I Changed my mind, I will talk about the election

Okay, I know I said I would only talk about the election with a few select people. But after watching this video and reading information regarding McCain and Obama on the websites of the National Right to Life Committee, NOW and Planned Parenthood I just had to say something. In none of the debates or the Saddleback Forum (which was a billion times more interesting than any of the debates)was it mentioned that Obama promised Planned Parenthood in 2007 that the first thing he would do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. This would invalidate restrictions on abortion now in place including parental notification laws. This is a direct quote from the National Organization of Women's website: "FOCA prohibits states from enacting laws intended to deny or interfere with a woman's fundamental right to choose abortion. Minors have long been included within the protections of Roe. Parental consent or notification statutes have been used as a tool to deny access to abortion services for minors. When such laws deny or interfere with the ability of minors to access abortion services, they would violate FOCA." We could soon be living in a country where your 12 year-old can get an abortion and you would never know. But then again PARENTAL CONSENT STATUTES HAVE BEEN USED AS A TOOL TO DENY ACCESS TO ABORTION FOR MINORS.Can you believe this?? You would think that most parents would be outraged by a statement like this even if they are pro-choice (pro-abortion). There is so much left to say on this subject so feel free to leave comments. Here is a question for you: WHO will YOU choose as our next president???
