I'll keep this short and easy to understand.

I'm adopted. At the point of conception, I was a mistake...a lack of judgement, a moment of passion that turned into a lifetime of regret that a young woman surely wished would just go away.  Look me in the eyes and call my life a waste. A hypocrite I am most definatley. I have chosen to avoid madness and try to be helpful to this tired world in a few areas, but not all of them. As a teacher and counselor, I've hopefully had a positive effect on thousands of lives.  Then there's my three kids. 

I oppose the war, not because I support torture chambers or terrorists, but I hold all life as sacred.  Even very bad people's lives.  In the eyes of many in this world, because I am an American, Christian, Protestant, White, etc. I am bad and must be eliminated.  To support war supports the price on my head.  Therefore, I do not support an act of violence.

The black and white approach of BOTH sides of the war/abortion argument down there are both horribly misguided because there are options.  Help the living to find those options and war/abortion will fade from view.
