When you start talking about abortion and gay rights, people take that seriously and they're passionate about it - on both sides.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The abortion controversy is important for what it says about our stance toward procreation and children altogether.
I really didn't know there was two sides to the abortion issue.
Some of the folks on both sides might be sincere, but it does seem as if it is only the opposition that cares about the Bill of Rights most of the time.
We're always going to argue about abortion. It's a hard choice and it's controversial, and that's why I'm pro-choice, because I want people to make their own choices.
The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do.
I'm passionate about people. I've spent my life in advocacy. People matter - whether or not we agree on the issue, people matter.
The political Right likes to champion individual rights and individual liberty, but it has also worked to enforce morality in relation to abortion, gambling, and homosexuality.
You can't take people's opinions personally. Usually what people say about it is a reflection of them own issues.
Abortion is part of being a mother and of caring for children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it's not a good idea to bring them into the world.
Abortion is a right I feel must not go away, and I feel like people aren't mobilizing so much because it's so complicated and it's difficult to understand.
