I am a Pro-Lifer on this one. I think abortion should not be readily available to anyone who wants one. However, I think it should be an available option if the birth may pose a problem to the child or the mother.
Animal Testing
I ride the fence, so to speak, on this one. I believe that animals should not be tested on for cosmetics or products along those lines, however I feel that it is ok to test animals with drugs or medicines that could potentially save lives.
Banning of Books
Some of you have not heard of this one. This is where school officials remove books from school libraries for various reasons. Banned books include The Diary of Anne Frank, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and To Kill A Mockingbird. I think this is totally uncalled for. This is sheltering kids from some of the classics, mostly because of of the time periods of hate or dispair that each book portrays.

Cloning
This is a really controversial one. From a scientific point of view, I can see the vast amounts of knowledge that can be gained from recreating man. How scientists may be able to find the genetic causes of diseases through cloned DNA and organisms. However my moral beliefs show that it is not our place to tinker with God's work. And frankly, in a battle of Science vs Religion, in my book Religion wins out.
Deforestation
This one, I am totally against. Man has no right to disturb animal's habitats when there is plenty of room left for him on other parts on the planet to set up factories, cities, and the like.
Evolution
On this topic, I stand for what is called a Creationary Evolutionist. This means that I believe that God created man, and man did evolve. However, he only evolved from a more primitive form of man, and not monkeys.
Faith Healing
I am really against faith healing. I believe that we were given the power of modern medicine to cure many diseases, and I think that we should use the talents we were given. Or, more specifically, the talents others (doctors and surgeons) were given. However, I am totally for faith playing a major role in the healing process, just with a 'nudge' from modern medicine.
French Fries
For what it's worth, I have trouble tasting a difference between fries. However, if you do want some good french fries, visit Sonic or Long John Silvers. Although they are neither the top restaurants, they both carry good fries and other food. My favorite fries around, though, are Long John's new waffle-fries. They are delectable.
