Rant rant rant...

I have a friend whose facebook status right now is "...figures that if Obama says that protecting abortion will be the very first thing he supports as president, then it's a big enough issue to base a vote on."

She's right. Even if she's on the other side of it. Reproductive health care availability IS a big issue.

I would love to leave a message under her status saying the following:

"You're damn right, it's an important enough issue to base your vote on. I'm sick and tired of the Republican party telling me that I'm not sovereign over my own body. You let the government run all over your rights if you want to, but I'll be voting for Obama in large part *because* he thinks that protecting my right to abortion is a legislative priority."
