Jumping on a Soapbox

Let's take a pause from food to think about the upcoming election. Yes, everyone's talking about it, I have plenty of my own opinions to spout, but few things get stuck in my craw like people talking about banning abortion. This article sums up my thoughts quite eloquently.

Bottom line is this: life will throw more medical curveballs at people than the government can ever dream up. Therefore, a grown woman should be trusted to have enough brains to decide with her doctors what is best for her and her baby, and the government should stay out of her craw.

Nobody is "pro-abortion." Calling anyone that is deely insulting, as is insinuating that there are vast numbers of women out there asking for abortions on a whim. I have never heard of a woman who got an abortion simply because she felt like it--have you?
