As for abortion I'm with the Libertarians - it's none of the governments F'in business (hmm... just like guns).

i used to get so irked at politicians espousing pro-life platforms. and i'd have to say that at those times, i was leaning towards pro-choice. but as i aged and matured, i've come to realize that my backlash against pro-life politicians was not support for abortion, but rather opposition to their taking a stand on an issue which is abso-smackin'-lutely none of their busines. i concur, levelhead.
as it stands, i am pro-republic (bill of rights, constitution, etc.) first and foremost. i look at these issues when voting. do i think abortion is a woman's right? yeah. do i think she should be doing it? no. are there instances where abortion might be (and i hate using this word, but can't think of a better one) acceptable? possibly. is it any of the government's damn business? hardly.
in my mind, abortion is a moral issue, or even a religious one for some. the government has no jurisdiction over these facets of a citizen's life. therefore, there shouldn't even be a pro-life/pro-choice (pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion) issue for the policians.
not to mention that the government has yet to solve any problem its tackled. why would we think that its solutions to abortion would be any different?
