(536 posts)58. Bravo!
I've not yet had the courage to say to anyone yet, but much like you, I feel I will be able to face judgement day with a fairly clean (well I did attend college and all that) conscience. I voted for Kerry/Edwards in part because I knew Bush/Cheney etc were murderers and responsible for upwards of 250,000 innocent deaths. How in the hell any Christian could vote for them 2004 is beyond my comprehension.
(I did have an abortion confrontation one time. Someone said I was pro abortion. I said, yippee, I love abortions so much let's all have one!!! The look I got....lol.... then I explained just like you did, no one is pro abortion, but rather pro choice, and the conversation went along the same lines as yours)
