"I will NOT favor any policy making children victims of culture wars, failed public policy, nativist fears, pinch pennies, or anything of that ilk, ever."

Some "conservatives" will fight to the death for the right of a fetus to life, demanding that the government give legal status to the unborn, then turn right around and deny the children of immigrants any rights, including the right to an education, because of their legal status.

Is it me, or do we really not make sense sometimes?

Shouldn't we be fighting for the rights of children of any legal status?

It all comes down to values. I have my core values. They are a priori. I will fight for them, just as those with other core values fight for theirs. And I will fight for the rights of the fetus, to the extent I think that fetus has the attributes of a sentient human. I have made my decision on that. We each draw our own lines on these issues. If we have well thought out values, and are informed, then those who have come that far, and oppose my values, I respect, even while I want to beat them in the public square. Isn't that what being an American is all about?
