Promise for the Future...

We all have our issues. I mean, the issues floating around society that we are more interested in than the average person.

This is one of mine.

    Yeah, I'm clearly not a fan of Bush's policies on this issue, but I do wish the debate on it went a little differently.

    The real point of debate is when life begins. And when it comes to policy, once you've got one side who thinks life begins at conception and the other side thinks it's sometime later, there's no chance they're going to agree on any sort of compromise in policy.

    I've never thought of this this way before, but I guess it's why this issue is so heated: if you look at something like tax policy, there's a broad spectrum of policy options and it's easy to meet in the relative middle. Whatever you want to call the issue of abortion/reproductive rights, it's much less a spectrum then a small number of points on a very long line.

    This is good news. It's pretty amazing (in an awful way) to read about Bush's women's health policies all together like that, especially refusing to contribute to the UN Population Fund - even if you don't care about women's health, overpopulation is undeniably an issue, why would you fabricate reasons to ignore it? Even in the "when does life begin debate?", population has to be a factor. I can't help but think that pro-choicers might gain more ground framing it that way? I don't know...thoughts?
