Before I talk about the Democratic candidates…

I was walking down the street to go the library. Apparently, yesterday the Colonials For Life wrote messages on the sidewalk in chalk with Pro-Life messages…stuff like “3 times more African-Americans have abortions than caucasian women.” Well, tonight as I was walking, the “Stand Up For Choice” group was writing over and around the Colonials For Life groups messages. One of the messages in particular caught my attention: “Pro-Child, Pro-Family, Pro-Choice.” I asked the person, presumably the leader of the group, what the message meant. Her response was, “Well, it’s just meant to show that the three aren’t incompatible.” I said, “Well, how can you be pro-child.”

“Well, people on the other side say pro-choicers ‘hate babies’, this is just to show that you can like babies and protect a women’s right to choose.”

“Oh, so you like babies when they’re out of the womb.”

“Yes, when they’re not fetuses.”

Now you can be pro-choice, and I could respect that. I was pro-choice up to a month ago. Of course, I’d respect it. But your argument can’t be that pro-choice is pro-family, or that pro-choice is pro-child. That’s nonsense.

“…when they’re not fetuses.”

C’mon…so is a 3 month premature baby still a fetus for three months? Such hogwash.

I saw Barney Frank speak last night. He’s a knowledgeable, not-so-crazy guy. I don’t agree with him on the social issues, but I’m not a Democrat because of the social issues. I’m a Democrat on the issues that comprise 99.9% of policymaking.

I don’t think I’m going to have time to do all the Dem candidates, but I’ll try.  I have rehearsal in 15 minutes…ehhh I think I’m gonna go practice…Ya’ll will have to wait. Sorry!
