Election 2012 & Political Thoughts

1. I think I could connect more with the Democratic party because I believe in order to progress, you need to change. Although sometimes it seems hard, things do need to change.

2. I think socialized health care is a good thing. I remember reading a story in a magazine about a girl who had a mother who continued to get sick, but because she didn't have health care she never went to the doctors. Eventually she went and found out if she had cancer. Had she been able to see a doctor without worrying about paying for it, she would have been able to catch it sooner and it may not have ended her life. There are cons to this, though. Since more people could be able to go doctors, there would be less available. But then again, since there would be more of a demand, more jobs could be created whether its doctors, nurses, or people to build machines to create the things needed for medical care.

3. In regards to abortion, I am pro-choice. It is better for women to legally be allowed to choose what they want to do with their bodies. Whether or not women could get abortions, it wouldn't stop the ones who felt they needed it. It's better for them to have professionals and the best medical care in order to protect the health of the woman.
4. I believe gays should have the right to marry and receive the full legal rights that a man and woman receives when they get married. Who someone loves shouldn't determine the benefits those people do and do not receive.
