29. For me, it's the right of choice.

I will NOT vote for any politician who is not in agreement that women should have the right to control their own bodies.

That's my own, personal, line in the sand. And I honestly don't know WHY that is it for me, but choice speaks so much about personal freedoms. To me, I guess it's simply the absurdity of someone else trying to tell a woman that she HAS to bear a child if she chooses not to.
