^Quite interesting in regards to how important intelligence is over religious faith...
Bush is a man who invaded a country because he claims God told him to. I have nver herd such BS. He is a man who brings in the kindergarten cop to get votes. Never have I seen such BS. And he's a world leader, it's a sad sad time for this world.
And with the whole "abortions should be illegal", yeah they sometimes should. But in some circumstances it would be far better off (for every one).
Wow, that link is really interesting.. it turns out that of people who found honest/trustworthy most important, 70% voted Bush!
No way!
And I don't see why so many people are against abortion. I mean, the world is getting crowded, and those babies are unwanted anyway. And about it being murder -- who cares? Africa is full of people we are just letting to starve. And America has the death penalty, as Cookie said. IMO, letting people starve in Africa is closer to murder than abortion.

Teen Pregnancy, Slavery, and Prostitution
The most common form of prostitution in America isn't street walkers or escort services. The most common form of prostitution are young unwed mothers who have to do whatever it takes to find food and shelter for their children. If a woman without skills and family support is stuck trying to earn a living and support the children, she has few options. She is forced to find a man to move in with to take care of her and her kids. In order to get a man to do this, she has to have sex with him and be his personal slave so that she can survive. In many cases, she has no choice. Our society seems to find this acceptable. I don't. An abortion can prevent a teenager from having their lives ruined by an untimely pregnancy and allow them to finish school, learn a trade, and select the mate they want rather than being stuck with the first guy who comes along. Abortion liberates women from the life of a whore/slave and allows her to control her own life and decide for herself when and with whom she will have children.
