I made a report and nothing was done, so I guess the mods dont think this is a lefty. I didn't think conservatives believed in abortion?

"IMHO a fetus is rather parasitic by defenition until that point and thus the spot where the line be drawn. To me this is a fair comprimise that both sides can claim victory, not toal victory mind you , but indeed progress."

Compromise? Yeah, right.

Well, if this ain't a Leftist, it's one of those fence sitters, who can teeter and fall either way. Just as bad.

Let it post. We'll find out soon enough what it is.

You made a report about what - this newbie's bad spelling and grammer? Read his post again, on most issues he's at least mildly to the right.

One's view on abortion alone does not qualify or disqualify him or her as a conservative. If it did, Rep. Chris Smith would automatically be considered a conservative - and his voting record on other issues of importance to conservatives such as guns (horrible) taxes (fair), regs (fair) - wouldn't even be taken into account. It's the overall philosophy that matters, not any one single issue that pegs someone as a conservative or a lib.

For the record, although I am opposed to judicial activism, I do think it is incumbent upon the Supremes to overturn Roe v. Wade, thus taking an activist role in undoing a horrific act of judicial activism.

a report huh? Well thats funny why did you not post to me?
I am a conservative. I also am a person that recognizes that no one group will get everything it wants exactly the way it wants it. That my friend is a pipe dream. If you choose to live in a world that does believe it is possible, then go ahead and do so. But do keep in mind it is your world not the real world.

I do not think abortion on demand is proper. I do not think taking the right totally away from the mother is either.
take a look at it from both sides for a minute and you may see where I am coming from.

I do, in strictly limited cases, and shall be voting Conservative today in my State Elections (I currently live in Australia, although it was my American husband who introduced me to FR).

Many people might call me (and my late husband) libertarians. But if we believe in the lesser of 2 evils, and would not vote Democrat (or in my own country's case, Labor) with a gun to our heads... are we not welcome here?
