I think Boortz feels that it is more of a control issue with many pro-life people. He would rather let someone make their own decisions and hold them resposible for their actions.

I agree with you. While personally I abhor abortion, I don't think my beliefs give me the right to impose them on others. That completely changes though once the fetus is viable. And it pretty much changes for me after some short, reasonable period for the mother to make her decision.

The problem with the pro lifers is they scare off otherwise conservative voters who don't like having a bible waved in their face.

The only question we should be asking each other is whether or not you think Roe should be overturned. That is an easy question to answer as even the most ardent supports of Roe know it is not based on the reality of what is in the Constitution.

This is an empty argument because you do it every time you vote. You are imposing your beliefs that conservatism/libertarianism is superior on the minority.

Does not the government of the people, by the people and for the people have the obligation to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans?

The problem with the pro lifers is they scare off otherwise conservative voters who don't like having a bible waved in their face.

You argue an anti-religious standpoint but you do not mention that you are also arguing against scientific fact that the embryo is human and that every single human started life out this way.

Are we to mean that we all have equal rights under the law or just those who can speak up?
