Wow, this topic went waaaaaaaaaay off the rails. I'm gonna try to stay on the original subject. The idea that ALL people who are pro-choice are Liberal and ALL people who are anti-abortion are Conservative is totally ridiculous. Life is not black and white. You can have wildly varying opinions on a variety of subjects, by taking each one at face value. In fact, I believe most people do this, but for some reason the "powers that be" want to force people into labeling their political affiliations. I refuse to do that, because my beliefs vary depending on the subject. I refuse to call myself a Conservative or a Liberal. I have some very Liberal beliefs on some subjects and some extremely Conservative beliefs on others. Why do people have to label their political affiliations if their opinions vary by subject?
