Here is something I have a hard time understanding. People who protest animal cruelty but they support abortion. I know that this has been an explosive and sensitive subject for years. Yesterday in my dramatic literature class we were talking about the post modern age in which we live in. People's values and world views are different from what they used to be. People are not comfortable with the ideas of fixed truths. Also political actions are very important. This is what I struggle with. Proposition 8 passed, which I did support, along with two other propositions. One allows girls 12 years old to get an abortion without parental consent. The other proposition required farm animals to have a certain amount of space and room to walk around. I just have a hard time understanding why animals would be more important than people. I love animals and I think animal abuse is horrible and awful. I have to leave the room whenever one of those comercials comes on with Sarah McGlaklan. Here is my point: if animals have rights why don't unborn babies. Legaly they are considered human. In the trial of Scott Peterson he was tried for double homocide because he killed his pregnant wife. I was just thinking about this today and I needed to get my thoughts out. Thanks for listening.
