It puzzles me that those who feel abortion is morally wrong in all situations cannot use reason or logic to persuade those who believe abortion is a decision best left to a woman and her physician... so they seek to impose their will via new laws and constitutional amendments.

I often wonder, should the Palins and Catholic bishops get their way, what penalties would they proscribe for a woman who violates an abortion ban? Since they seem to believe that life begins at conception and abortion is murder, is a woman who aborts a pregnancy guilty of 1st degree murder - and should she be subject to the death penalty or life in prison? What exactly does the religious right want in this situation?

I'm old enough, barely, to recall coat hanger abortions and the severe mental anguish of unwanted pregnancies. It seems those opposed to abortion under any circumstances think a woman will not suffer severe mental trauma should she be forced to carry a child conceived via rape or incest?

I am not completely pro-choice any time and all the time... there are limits and responsibilities associated with every choice... but I do suspect the anti abortion groups have not thought this issue through.

Then... these same folks run ads claiming Obama's health financing proposals will take away our freedom and allow the government to make our health decisions....

Just random thoughts before the morning coffee kicks in...
