You have 50 millions abortion around the world every year. How do you think you are going to stop it???? abortion is a dead issue. leave it legal.
Study romania. 20 000 women died in back alley abortions. Because of him ruining the lives of millions, he was arrested and shot along with his wife. Then Abortion became legal! No one force you to have one! so let people decide of what is right for them.

What some of you do not understand is that Obama and Clinton have the same program. You may not like Clinton but she will be a much better choice than MC cain. If you want 4 more years of the Bush agenda, then vote MCCain.
Republicans are regressive, Democrats are progressive. Looking at both, democrats have much better ideas, and common sense. The republican party has been a disaster for this country, they have proven, they cannot govern a country like the usa. Also, MC cain may reinstore the draft, so if you have kids, think twice before you vote for him. He will stay at war with Iraq for ever and will ruined this country.

Everyone should be tested. Period! I am very healthy but I am single and if I get into a relationship, I want to know if my partner is clean.

The republican party has proven it is not competent to govern this country. I hope Democrats win and will will for many years to come.
One of the most important issue is health care. It is time that america look how universal health care works in other countries. For all other industrialized countries, health care for all, is a right! Just like the right to education. This country is the only one in the industrialized world who do not have a system who covers all americans. Also America has the most expensive healt care system in the world! So, time to jump on the wagon like everybody else!

on Recognizing Mental Illness
Mental institution should be reopen. Jails are no place for the mentally ill and most people in jail are mentally ill. Universal health care is needed. France has the best health care system in the world. My youngest sister is bipolar and if it was not for universal health care, she might now be dead or on the streets. She sees a psychiatrist twice a week, is provided with medication and the best care. Because of this, she is able to fonction in society. The very large majority of homeless in this country are mentally ill. Prevention is the key for all diseases. Also, it is a fact that french people like all europeans pay way less for their health care system than americans do. Universal health care is the best thing that can happen to the citizens of a country. No european would want it any other way. Also it is a myth to think that we can not choose our doctors and have to wait for months to be seen. I vacationed in France and I was seen by a doctor 1/2 hour after I made a call. In France, you can choose your doctor, your hospital, and there is no wait in line. Hospitals will keep you as long as necessary, until you recover. Also, everyone receive wonderful care. I cannot believe that the usa is the only industrialized country who does not provide health care to all its citizens. It is a real Shame! To me, it is a proof that american government do not care for the well being of their citizens! It is time to stop investing trillions of dollars in the military and invest in the people!
