He's not smart enough or right enough to decide for me.

I can't believe the governor of SD just signed a law making abortion illegal except in cases to save the mother's life. WTH? While I am personally against the idea of abortion, I can't imagine forcing a woman to gestate and deliver an unwanted fetus.

The thing that confuses me the most is that this issue is questioning "when life begins," which is a spiritual issue. (I think life = dna + soul. I am not sure when the soul enters the body, but I don't think it happens at conception. Hence, a spiritual question, not a scientific one.) What happened to the idea of separation of Church and State?

I am also personally against: open-marriage, separate checking accounts in a marriage, gambling, bottle-feeding, divorce, spanking, working mothers, motorcycles, alcohol, skipping immunizations, coffee, and many other things, but that doesn't mean I am against their existence for others.

Also, I know how the LDS Church feels about this issue, so I don't need to be reminded. :)
