I'm Not Pro-Death

Okay everyone, I'm about to break one of my own rules. Shocking, I know, since I'm not much of a rule-breaker. But here goes.

I try not to explore issues that are too controversial on this blog because I don't want to alienate readers and I want a broad spectrum of views to be represented on this site. Which is why I'm always asking (although not many people respond) for guest posts. I am genuinely interested in what everyone has to say, whether I agree with it or not.

I've done a pretty good job of sticking to this rule with the exception of posts dealing with issues around marriage equality, since they affect me and my family directly. But every now and then something gets to me and I just have to stir things up.

Which brings me to (among other things) the abortion and contraception debates currently taking over our politics. Dum-dum-DUM.
