Thanks for putting this song up.
It actually really means a lot to me- these are all issues that I struggle to put out an opinion about, in certain ways. Well, the issue of homouality isn't so much of a struggle- I flat out believe that there is nothing wrong with being gay.

But things like abortion are a little more difficult for me to talk about, simply because I kind of feel "too young" to talk about stuff like that, you know? ^^' And it's hard for me to say "I'm not comfortable with that topic", because I'm almost 20 years old and it seems a little unacceptable that I don't have an opinion on it ^^' Whenever I end up in a discussion about abortion with someone, I end up feeling like the awkward conservative parent trying to have a "-ed" talk with their child, while trying to avoid addressing it outright ^^'

There also seems to be more "grey area" with that, as opposed to homouality. It seems black and white to me that being gay is not wrong, plain and simple. But abortion as a whole bunch of circumstances and things like that so it's just hard to have an opinion about it.

But the line about abortion in this song really puts it out simply and speaks what I've been struggling to express for a while.

Today's definitely a day when I "feel like I've lost all faith", but this song has really helped me reconsider this and set up fresh, again. There's a song by Boy George called "Evil is So Civilized", and there's one line that says "you make me run from God", as in seeing "Christians" discriminate homouals and non-Christians is a terrifying sight to see. That song helped me establish that I feel that way.

And this one helped me move past that and figure out what it is that I believe :)
I'm really glad you shared this song with us <3
