In the last election, there were ballot measures in Oregon and South Dakota concerning abortion. Niether passed, but it's a start. And the Supreme court will soon be making a decision about partial-birth abortion. This wouldn't have been possible prior to Alito and Roberts being on the court, which was a direct result of Bush being in office. Plus, I can't say I'd be completely comfortable making abortion straight-up illegal for all. I think we need to do a lot more education first. Like this program called "Option Ultrasound". They put ultrasound machines in abortion clinics and give women the option of having an ultrasound prior to deciding to have an abortion. Women who see their babies on ultrasound are far less likely to seek abortions than those without access to such an option. Why? Because it's hard to believe the lie that it's just a clump of cells when it is shaped like a human and has a heartbeat.<br /><br />Just my thoughts, of course :) I've loved following your story through XXXChurch, and am excited to see how God is continuing to work in your life.
