Abortion, which Obama wants to further liberalize, takes thousands more lives in a year than have been lost in the Iraq war.<BR/><BR/>Columnist George F. Will reports: In Britain, more babies with Down syndrome are aborted than are allowed to be born. In America, more than 80 percent of the babies diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are aborted. This is dismaying to, among others, the American Association of People with Disabilities, whose premise is that "disability is a natural part of the human experience."<BR/><BR/>The AAPD worries that increasingly sophisticated prenatal genetic testing technologies will mean that parents who are told their expected babies are less than perfect "will experience pressures to terminate their pregnancies from medical professionals and insurers." <BR/><BR/>Will is right. Prenatal diagnosis amd eugenic abortions undermine human dignity and the sanctity of life. Unacceptable defenseless lives are to be aborted.Alice C.

If you want out of Iraq, McCain will follows Bush's lead. He will also continue to support some of the economic policies that Bush is now infamous for. However, there are other areas where he has rebelled against his own party/Bush to fight for what he thinks is important (immigration law). You have to decide what is important to you.<BR/><BR/>I might have considered McCain if he hadn't chosen Palin for a running mate.Bronwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221439880535435909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222625281347419787.post-84789187104595375552008-10-18T07:04:00.000-06:002008-10-18T07:04:00.000-06:00After listening to the debates and watching Obama ...After listening to the debates and watching Obama move more to the center, I'm considering voting for him. However, I'm nervous about a candidate that is endorsed by the Communist Party, MoveOn.org, and the national-level gay rights activists.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't buy the Dems claim that McCain represents 4 more years of Bush's policies. McCain has made it clear that he is his own man!Alice C. Linsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069827354696169270noreply@blogger.com
