The next time you hear "pro-life" conservatives talking about family values, remember that the states with the most restrictive abortion laws also have the least supportive programs for families and children.
And this is where I have a huge problem! I am pro-life, period. I stand in opposition to our Democratic party because they want to snuff out life before birth. But I also stand in opposition to our Republican Party, because they want life snuffed out after birth, or else they just don't care who lives or who dies, just as long as they come out of the womb alive. On the flip side, I am pro-choice, meaning that anyone who can make the choice should have the right to die. Since unborn children have no choice, they have the right to live, and anyone born has the right to live a full and healthy life, right up until they themselves make the decision that their life is over or that they are too much of a burden on family, friends and whoever else to keep on living. But that is also not my choice to make for anyone other than myself.
