As I'm sure several of you have heard, Dr. George Tiller was shot in his church this morning in Wichita, Kansas. You might have heard, but a suspect was arrested in Gardner, Kansas. The suspect might be from Merriam, Kansas.

I don't like to talk about politics. This is because my family has views one way, and my friends have views another way. I, myself, am a Moderate. Some issues I swing one way, some issues I swing the other.

I believe that abortion should be for cases of rape, or incest. A woman who is in that situation should have the right to decide if she wants to have the child.

However, I do not believe in late term abortion.

That does not mean I think the killing was a good thing. It absolutely wasn't. A person should never be murdered. There is absolutely no excuse for what the killer did. None what-so-ever.

I respect everyone's views, whether they're liberal or conservative, left-wing or right-wing. So please don't hate me for expressing mine.

My take on abortion is that it should be safe, legal, and rare (I think I got that wording from President Clinton, actually), and especially so for late term abortions. That Dr. Tiller was willing to do that -- to help people who, as they saw it, had no other options, and to make an incredibly difficult situation safe -- that I admire tremendously.

(And I could never hate you for having opinions, sweetie. If we all thought the same...the world would be incredibly boring. *hugs*)

And YES for "safe, legal, rare."

"Safe, legal, and rare" sound like good words to me. Thank you for telling me your opinion.

(And thank you, hon. *hugs*

I'm sorry I didn't get to say bye to you yesterday. Beth said, that you were looking for everyone, so I have no idea where I was. I'm glad you made it back home safely, though. Love you, imoto-chan. *hugs again*)
