I got hate mail for a college newspaper column I wrote on abortion.  Neither side then or now likes facts they just want to defend a made-up controversy from way back that one party needed to deflect the news to something else.

The bottom line for me is while I do not like abortion, I will not force my feelings on others that I know nothing about their situation.  That is not how I was raised as a Christian, not to force others to conform with my thinking.

I am however pro-education.  If we as a nation would suck it up, make young men responsible for their actions, make both genders have good sex education including reproductive and history information including the horror of abortion you could reduce abortion by as much as 85%. 

That is a fact that has existed for a long time everyone wishes  to avoid.    That said I think Roe v Wade needs upheld strictly on health reasons.  I am from era of back alley abortions that killed lots of ladies.  Neither should have had to die, baby or mom.  But I think some strong common sense regulations need put in place country wide and not longer leave it to the states.

Just a humble opinion.
