Domestic Issues - Abortion Make abortion undesirable by providing healthcare, family planning services, well-managed adoption programs, education and child care, a living wage, and justice. Offer your hand, and people will choose life. As for moral edge-cases like the doctor saving the mother's life, we support the right of human beings to make difficult decisions in service of life to the best of their abilities when those decisions are presented by the face of death. Outside of these cases, regardless of our individual views on personal rights, we maintain that abortion is never a good choice in the wealthiest country in the world. We believe it is possible to construct a society in which abortion is not absolutely prohibited by law, but no one wants one. We seek to resolve real-world problems to decrease demand for abortion, and not to divide people with our religious views. Subscribe to Posts [Atom]

We must have faith in this regard that love and law will be written in the hearts and minds of the people, and when offered positive options, freedom for and from tradition and each other, and a deep reflective education, we will choose wisely.
jokers to the right
When people concede to government the power to regulate love and their decision to have a child, the principles of such a government no longer value sanctity of life, so in that direction, they are always out of line with the principles of the people. If the United States travels down that road and over an indeterminant threshold, the government would no longer need the pretense of abortion to exercise absolute power. Those who offer you the idea of power to regulate the beginning of life will not let you have any once you give it to them — they wish to regulate all life, and yours. It is a lie and a ruse; this power can never belong to any government in a way that does not cripple its own peoples' hearts and minds.We must have faith in this regard that love and law will be written in the hearts and minds of the people, and when offered positive options, freedom for and from tradition and each other, and a deep reflective education, we will choose wisely.
