The most divisive issue in America

Wow. It has been over 18 months since I last posted. I have been a busy, busy lady but I am ready to spend more time posting about things that matter to me.

First up: abortion. Yeah, I am going there. I just saw a video on YouTube featuring an Indiana Republican suggesting that women would "fake" incest or rape in order to obtain an abortion. Yes, you read that correctly.

No offense, but a woman who would lie about either incest or rape has much bigger issues than simply obtaining an abortion. A procedure which, by the way, is legal in this country as decided by the Supreme Court over 40 years ago.

I can't even come up with the words to express my outrage. How this man could suggest such a thing is not only shameful, but immoral in my opinion. Some people seem to think a woman just decides one day to go get an abortion, much like she decides to go shopping or get a pedicure or color her hair or call her mother. An abortion cannot be an easy choice to make, but it is a choice. A choice for a woman, her partner, and her doctor. It is nobody else's business, so butt out unless you are one of the three aforementioned.
