A CULTURE OF LIFE

I really didn't want this blog to get political or religious or any of that crap. Everyone's got their own opinions and it's pretty pointless to try to change people's minds about religion and politics. Plus, if anyone's gonna get on their soapbox it ain't gonna be me. Not because I'm shy or anything, but because I'm not exactly an expert in these fields.

But all this Roe V Wade stuff is getting my hackles up again. I'm pro-choice. I'm not afraid to say "pro-abortion." I know what abortion is and what it does. I don't need to see a picture of an aborted fetus to know it's disgusting-looking. I also know that open-heart surgery is disgusting to look at, but I'm still all for it.

Anyway, if you disagree with me then there's nothing I can do to change your mind.

What I really want to rail against is George W Bush going around saying he wants to promote a "culture of life." What he needs to do is just come out and say he wants to ban abortion. That would be honest and not hypocritical. I could disagree with him and still, perhaps, respect his opinion. But, when this man says he wants to promote a culture of life, I just want to vomit. This is a man who executed 152 people as governor of Texas. Now, I'm not saying I'm against the death penalty. I'm kind of on-the-fence about that one. But don't kill 152 people and then say all life is sacred. As president, this man has caused thousands of people to die in the Iraq liberation. Of course, some of those lives were evil, and you have to break some eggs to make an omelette, right? My point is that if you support a war and the death penalty, then you've got no right to tell me that every single life is a blessing. How in God's name (literally) can you be pro-war and pro-death penalty but anti-abortion? You might say, "because embryos are innocent." Yeah, well a whole hell of a lot of innocent people die in wars, too. You may say that you have to kill some innocents for the greater good. Well, then how can you be against stem-cell research? I don't begrudge anyone their true opinions, I just wish people would think through the logic of their statements.
