Because my right to choose is still part of the Democratic platform and it's very much not part of the other side. I spent a lot of time and energy campaigning against Prop 8 before the election... more than many gay people I know.. while I was going to school full time. I sacrificed papers and grades to campaign against it*.

When it comes down to it, in my mind my right to choose will trump your right to get married. I'm selfish like that. I also have confidence that gay marriage will be legal, and soon regardless of who is in office. I'm not so sure Row v. Wade won't be overturned.

So that's how I'll continue to vote for Democrats or liberals.

Before anyone jumps all over me ask yourself what you did to stop Prop 8 from passing, what you would do to protect my right to choose and what's more important to you.

*Luckily my PoliSci teacher gave me an extension after the fact since I was taking part of the political process but I didn't ask before, I emailed him after it was already late.
