American politics just got a little more interesting again.

Now there's Palin. Big strong woman in politics, that definitely managed to charm me a bit, but whom to my great horror is pro-life. Now I'll freely admit that I admire her for sticking with her beliefs when she had to face that choice herself, but the thing is: Will she now get to make that choice for other women too? How much power does a VP have anyway? How far do her views on this go or McCains for that matter?

A pro-life friend stated that a pro-choice VP would be just as upsetting for a lot of pro-life women as Palin is to me right now. But the thing is: Under no circumstance could a pro-choice politician make me give up my baby. That choice is mine. A pro-life politician on the other hand WANTS to take that choice away from me! Now honestly I don't know if I would have an abortion if I got pregnant at this point. Probably not. But that doesn't mean I'll give up my right to choose!

You could argue that this isn't my problem, since I'm not American, but here's to a little solidarity amongst women.

Discusion welcome as long as it's civil. Otherwise I'll be closing this one down.
