because it is inconvenient, or cannot afford it, or a child, who cannot even stand up for his or her own life, and has done nothing except exist? Yes, many Pro-life voters do oppose choice because of religious views, but isn't all life valuable, religious or not?
What is absolutely intolerable are the women who DO choose to have a baby, and then leave it in a trash bin.

Ari Mizuko, your right, all

Ari Mizuko, your right, all lives are valuable no matter what religion you believe in or even if you don't believe in religion. However, I believe the life of a woman is more valuable then the fetus that could become a human being inside her. For that reason I have to support a woman's right to abortion. It isn't my place to judge a woman's reason, like if it is for convenience (although abortion is anything but convenient) or because of money.
