Please consider that abortion is not birth control. I sincerely wish that this was a question on the poll so that everyone would have to individually take a part in whether children are to be killed or saved. Listen to Pan Stenzel. Her mother was raped and decided to bravely give her life. She was adopted and spends her life talking to teens about abstinence and the also the sanctity of life. She was a beating heart that could have easily been stopped by abortion. How a president views life tells a lot about their entire philosophy. Vote Romney. Do not have completely innocent blood on your hands. Ask any child if they think a mommy has a right to choose the life or death of her unborn child. Yet...then you can tell the child, I have to buckle up for safety in the car...it is the law! No choice there. Life is important I guess...if you are behind the wheel.
