Financial Shakeup this weekend

[emayer]

This issue unfortunately strikes close to home.  I am blessed to have 2 young healthy and vibrant children, but my wife and I were forced with the wrenching decision of performing a later-term abortion during her first pregnancy.  The problem was that the fetus was diagnosed with a severe cardiac issue which would have meant a limited survival even if the baby made it to term.  We agonized over this decision, but ultimately felt that the burdens of this child's suffering, and strain on my wife would be too much.

As a result, while I abhor the thought of abortion for mere social inconvenience, I do think remains the ultimate right of a woman.  Let the individual wrestle with and face the moral consequneces of their actions.  I do agree however that this topic should have no place in the political arena.  It's use serves only to distract us from the other difficult issues at hand.
