i need to move.

to a state where this doesn't happen...where it's not even considered simply because it's that ridiculous.

i'm sure i'll hear crap about how wrong i am to disagree with this...but really, this guy is going to try to ban abortion in utah?

let me be clear. i, Jaycie Leishman, could never have an abortion. because of the way my tender heart functions, i would not (and could not) do it. i'm not saying that everyone is or should be like me though. and i'm certainly not going to force my personal belief on them.

that interview makes me sick. seriously, you're going to teach abstinence-only sex education? you're not going to teach about any kinds of contraceptives or prevention of STDs? i can't even begin to imagine the logic behind that one. "Maybe if we don't bring it up, they won't get any big ideas about trying it!" or, "Maybe if we don't talk about the ins-and-outs (no pun intended) about sex, they won't be able to figure it out."

sorry guys, but it's 2011. i promise you they figured it out. they figured it out as seven-year-olds, when they saw Titanic for the first time without their mothers covering their eyes.

what about the women who end up pregnant because they were raped? they have to carry about baby for nine months, being constantly reminded of the worst night of their life?
what about the 17-year-old who's too scared and confused to tell her parents that she's carrying the baby of the 23-year-old boyfriend who told her he loved her, only to dump her after hearing the news? she's going to have to sit across the table from their "I told you so," glances every day?

no. i'm sorry, but no. it's not as simple as people make it out to be...
