Poor Not Me. Unable to deal with a world in which critical decisions are, indeed, very difficult. And unwilling to acknowledge with most of the rest of us, on both sides of the aisle, that these are issues and decisions that must be struggled over and where, for many of us, some level of judgment and decision must be left outside of the government's hands, even in cases where we ourselves may have strong views.
This discussion yet again pushes me more toward the pro-choice, and makes me more wary of investing the state with the decision, even though I find the idea that a three month old fetus would be aborted by someone fully capable of caring for him or her attrocious, and even though I find tragic the idea that some child may be aborted because it is "imperfect" overwhelmingly tragic.
