I thought Obama was touting personal responsibility. That means wear a condom or use something else.

Exactly. What the pro-life crowd won't acknowledge is that back in the 1960's, a number of Catholic priests were passionate that abortion be made legal in order to prevent the atrocities that were being performed by non-medical personnel. Those priests had it right, they also saw the human carnage of children growing up in grinding poverty and despair, made all the more worse if they were unwanted to start with, and thus often severely abused.

Abortion is a woman's right! Not only that but it benefits society by keeping the population manageable (why the Chinese like it) and by keeping crime and welfare cost down.

We all need a candidate who is staunchly pro BIRTH CONTROL! It should be free and readily accessible to everyone. Voluntary sterilization should be openly discussed and made more affordable and accessible to those without insurance. The major issue of over population should be recognized as a major global concern and smaller families should be advocated. This is just common sense. And these are the issues that should be discussed.

Has McCain touched on pregnancy prevention at all? Of course not. He voted against requiring insurance companies to cover birth control though they cover Viagra! If the abortion issue was important to McCain at all, he would make some effort to get legislation passed that would minimize the # of unwanted pregnancies. I'm not holding my breath....Just more of the same.

How about after the second spawn (everybody gets credit for one mistake) on the tax payers dime the parent gets fixed? Gotta start somewhere, you asked for suggestions.

Unlike Bush I'm sure Obama knows when to pull out.
