I want good education for all, good roads, good city services. I feel patriotic when I pay my assessment.

]]> Comment on I’m a secular humanist and a liberal, and I oppose abortion by Jen R http://www.billpoorman.com/2010/09/20/im-a-secular-humanist-and-a-liberal-and-i-oppose-abortion/#comment-106 Jen R Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:42:42 +0000 http://02a4aad.netsolhost.com/bpwordpress/2010/09/20/im-a-secular-humanist-and-a-liberal-and-i-oppose-abortion/#comment-106 Hi!<br /><br />I saw your post because I have a Google News alert set up for "pro-life liberal".<br /><br />I love this post. I too am a secular humanist and a liberal who opposes abortion. In fact, I did an interview with Point of Inquiry recently about atheist opposition to abortion. I think we should be blog buddies -- people like us need to stick together. :D Hi!
