So how do you feel about the fact that most Democrats are pro-choice? Do you overlook abortion when it comes to voting?

Pro-choice, but abortion is an issue I avoid discussing at all costs and don't feel particularly strongly since I can see the reasoning behind both sides, and they are fundamentally irreconcilable views depending on where you are coming from.

If you are pro-life, you sincerely believe that you are preventing the murder of a person, and I can see this perspective because, well, without an abortion, that would have become a person. And we don't have an objective answer to when life begins or if we have souls or not, so if I think about that too much, it can make me pretty uncomfortable. This is why I really hate it when fellow pro-choicers say things like, "You just hate women/want to control other people's bodies!" because it's just such a dumb accusation.

This is unfortunately an issue that will never be resolved, and two people can spend all of eternity arguing about it, but they will never agree or resolve their differences because it is just such an irreconcilable difference of viewpoints.
This is a fairly accurate summation of my views on abortion as well.

I am pro-choice politically but thinking about the abortion procedure itself does make me uncomfortable a bit, so yeah I don't talk about it much. I feel as though there are other ways to limit abortion without outright banning it. I think that there should increased sex education in middle school and/or high school, free contraceptives, stipend for women thinking about getting abortions, increasing the minimum wage in this country because poorer women get abortions at a higher rate, etc.
