| I'm technically a pro-choice conservative, inasmuch as I wouldn't put someone in jail for having an abortion. But I am for surrounding the subject of abortion with as much reality as possible: that it is taking a life, that it is a tragedy. As a conservative I know that tragedy is an inescapable part of the human condition and cannot be avoided. But we should be aware of it. I would make abortion a solemn, serious, and sad occasion. |
