I am not going to continue the abortion debate, because it is obviously never ending, and we have all expressed how we feel about it.
You say your concern things being placed into law to force people one way or the other. But this isn't just a concern with abortion. It is a concern with EVERYthing.
If you do not want anyone's beliefs forced on others, than I am assuming you aren't voting? Because there will be issues with that on BOTH sides. And I am much more concerned with what will be forced on me or what rights will be taken away if Obama becomes president.
Of course I will be voting. And yes, I will be voting for Obama. Am I concerned about the rights he might take away? Yes. On the other hand, having seen the rights taken away, ignored and corrupted under the Republicans, I'm not impressed with their way of doing things either. Going on Obama's campaign promises, combined with the fact he's going to have to deal with the Supreme Court (which he can stablize as moderate, but can't swing left), I don't think my rights are in a heck of a lot of danger . . . at least, no more than they've been for the last 8 years. That is, of course, widely open to debate. It comes down to which news sources you read and believe.
I will also point out that the right to determine what happens to my womb, particularly when there are health consequences, is a whole heck of a lot more personal than any right Obama seems to threaten, let alone SAYS he will threaten, or states he holds in contempt. But that's a whole other debate that basically comes down to whether I believe what he says about his intended policies, and that gets us into ACORN, socialism, Ayers, government insurance vs. socialized health care, and a whole bunch of topics that are just as much of a screaming match as abortion, without the virtue of actually being philosophically interesting.
Notably, it was NOT a forgone conclusion that I would vote for Obama. In the absence of viable third party candiates, it was going to be one or the other. But I have been a long time supporter of McCain. My vote was his to lose. He lost it.
