We did not have a referendum on the death penalty, to clear that up, Pete.

So who's pro-abortion? Not me, not anybody else I know. The only right side to be on is the side that says lay off, it's her body, you have no say and it's up to her to choose.

And to say that women should exercise more control, more responsibility, should realise tbe consequences, etc., is simply heinous and wicked. The very same sanctimonious, misogynistic bastards who purport to oppose abortion also often oppose proper sex education, education for relationships and the sanctioning of effective methods of birth control, let alone instruction about it. The big religions are actually the champions of abortion. Without their baleful influence we could get started on the kind of truly effecfive public education that could reduce abortion to a vanishingly small phenomenon. Oh, and striving for equality for women and for an end to poverty would help as well. All too many people, many dressed in religious garb, are all too ready to blame vulnerable women whilst at the same time presiding over their own blatantly misogynistic and blinkered institutions. If Jesus was alive today he'd be turning in his grave.
