1. sex/gender (male, female, transgender... i'd be interested in homo- or hetro too, but that's at your discretion to add.)
Male... hetero.
2. age
22
3. religion (preferably adding how religous/level of practice)
Christian...born Catholic but currently non-denominational... struggling to get my spiritual walk going right.
4. are you pro-choice or pro-life? why?
Pro-choice because I believe that if a woman is raped she shouldn't be forced to carry that pregancy to term... I'm also pro-life because I don't believe that abortion should be used as a means for birth control, and I think that people ought to assume responsibility for their actions when they have sex.
5. do you feel that abortion should be legal or illegal? why?
It should be made legal for certain circumstances (i.e. if a woman gets raped or if the pregnancy could be fatal for her).
6. would you ever consider having one or asking your partner to (if male)? if so, under what circumstances? (edit: possibly clarification made)
If my girlfriend were to get raped I would ask her to have an abortion because she shouldn't have to carry the product of a violation to term. I couldn't love or care for such a child, and I know that its chances for getting adopted would be slim to none.
7. (very optional)if female, have you had one? if male, have you contributed to one?
Nope...

oh, and mods, if you don't think this is the right place, feel free to move as always.

I just think it's stupid how a bunch of people voted Republican a the last election simply based on the issue of abortion or stem cell research. It's one thing to vote for a party (Democrat, Republican, etc.) if you agree with their views and find that most of a candidate's positions on many issues are in accord to yours.... but to vote for someone solely because they
claim to be a born-again Christian or because they don't support abortion and stem cell research is stupid and immature. Such individuals are not fit to live in a democracy and should be stripped of all voting rights.
