Rudy's right.
Freedom and independence are incompatible with social-'conservatism'.
I don't think so but murder is incompatible with social conservatism. As it happens murder is also incompatible with "freedom and independence". Rudy supports later term abortion which is murder pure and simple. Looks like both you and Rudy are incompatible with "freedom and independence" from where I'm sitting.
Abortion has nothing to do with belief in liberty and freedom, and everything to do with the fact that the Constitution outlaws murder...which abortion is, the murder of an unborn baby.
