y o u r t h o u g h t s o n
ABORTION: If it's a result of rape, OK. If the mother's going to die as a result of the pregnancy, OK. If the mother couldn't just figure out how to keep your legs closed, no way. There are plenty of people that are willing to adopt kids.
GAY MARRIAGE: Marriage is a religious covenant, not a state-created notion. Domestic partnerships, OK. Civil unions with the same rights as marriage, OK. But my Church's rules don't allow gay "marriage." I still think God approves of being gay, but I'm not the one making the rules. And I haven't exactly seen God come down here to explain himself.
SPICE GIRLS: Too bouncy, too energetic, too hyped, and too overplayed for the sheer lack of talent.
DREAMS: ... can come true.
