It is a matter of morality, of love, of what makes me the person I am. And what sickens me along with the anti-choice flame wars that arise around this issue is the domination and entitlement of the anti-choice right over the word "moral". Fuck that shit.
Exactly! I think it's time to retake that word 'moral' because it belongs to us as well. They've used it to beat us black and blue for years and I'm fucking tired of it. And for what it's worth, I think it's even more remarkable that you can come to your beliefs despite your upbringing. My parents were raised by racist, homophobic, anti-choice fundamentalists and I thank ghod every day that they managed to break away and raise me in a home full of queers, pro-choice freaks and minority lovin' liberal intellectuals.
Also, my fear of regulation comes from the fact that regulation typically equals restriction. But I'm all for a Choice Amendment.
