Blog for Choice Day!

................... phew - sometimes it is nice to live on the late edge of the world. I don't follow 'the blogophere' - I read Alternet and skim their blog section daily, but I just don't frequent a lot of blogs.

When I was a freshman, I saw a poster for a group called 'Size Oppression Support' and I just had to go. I theorized yelling at skinny women complaining about being small, but as it happened, there was only one other person there, and we really bonded over our mutual size issues. But she was Christian and I was agnostic. In 2000, after the election, she revealed that she voted for Bush because of his stance on abortion. It didn't matter to me though, because Gore won Minnesota.

College continued on and some time in our senior year, the issue of abortion came up again. This time, she defined her opinion as 'personally pro-life, but pro-choice for everyone else,' and wasn't about to support Bush's re-election bid. I was really proud of her.
