68. Well, think more complexly then.

There are many things in this world I find distasteful, but it recognize that they represent the "least bad" decision. That's called complex thinking. Not to mention, despite my personal beliefs, I recognize that people must be able to control,their own bodies.

As to why I injected my personal feelings? You did it in your OP. You are making a value judgment about the value of abortion itself. That's a personal feeling. I don't happen to agree with it, but I never the less recognize not only the importance of having it available when necessary, but leaving the decision as to when it is necessary to the woman involved, and the advice of those she wishes to involve.

But I do have a personal history with this procedure that I do not wish to discuss right now. May

If you can't accept my support on the issue without insisting that I think it's a good thing, then that's too bad. I will keep supporting pro-choice candidates without thinking abortion is "good."
