I'm as pro-choice as it gets, but once the baby is physically autonomous it has a "negative" right to life, pure and simple. There's no rational way you can justify this...
But this shouldn't give any credence to the prohibition mongers out there!
So why do liberals champion abortions and at the same time oppose the death penalty?
Remember the obgyn who carved his initials onto a womans belly after giving her a cesearian section? I tell you, doctors (and yes, police and lawyers) tend to cover for their own --- often until it is too late. I imagine that this is what happened here...a known bad dr that colleagues covered for one too many times.
I know that I often talk about smaller government and government intrusions into our lives but there are certain professions that make outside examination necessary. There is just too much to lose otherwise.
I agree. Just like the doc who over-implanted the octo-mom. There are bad apples in every profession, unfortunately.

Nope... I am a liberal who is pro-choice, and I do not oppose the death penalty. I wouldn't call myself a supporter, but I do think it should be used in extreme cases - for instance, I cheered along with everyone else when Tim McVeigh was finally put to death. He was a waste of space and taxpayer money, so I had NO problem saying "adios" to that pile of crap.
Now, if we're going to talk about hypocrisy, isn't it hypocritical when a conservative is "pro-life" and yet has no problem with war? I guess human life is only sacred in the womb, and they don't care about life once they're here? I also have a problem with pro-lifers who oppose gay & single adoption, and social welfare... since once again, we need to take care of the children AFTER they are born. But I know these are just generalizations, and of course we all have some hypocritical views, whether you are conservative or liberal (or anything else in-between). Anyone who claims they have NO views that contradict each other is lying or ignorant.
Hmm..It woukd probably be easier to tell you the libs who are pro-life and for the death penalty
How so?
Are you saying you know every liberal in the country and you know what they are for and against?
Or are you speaking of the very few people you know in this world?
