[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t believe abortions are good, I think they are horrible and I do believe life begins at conception. However I have had an abortion. I also recognize that my opinion on abortion is just that, an opinion and I respect that other people do not share it at all. I also believe that stem cell research is amazing and support the idea. This is me, a basic nobody out on internet land.

My sincere hope is that ACB is a sleeper for justice and not just a trump crony, that will do the right thing *if* she is confirmed. Something about her persona is authentic, other pieces she is throwing game out that people are falling for.

I’m more angry about the forced timing of this and Amy refusing to allow a confirmation. She would have garnered much more support from voters post-election if she showed that integrity. Right now, integrity is a trait so rare in politics, it is a soothing balm to our scorched skin.

Her words on the bench seem fair. My conflict: Is it possible to trust anyone from Trump? That is honestly the major bias I have against her. Is this someone that would remove my right to draw the line on what is acceptable or not in MY body? Why her and why now?

Life may begin at conception for some, but viability doesn’t occur until at least 24 weeks. There is no social security number assigned to a child in my womb. Opinions on abortion will always be controversial, as well as birth control.

A separation of church and state is critical. Can she uphold that?

I don’t know. These are interesting times.[/quote]

She's signed her name to multiple declarations that life begins at conception and that abortion is murder. I don't see how someone could put those deeply-held beliefs aside. Looking forward to the Democratic Senators drilling down on that.[/quote]

Well, I am someone that feels that way and again, I had an abortion. I also feel that way, and believe all women have a right to an abortion and birth control. I also know others who feel that way and support abortion and planned parenthood. People are complex. Religion and reality don’t always reconcile accurately in politics. Just because I believe a spiritual principle does not mean that I expect it to be legislated in law for a melting pot of American diversity.

That is why the separation matters. That is why my questions are what they are. I do believe if I can set it aside, others can. Is she one of those? That is what I don’t know, and that is the concern colored by Trump and his covid party forcing this through in the most unAmerican way.[/quote]

Have you publicly signed several declarations that abortion is murder?[/quote]
