"""I dunno. I'm not particularly religious, but I'm also socially conservative. One does not have to be religious to believe that abortion is both the taking of innocent life and thinly veiled eugenics, that marriage -is- supposed to be about providing a stable platform for children, etc. etc. """
I agree. I'm a not very observant Jew, but a strong believeing one, and I agree with you about abortion, in fact, I think that anyone, libertarian, conservative, or otherwise, who is concerned about individual freedom, should always give the unborn the benefit of the doubt. If they are not sure when it becomes human, assume that it happens sometime before birth, and is therefore entitled to live.
I swear, the next time any whining feminist tells me that the right wing wants to get into her bedroom, I'm going to ask her why anyone would want to get into her bedroom.
But, I agree with Steyn. If the liberty abroad, and the liberty at home conservatives cannot find common ground, the Reagan/Gingerich revolution is over, and won't get re-started for a long time.
