There is one issue, which I feel quite strongly about, and that is Roe vs. Wade. I feel that it is very important, that this decision by the Supreme Court should not be overturned. Too many women have died in the past when abortion was not legalized. If we revert to the old way, I am afraid many women will be subjected to butchers once again. Although I am not in favor of abortion whatsoever, I do feel it is the right of any woman to decide whether or not she should have an abortion. McCain made it quite clear that he would appoint judges to the Supreme Court who would overturn this landmark decision. John McCain believes that “Roe vs. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned.” He wants to return the issue of abortion to the individual states. I cannot vote for a man, whom I believe will commit such a travesty. Barrack Obama however, will even go as far as signing a bill called “The Freedom of Choice Act.” This Act would guarantee that abortion remains legal, even if Roe vs. Wade is overturned. I don’t think we should revert back to the times when women went to butchers who were not doctors, to receive an abortion. So many women died, under the knives of men and women who did not know what they were doing.
Another important issue is the healthcare issue. Obama would require healthcare coverage for all children. He promises to offer guaranteed eligibility similar to the Federal Employee Healthcare Benefits. McCain on the other hand is opposed to any universal coverage. McCain does not provide any indication on how he plans to lower health costs. Obama has provided us with a 50-65 billion dollar plan which would be financed by the healthcare system. Most revenue would come from ending tax cuts for those with incomes more than $250,000.
As you can see, I do believe Obama is the candidate of choice. Even though the video states no man is a “superman,” I cannot continue to support a party who has brought us back to a state worse than when we were in the Great Depression.
