When it comes to abortion, I’m more often saddened that it’s become a cornerstone of the major parties in this country:  Republicans outright against; Democrats support within reason.  Now, the ugly head of abortion has reared its head and Senator Obama did a poor job of answering a question about limiting late term abortions.  From my point of view, I happen to agree with Senator Obama.  I’m a man, and I’m often pissed by the idea that I have so say in something I helped to create, but I support abortion rights; however, when it comes to late term abortion I think there should be limits based on a medically necessary need.  Those medically necessary needs include clinically diagnosed physical and mental dangers to the mother.  I’m sure that puts me to the right of some Democrats, but in line with average Americans who don’t spend every day of their life thinking about abortion believe on this issue.

That being said, I’m getting angry that Senator Obama can’t answer a question without screwing it up or seeming wishy-washy on the issues.  I’m also disappointed that he used the term “partial-birth” abortion when he should know that it’s a term created by Republicans to make a sometimes necessary procedure sound horrific.  He should know better; the people around him should know better.  Get it together Senator.
