True Intentions Revealed

"The Pro Choice Movement: The radical idea that a woman owns her own body"


As everyone knows this past election was a huge shift towards more conservative candidates. Many, myself included liked seeing politicians who had been in many terms finally taken out of office (regardless of party). My true excitement in the previous elections came from the election of Tea Party Candidates. Yes, they indeed ran under the Republican banner, but they were not full fledged Republicans, to me these were the more moderate candidates and the ones with the best potential. The problem when people shift from one party to the other is they do it blindly. In many areas this blind push for more conservative candidates has lead to a full pendulum swing (extreme left to extreme right). The problem with this is although many candidates are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, the majority of the population is somewhere in the middle.
What we see now is many of these conservative candidates who ran on the campaign of smaller budget less spending are already moving on to other agendas. Agendas they barely if at all campaigned on. What I am talking about is the new Pro Life push. The problem in recent years has been huge government deficits. So the past legislature passing a stimulus and a healthcare bill is insane and will only destroy our economy more. But brining in new people that said they would fix the problem and then go off and address the abortion issue does not help at all!!
This new movement has been mostly one occurring on a state level. There are now 29 governors considered to be solidly anti-abortion, compared with 21 last year. Some now pro life state examples are: Florida and Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as Georgia and Oklahoma. Maine and Pennsylvania are now strongly anti-abortion as well.
In a time when the budget should be our biggest consideration both at the state and federal level we do not need this huge conservative advantage to run off on social issues. This will only lead to a backlash and we will go back to liberal governors and representatives on the next election cycle. These governors should be working on what they campaigned on. This huge conservative push was not because people wanted anti-abortion laws passed, the majority of American's are pro choice. This anti-liberal push was to fix our economy.
