(and thank you, I thought the avatar was quite good)

No, i didn't mean that he was necessarily flip-flopping on it ~ he's voted pro-choice enough to let folks know where he stands. But read this:

Undecided on whether life begins at conception
Q: Do you personally believe that life begins at conception?
A: This is something that I have not come to a firm resolution on. I think it's very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when the soul stirs? So I don't presume to know the answer to that question. What I know is that there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that that has a moral weight to it that we take into consideration when we're having these debates.

Okay. So, he's undecided, and he thinks about it.

All i was trying to say was that if someone thinks life might begin at conception, it is horrifying that they would vote to allow late term Partial-Birth abortions, when they KNOW that baby is alive and kicking ~ regardless of whether it's attached to something else, or not. Since teenagers seem to be able to cross state lines at will for abortion, i imagine a doctor, with a patient in the dire straits suggested, could make arrangements for a patient to go to another state for that. (Yes, i realize that scenario is ridiculous, but it's also true.)

Also, he was also a Christian for what? 20 years? How many Christian people do you know that believe abortion is 'right?'

It's just mystifying to me, was all.

ps. It's too cool ~ i saw it, when i was getting my Pot poster pix, and thought of you, INSTANTLY! lol uhh, in a GOOD way!
