Re: [Dems2008] Re: Being Liberal

I don't think men should really have much say so about
a woman's uterus at all. If they took responsibility,
abortions wouldn't be necessary in the first place,
and birth control is so easy that it shouldn't be an
issue and probably really isn't at the end of the day.
And if your friend is real anti-gay, he probably has a
wee bit of a problem with his own sexuality. People
tend to be the most against what they fear about
themselves i.e. Larry Craig and all those other gay
married republicans. If he's more worried about what
people do with their own bodies than he is about
supporting his own family, then dayum he's a perfect
republican and nothing will change his mind.
