Of course we do support some causes, but not NEARLY the amount that we should. Our military budget is ridiculous.

So we go from abortion, to our involvement in Iraq and other foreign policy. Did I miss something?

Plus Hans, I don't know if you know this or not, but the world is over populated by a lot. I would rather help a baby that is already alive than tell a woman she has to have a baby she doesnt want, or cant support financially. By banning abortion you would be causing more problems.

Yes, in some countries the world is overpopulated (like China for instance). But did you know that most countries in Europe are actually facing a DECLINE in population? Right now ours remains steady, but only because of immigration.
Besides, I don't that population should have anything to do with killing unborn children. If it really is that big of an issue, we should just let the mothers have their children, then kill them and prepare them as food for starving people around the world, it is much more efficient that way, right?

The whole abortion issue is just something that the right wing implements to grab attention away from other more important issues, and to get the fundamentalists and christians and pro-life people to vote for them.
Same with gay marriage. Hell, Dick CHeney doesnt even agree with a constitutional amendment banning it.
Abortion and gay marriage are distractions from the real issues, pure and simple.

It is only an issue to those it is important to. You may not agree that is an issue, but many people see beyond abortion simply as a "choice". We have only just begun to see the ramifications of large scale abortion in our country, and from what I can see of our country right now, I see a declining birth rate, a dissintegration of family (more single parent homes than ever before) a higher divorce rate, and things such as abortion and gay marriage don't help any of these issues.
