OK, so I'm still tinkering with which of our 7 Great Dems to vote for Tuesday... and, in the mail I get a barrage of literature that portrays Obama as unwilling to commit to a woman's right to choose whether and when she should become a mother. That he had the opportunity to protect a woman's right to choose -- 7 times -- and declined to do so.
I'm sorry. If you can't stand up for a woman's right to choose, you don't deserve to represent Democrats in Illinois in the Senate.
Abortion matters: it is a matter of being able to choose the appropriate health care among legal options; it is a matter of who determines your destiny; it is a matter of what you can do to your body; and, of all political issues, it is among the most profoundly personal.
You can be anti-choice for a variety of issues, none of which I'm comfortable with. You can be apathetic, especially if you are male, but anyone who is, I'm not comfortable with. Regardless of whether or why, I am no longer comfortable with Obama and will actively advocate a VOTE AGAINST BARAK OBAMA.
I'm taking his literature out of my store, and I'm down to the 6 left standing.
