- Well, there are some issues I might consider myself on the left of, and
- others I might not. It would depend on the specific issue. As for abortion,
- I am certainly against it.

-
- I oppose abortion because 1) I used to be an unborn child myself
-
- 2) I am a mother myself and know fully
- what it is that abortion destroys
-
- 3) I have seen the photographs of aborted
- children, piles of dead babies, pictures
- so horrible, they can only be called
- a holocaust.

- And you know Kevin, if you are going to object to folks who have
- "religious" reasons for being against abortion, let me suggest that
- you ask them what sort of reason a "religious" reason might be. The
- only religious reason I've ever heard is that human life has value,
- and I think most people would have difficulty arguing with that.
