I wouldn't vote for him...

First, it has been a while since I have posted. Between school, and work I'm a little busy, but it is what it is.

I'm going to stray a little bit from the kind of stuff I usually talk about on here, but I will tie it all in at the end. Promise.

So that link is to a video about Mitt Romney, and his goal of labeling conception as the start of life. This would make abortion illegal, but also many forms of birth control. It is a great video and I encourage you to watch it, or at least the first half.

And while this doesn't directly affect my life ,as I am neither a woman, nor a man likely to impregnate one, (also i live in Canada, but American politics are so much more interesting) it does show what kind of attitudes and views Romney will take. As much as he claims he can separate his religious beliefs from his duty as president, stuff like this makes it look like maybe he can't.

If this is the hard line stance he takes on abortion, I can't imagine he is going to be helpful or encouraging to LGBT people looking to get fair and equal treatment by the government.
