  • My simple position is that Abortion is a medical decision that should be made by the pregnant party and their doctor. I am vehemently against abortion bans and efforts to limit abortion access and comprehensive sex education.
    I have thought and written on this issue extensively and through much personal pain. I advise those who are curious about my personal position to read the article I wrote on my personal journey with the issue: / why-i-change-my-mind-o...

    So well said Andy. I'm a 63 year old Evangelical Christian and I completely concur with your thought process and research. As a women coming out of an age when I needed my father's signature to even open a bank account, I abhor the thought of America taking away hard fought liberties yet again. For a State to insert themselves in my privacy (or daughter's and granddaughter's), ignore my HIPAA rights or my fundamental human rights concerning my own body. I firmly believe that abortion decisions (or ANY medical decisions should be between the oerson, her physician and God.

    My mother almost died from hemorrhaging from an ectopic pregnancy. The other thing is banning abortion doesn't actually stop abortions, just means they happen in hotel rooms without proper tools, sanitary conditions, and with greater risk of complications and infections. This is how things used to be done in this country before Roe, as anyone over the age of 70 can attest.

    good man! love to see this.
    i first saw you when you were introducing Malazan as a post-modern/post-structuralist work of literature, so i figured you had a good head on your shoulders. admittedly, the title of this video had me alarmed, but curious.
    i'm less than 2 mins in, and i'm glad to see that you're still one of the good ones.

    Hearing someone empathetically describe the process of changing their mind is so valuable in persuading otherwise decent people to rethink their harmful opinions. Thanks Andy! And good luck! I know you'll make a great representative.

    The world would be a better place if everyone was willing to consider new evidence and potentially change their minds.
