sulwenGo watch what McCain said in the debate about health of the mother as it pertains to abortion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGZOyxfiNoU&feature=user
This makes me mad. Really mad. As in, if I had been supporting McCain on everything else up to this point, that would have been a deal-breaker right there. To clarify: abortion has never been a big issue to me. I would most likely never have one myself, but I think it should be a personal decision. But I keep putting myself in this position...if I'm lying there in the hospital and they tell me that I have to abort the child or die, it is my right to be able to make that choice. Because I choose me. I don't want a ban passed by some old man who will never, ever have to deal with this issue personally to take that right away from me. I can't even believe that McCain said that. I hope this gets the outrage it fucking deserves, because seriously. I'm like the anti-feminist, and this made even me want to go out and start screaming.
