Reply #20: Always have been pro-choice politically.....

[Indiana_Dem]

I grew up in a household that believed in pro-choice. I grew up in the 70s during the ERA and women's lib movement era. So I have stuck politically with what I've been taught. However, as I've grown older and especially since I've had a child, I wouldn't choose it as an option PERSONALLY now but I still believe it should be the woman's choice no matter what POLITICALLY and LEGALLY. I became born-again and realized that abortion is harming another not to mention the emotional turmoil the mother has to live with the rest of her life. We all grow and learn at different rates and this should be considered. I don't believe in government funding of abortions, though. It should be strictly left out of funding just as federal funding for religious organizations should be. I don't want to feel responsible for funding someone else's actions that are contrary to my beliefs.

If Roe vs. Wade was ever overturned they better make sure they are ready to take care of these children and their mothers. That's what I don't understand about the religious right, that they don't want to allow abortion yet they want to cut every social and educational program that would help all of the unwanted children that would be born. Utterly ridiculous.
