An open letter to my conservative friends,
I just ran across this quote...
And I'd just like to comment. When your political leaders talk like this, do you understand that to the great majority of Americans they make it appear as if all of you have an IQ that rises no higher than a pro-golfers score on a good day on an easy course? Why do they say things this dumb?
We liberals do not feel this way - we do not like to see abortions used freely and liberally. We much prefer that contraception be easily available so that abortions are not needed as often. But we respect women - our mothers, sisters, and friends - who sometimes need to make difficult decisions regarding their own health and welfare. It is not up to YOU to decide what is right for them and what is not.
And the saddest part of banning abortions, as this nation learned over a long period in it's history - is that banning legal abortions won't stop abortions - it is going to drive them back underground, back into illegal butcher shops - where our women may lose their lives or their reproductive organs to someone without the skill and proper tools to do the job.
Shame on your for your ignorance, conservatives. Shame on you.
