Alright, what should the first issue be?
Abortion? Death penalty? Gay marriage? Foreign policy?
Bring it on

I would never get an abortion, even if I were raped. However, I don't think that I have any right to decide whether or not someone else does.
As for the life argument, no one can really say when life actually begins. If it begins at conception, then yes you're killing a human life. If it begins when the baby is born, then that means that someone could punch a pregnant woman in the stomach and kill her baby and it wouldn't be considered murder, which I think it would be.
I support the right to choose, but I also think that having an abortion will create horrifically bad karma.
What's your take?

Partial-Birth abortion should be illegal. If you're under 18, you should have to notify you parents. There should be at least a 48 hour waiting period.

The same can be said for people who are against abortion. Im pretty much pro-choice. Having an abortion is never an easy choice to make and its exactly a cake walk for the woman who gets one there are always risk. However, I think it should a legal choice to make as well as Plan B. I'll never understand how a president who was running things in the state that had one of the highest execution rate can be so strongly against abortion. Is it any better to kill a person then to "abort" a cluster of cells? Kinda hypocritical to me.

Gay marriage........GO!
The state should cease giving marriage licenses. Any two consenting adults , straight or gay, should be able to join in a civil union and recieve the same benefits a heterosexual couple recieves. If a couple wants to have a religious marriage ceremony, they are free to do so afterwards.

Sure. I dont see how allowing two people of the same sex marry would some how make a man love his wife less or vise versa. Plus some of my gay friends would throw one hell of a reception.
