some politician some day

i am against abortion. i want to be very clear on this. i believe every abortion is a failure of leadership and a failure of society. like my opponent, i believe the ideal abortion rate in this (city, county, state, country) is zero. where my opponent and i differ is how to get there. they want to criminalize abortion and make it illegal and punishable by prison time. they want to make a horribly desperate situation more horrible and more desperate.

but there are policies that will bring the abortion rate down, and are proven to work. i’m talking about education, access to birth control, and community health clinics. these policies work. we have the data. but teaching abstinence only, making birth control harder to obtain and closing community health clinics is not just counterproductive to the goals they claim they want to achieve…it’s just cruel.

i am against abortion. There are humane ways to reduce them in our community dramatically.
