I saw how it worked from the other side.... and the typical pictures were circulating in pamphlets against abortion... The ones where you see fetuses being cut to pieces while still inside the woman's belly... something that is only done by the 20th week of gestation... not the 10th, which is what was proposed, back then.
Lies and false information was given to the pro-lifers... The game is always the same, ever since the first religion...

I don't remember such pictures, I was a kid back then, heck I wasn't even in high school, I really can't say anything about it, but I recall (I'm assuming you are portuguese too) PCP and BE (no offense but I despise both parties equally, they have no utility) being very vocal about legalizing abortion as a supreme woman right. Is your marriage good even though you think differently? My girlfriend is also a christian.
Yeah... those parties are a bit dumb, but the others aren't that much greater, also... I always find it difficult to vote in this country. I tend to go for some obscure minority.
Yes they were very vocal. So were the churches, where all the old people go... the same old people who vote... unlike the young people who prefer to go to the beach or sleep in after getting drunk on the previous Saturday.
It was my impression that, had the young people voted (young is under 40) the result would have been very different.
And yes, my marriage is good, in spite of the difference of opinion on a few subjects... But I'm no example for anyone, really. I'm the exception that proves the rule!
