All the intelligent men I know, the self assured, humble, thoughtful, confident men, are all Pro-Choice....funny how that works
If you cannot refute the argument you belittle someone just because they possess values different than your own. So much for multiculturalism.

I oppose state sanctioned killing. That's hardly an "emotional response." The state should have limits. The founding fathers certainly felt that way. I do too. In regards to your "clinical medical term," I sincerely believe you're misusing the term, parasite.

Tolerance is not a liberal value.

Abortion. Is. Legal.

And should be. Murder is not.

There's a reason for the distinction.

If Neo-conservatives cared as much about the lives of living, breathing, creatures as much as they care about embryos?

This would be a non issue.
Generally speaking, we do. It is you that is arguing for death. I, on the other hand, am arguing in defence of life. Abortion isn't murder but it is killing.

I am discussing this logically.
Just how "logical" is it for a nation to kill 50 million of it's own? Just where is the logic in that?

I will defend any and all living, breathing humans born into this world.

I'm anti-death penalty.

How logical is it for a nation not to want to provide healthcare to those who are unable to afford it?

I'm worried about those already here. Not those who might be.

Liberals seem just as tolerant as conservatives. From my independent POV.

Nah - conservatives actually are tolerant.

Liberals - aren't.

The problem with liberals is that they don't have a sense of right and wrong.

I just had my first child three months ago.

Words cannot describe how much I love my son.

I am still pro-choice.
