Quote:It's a complex issue that is often part of "the fight" between liberals and conservatives, left/right, whatever.

 

Regarding the first part in bold.  I won't say that any morals are "higher" by any means.  If you think that conservative point-of-view morals are "higher" then that's your own opinion.  I just pointed out how a "typical conservative" (in my opinion) thinks and acts.

 

Regarding the second part in bold, I have never said that abortion should be illegal.  What I do advocate is for there to be less of them and the procedure not be a form of "birth control".  I also don't want any of my money in the form of taxes paying for any of it.

 

I would rather see an effort put forth to actually EDUCATE young people (children) regarding the issue for the purposes of birth control rather than protection against STD's.  Right now, the "education" that kids get is to protect against STD's and NOT about protection against an unwanted pregnancy.  Whether or not it's "morally acceptable" for young kids to be actively sexual, that's another issue altogether.

 

Many liberals are against teaching abstinence because it's viewed as a "religious" point-of-view because it is commonly taught in most churches.  The fact of the matter is, it should be taught in <del>public</del> government schools to avoid "unwanted pregnancies" as well as avoid the health risk of STD's.

 

Getting back to the topic at hand (abortion).  I haven't seen a single liberal justify the difference between an unborn child aborted (just a bunch of cells) and an unborn child being the victim of a homicide.

 

Again, my favorite quote.

 

"I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life."

I can appreciate what you're saying. We will just agree to disagree on the labels...liberals..conservatives. I've seen a few too many " conservatives" ( Jimmy Swaggert types) that preached and later getting caught with their hands in the honey pot. Politicians that ran off the South America to hook up. There are pieces of piss on both aisles
