I used to really be on the fence with this issue. I have a strong libertarian leanings. Right now, I think each state should decide their abortion laws.

That said, if I was a state rep in Michigan, and would have the chance to vote for a total ban for abortions, would I do it. Yes I would.

Two things really influenced it for me. The first was these photos. I remember Lady GOP posting a couple on FR. Those were disturbing and blunt, but it really did get me off the fence.

The other was that I was born 3 months early. I read a couple of news stories of 6-9 month abortions. I was born 6 months in, and lived. I barely made it as I was 2lbs 15 oz when I was born, but I did make it. I could have possibly been a victum of chance.

My mother is a strong hardline pro-lifer and is nearly a single issue voter on that issue. I think I understand why.

Being a fellow Libt., I know where you're coming from. From a constitutional perspective, I think Roe v. Wade ought to be overturned. It's a state issue.
