[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 824610, member: 22662"] [b]Re: Obamanomics[/b] I think it is pathetically sad that something as tragic and devastating and serious an issue as abortion is reduced to a political ploy, a pun, or a cartoon. I wonder if and when and how a serious and informed discussion can be had on a subject that I think all sides would like to see reduced to a very small number. The last time I heard something close was Hillary Clinton's aim to make abortion a rare occurance. Personally, I hate abortion. I look back on my past and think of how easily it could have been to say, "kill it. I want nothing to do with it." And I look back at those times and I think 2 things: That decision would have haunted me. And that I am glad that I did not have children back then because I certainly was not ready to be an adult. I don't think that is a decision that comes easily or without consequence for women and I look toward the day when we can make such happenings a thing of the past. I just don't see it happening as long as our thoughts on the subject are aimed more at provoking the other side than to finding more suitable options (adoption) in every single case. And this is not to say that I would tell others to stop saying, posting, or commenting in whatever method they see appropriate. I would just rather see people working together to solve the problem. Babies and kids are just too incredibly cool. [/QUOTE]
