[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abortion - grew up thinking there was nothing wrong with having one, but now I think [b]it's morally wrong except in the most extreme circumstances like incest rape[/b].  I think in many circumstances an abortion is one of the most cruel and selfish things a woman can do.

Public health care - I think all people should have access to medical care and used to think we needed a UK-style NHS, but working with the VA made me seriously rethink the US government's role ability to run a single payer system.

Gay rights - even in my liberal 80s home growing up my parents (like most I knew in the era) didn't think very highly about gay people and I was very late to the game to support gay marriage and adoption.  I'm now very grateful we have national marriage equality.[/quote]

Wow, this is the only abortion position I DONT understand! How is it so bad to force a raped woman to gestate that you would murder a baby to keep it from happening, but it’s okay to do it if she just got pregnant by accident and doesn’t want to gestate? And why is incest in there at all? The fetus doesn’t know or care about rape or incest? I just don’t get this. Like if the incest is consensual, why does that woman get to have an elective abortion but not other women?[/quote]

I agree. Life is life and making abortion policy/law based off of very rare examples as opposed to the vast majority of abortions which are basically a means of birth control from consensual sex is ridiculous. [/quote]

My post got deleted in the mass deletions from before but I changed my mind completely on abortion. Growing up I was staunchly pro life and have flipped 100%. I don’t think there is anything such as a moral abortion and don’t there anything such as an immoral abortion. There is only the decision to end a pregnancy, in consultation with a medical professional. That’s it. [/quote]
