He explains about how he could have been pro-choice, and then what made the change (along with some other interesting topics, like the 2nd coming... maybe you listened to it?). But his simple explanation was that he believes his personal/religious views should not be imposed on everyone. He gave one example of the word of wisdom. Just because he is a Mormon, and therefore believes drinking is wrong, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to make it illegal and wrong for everyone to drink. There is still an element of choice and an acknowledgement of different beliefs. I don't agree with that argument completely in terms of abortion, but I can see how it would make sense. He is pro-life, but doesn't believe abortion should be regulated at the federal level. <BR/><BR/>At cnn.com, you can go to their election center and under "issues" there is a list of the issues and what each candidate (from both sides) says. <BR/><BR/>Probably didn't help a bit. I too am struggling with who to vote for on Sunday. To me it's between Huckabee and Romney (Huckabee was out for me for a while, but really redeemed himself at the last debate. Romney was it for me for awhile, but really lost some points in my eyes in the last debate). <BR/><BR/>While we're being open about political convictions... if it comes between Obama and McCain, I'm voting for Obama (I was impressed with the last debate... and he paid tribute to President Hinckely... something he didn't have to do, but a mark of great character I think). If it's between McCain and Hillary... I'm moving to Canada :)<BR/><BR/>JennyJen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294119389013592501noreply@blogger.com
