The gap between what the president says and what the president does is ever widening.

A Political Taboo…A Shame on Society
Posted in Abortion, Politics, Society on March 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Many people feel that the issue of abortion is a political taboo. Nobody on either side is going to be swayed to change their position, so why even bring it up? It just causes unnecessary bickering. I think this is wrong, and I’m not afraid to say it. I think it should be talked about, [...]
